SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On June 1, 2009, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of ``Opportunity to Request an

[[Page 51838]]

Administrative Review'' of the antidumping order on certain stainless 
steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Taiwan for the period June 1, 2008, 
through May 31, 2009. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review, 74 FR 26202 (June 1, 2009).
    On June 30, 2009, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), the 
Department received a timely request from Ta Chen to conduct an 
administrative review of its sales during the period of review 
(``POR''), i.e., June 1, 2008, through May 31, 2009. Ta Chen was the 
only party to request an administrative review.
    On July 29, 2009, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of the antidumping duty administrative review of certain stainless 
steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Taiwan. See Initiation Notice, 74 FR 
37691 (July 29, 2009).
    On September 15, 2009, Ta Chen timely withdrew its request for 
review.

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. See 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1). Ta Chen's request is timely, as it falls within 90 
days of the publication date of the notice of initiation. Additionally, 
no other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on certain stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from 
Taiwan for the period June 1, 2008, through May 31, 2009. Therefore, in 
response to Ta Chen's withdrawal of its request for review, and 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department hereby rescinds the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Taiwan for the period June 
1, 2008, through May 31, 2009.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Since this review is being rescinded, the antidumping duties shall be 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 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after publication of this rescission notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protection orders (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/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 sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 1, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
