SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 2, 2018, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on 
OCTG from China for the POR.\1\ Commerce received a timely-filed 
request from Maverick Tube Corporation (Maverick), in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.213(b), for an administrative review of 18 producers/
exporters of OCTG from China: Anhui Tianda Oil Pipe Company Limited; 
Doright Co., Ltd.; DSC Pipes and Tubes Private Limited; Hainan Standard 
Stone Co., Ltd.; Hengyang Hongda Special Steel Tube Co. Ltd.; Hengyang 
Steel Tube Group International Trading Inc.; Hubei Xingegang Steel Co., 
Ltd.; Jiangsu Chengde Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; Jiangyi City Changlongde; 
Shanghai Jianeng Luggage Co., Ltd.; Tianjn Pipe International Economic 
& Trading Corporation; Wuxi Seamless Oil Pipe Co., Ltd.; Wuxi Zhenda 
Special Steel Tube Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; Yangzhou Chengde Steel Pipe 
Co., Ltd.; Yangzhou Lontrin Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; Yangzhou Shengde 
Crafts Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Gross Seamless Tube Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang 
Xinghe Group.\2\ On March 16, 2018, the Department published a notice 
of initiation.\3\ This notice of initiation inadvertently omitted 
Yangzhou Shengde Crafts Co., Ltd. for which an administrative review 
was requested by Maverick. On September 10, 2018, Commerce published a 
notice of initiation to correct this omission.\4\ Subsequent to the 
Initiation Notices, Commerce requested from U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) data for U.S. imports of subject merchandise during 
the POR for the companies for which an administrative review was 
requested.\5\ The results of the CBP data inquiry demonstrated that 
there were no entries of subject merchandise exported by these 
companies during the POR.\6\ Commerce solicited interested party 
comments,\7\ and we received no comments.

Rescission of Review

    It is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of a 
countervailing duty order, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there 
are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for 
which

[[Page 49548]]

liquidation is suspended.\8\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(l). Therefore, for 
an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, 
suspended entry that Commerce can order CBP to liquidate at the newly 
calculated countervailing duty assessment rate. Accordingly, in the 
absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we 
are now rescinding this administrative review of the countervailing 
duty order on OCTG from China, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Republic of China: Notice of Rescission of Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Review; 2015 82 FR 14349 (March 20, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This determination and notice are issued and published pursuant to 
sections 705(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
