[[Page 17794]]

notice of ``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the 
countervailing duty order on welded line pipe from Turkey for the 
period January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.\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 countervailing 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 Commerce received 
timely requests for review.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 
countervailing duty order on welded line pipe from Turkey covering the 
period January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. Countervailing 
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of 
estimated countervailing 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 Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice 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 18, 2018.
