Operations, Office 6, Import Administration, International Trade

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 1, 2006, the Department published a notice of ``Opportunity 
to Request Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty order for 
the period of May 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006. See Antidumping or 
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation: 
Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 71 FR 25565 (May 1, 
2006). On May 31, 2006, respondent requested a review of the 
antidumping duty order on SSPC from Belgium. Respondent was the only 
party to request an administrative review. In response to this request, 
on July 3, 2006, the Department initiated an antidumping duty 
administrative review on SSPC from Belgium. See Initiation Notice.
    On August 8, 2006, pursuant to section 351.213(d)(1) of the 
Department's regulations, respondent withdrew its request for an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on SSPC from 
Belgium. No other party requested an administrative review of this 
antidumping duty order.

Rescission of the Administrative Review

    Pursuant to section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations, 
the Secretary will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in 
part, if a party that requested the review withdraws the request within 
90 days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of the 
requested review. The initiation notice for this review was published 
on July 3, 2006. We received respondent's withdrawal request on August 
8, 2006, within 90 days after publication of the initiation notice. 
Since respondent withdrew its request for review of the antidumping 
duty order in a timely manner, and since it was the only party that 
requested a review, the Department is rescinding this administrative 
review.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
company for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be 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). The Department 
will issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP within 15 days of 
publication of this notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and subsequent assessment 
of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also 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 section 351.305(a)(3) of the Department's 
regulation. 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 issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i) of the Act and section 351.213(d)(4) of the Department's 
regulations.

    Dated: August 16, 2006.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
