an administrative review of sales of merchandise covered by the order

Rescission of the Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR Sec.  351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind 
an administrative review under this section, in whole or in part, if a

decides that it is reasonable to do so. See 19 CFR Sec.  351.213(d)(1). 
Hylsa, Mueller and Southland withdrew their respective requests for 
review within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of 
initiation. No other party requested an administrative review for this 
period. Therefore, consistent with 19 CFR Sec.  351.213(d)(1), the 
Department hereby rescinds the administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on pipe and tube from Mexico for the period November 1, 
2006, through October 31, 2007. The Department intends to issue 
assessment instructions to Customs and Border Protection 15 days after 
the date of publication of this rescission of administrative review.

concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR Sec.  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.
