Background

    On December 4, 2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of ``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the 
antidumping duty order on welded line pipe from Turkey for the period 
December 1, 2016, through November 30, 2017.\1\ In December 2017, 
Commerce received a timely request, in accordance with section 751(a) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), to conduct an 
administrative review of this antidumping duty order from one of the 
petitioners in this case, Maverick Tube Corporation (Maverick).\2\ 
Based upon this request, on February 23, 2018, in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Act, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation listing 19 companies for which Maverick requested 
a review.\3\

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 82 FR 57219 (December 4, 2017).
    \2\ See Letter from Maverick to Commerce, ``Welded Line Pipe 
from the Republic of Turkey: Request for Administrative Review,'' 
dated December 29, 2017.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 8058 (February 23, 2018).

administrative review.\4\

from the Republic of Turkey: Withdrawal of Request for 
Administrative Review,'' dated April 12, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
aforementioned withdrawal request was timely submitted, and no other 
interested party requested an administrative review of any company. 
Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on welded line pipe from Turkey covering the 
period December 1, 2016, through November 30, 2017.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Antidumping 
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of 
estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or 
withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. 
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping 
duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written 
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion 
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply 
with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is 
subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 751 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 17, 2018.
James Maeder,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Operations, performing the duties of Deputy 
Assistant Secretary, for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
