review of these companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 76 FR 53404 (August 26, 2011).
    In a letter dated November 22, 2011, Petitioner withdrew its 
request for review of all of the companies for which it requested 
review, and requested that the Department rescind the review with 
respect to these companies. No other parties requested a 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 party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Accordingly, Petitioners timely withdrew its requests for review of 
Adler Steel, Al Jazeera Steel, Baoshan, Benxi Northern, CNOOC Kingland,

Zijin, Huludao City Steel Pipe, Hunan Great, Hunan Hengyang, Jiangsu 
Changbao, Jiangsu Yulong, Liaoning Northern, Shanghai Zhongyou Tipo, 
Shanghai Zhongyou TIPO, Sichuan YNJ, SteelFORCE, Tianjin Baolai, 
Tianjin Huilitong, Tianjin Longshenghua, Tianjin Shuangjie, Tianjin 
Uniglory, Weifang East, Wuxi Fastube, Zhejiang Kingland, and Zhuji Tri-
Union. Because no other party requested a review, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), the Department is rescinding the entire administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on CWP from the PRC for the period 
July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
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 the date of 
publication of this 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 also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. 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 the 
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i) of the 
Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 5, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
