SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On August 25, 2009, the Department published a notice of initiation 
of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on CWP from 
the PRC covering the period, January 15, 2008--June 30, 2009. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 42873 (August 25, 
2009) (``Initiation''). On September 30, 2009, Allied Tube & Conduit, 
Sharon Tube Company, IPSCO Tubulars, Inc., Western Tube & Conduit 
Corporation, Northwest Pipe Company, Wheatland Tube Co., i.e., the Ad 
Hoc Coalition For Fair Pipe Imports From China (collectively known as, 
``Petitioners'') withdrew their request for a review of the following 
13 companies: Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Yulong Steel Pipe 
Co., Ltd., Liaoning Northern Steel Pipe Co., Ltd., Hunan Hengyang Steel 
Tube (Group) Co., Ltd., CNOOC Kingland Pipeline Co., Ltd., Jiangsu 
Changbao Steel Tube Co., Ltd., Wuxi Fastube Industry Co., Ltd., Weifang 
East Steel Pipe Co., Ltd., Tianjin Shuangjie Steel Pipe Co., Ltd., 
Zhejiang Kingland Pipeline Industry Co., Ltd., SteelFORCE Far East 
Ltd., Tianjin Baolai International Trade Co., Ltd., and Shanghai 
Zhongyou TIPO Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. Petitioners were the only party to 
request a review of these companies. On October 5, 2009, Sino Link SCS 
(Asia) Limited (``Sino Link'') withdrew its own request for a review.

Rescission of Antidumping 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. Because Petitioners and Sino Link submitted their requests to 
rescind the administrative review within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation, the Department is rescinding 
this review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

Assessment Instructions

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For 
companies for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall 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 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 
days after publication of this notice.

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 doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    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.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 29, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
