of circular welded non-alloy steel pipe, the Department of Commerce 
(``the Department'') initiated an administrative review of the

this review as a result of both respondents' withdrawal of their 
request for an administrative review.

of November 1, 2003, through October 31, 2004, on November 1, 2004. See 
69 FR 63359. Respondents NDN and Hylsa both requested that the 
Department conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Mexico on November 
30, 2004. In response to these requests, the Department published the 
initiation of the antidumping duty administrative review on circular

from the administrative review from NDN on January 7, 2005, and from 
Hylsa on February 8, 2005. The requests for review submitted by NDN and 
Hylsa, respectively, were the only requests for administrative review 
of this order for the period November 1, 2003, through October 31, 
2004.

Rescission of the Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review under this section, in whole or in part, if a 
party that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of 
the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested 
review. Since all of the parties who initially requested an 
administrative review, NDN and Hylsa, have withdrawn their requests in 
a timely manner, we are rescinding this review. The Department will 
issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Border and Customs 
Protection within 15 days of publication of this notice.
    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or 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 sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
