Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe From the People's 
Republic of China: Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

DATES: Effective Date: December 20, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joshua Morris at (202) 482-1779; AD/
CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230.

Background

    On July 1, 2011, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice announcing the opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the countervailing duty order on circular 
welded carbon quality steel pipe (``CWP'') from the People's Republic 
of China (``PRC'') for the period January 1, 2010, through December 31, 
2010. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 
76 FR 38609 (July 1, 2011). On August 1, 2011, the Wheatland Tube 
Company (``Wheatland''), a domestic producer of CWP, timely requested 
that the Department conduct a review of nineteen producers and/or 
exporters of the subject merchandise. In accordance with 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department published a notice initiating this 
administrative review. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 
53404 (August 26, 2011).

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On 
November 22, 2011, Wheatland withdrew its request for review of all 
nineteen exporters and producers within the 90-day period. Therefore, 
in response to Wheatland's timely withdrawal, and as no other party 
requested a review, the Department is rescinding this administrative 
review.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. 
For the companies for which this review is rescinded, countervailing 
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of 
estimated countervailing 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 the date of publication of 
this notice.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final 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/destruction of APO materials or

[[Page 78888]]

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 of rescission is issued and published in accordance 
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act, as amended, 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 12, 2011.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
