SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 30, 2011, based on a timely request for review by the 
United States Steel Corporation, the Department published in the 
Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, 
line, and pressure pipe from the People's Republic of China covering 
the period November 10, 2010, through October 31, 2011. See Initiation 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and 
Request for Revocation in Part, 76 FR 82268 (December 30, 2011). The 
review covers 32 companies: Anhui Tianda Oil Pipe; Baoshan Iron & Steel 
Co., Ltd.; Beijing Sai Lin Ke Hardware Co., Ltd.; Hengyang Steel Tube 
Group Int'l Trading Inc.; Hengyang Valin MPM Tube Co., Ltd.; Hengyang 
Valin Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; Hunan Valin Iron & Steel Group Co., Ltd.; 
Hunan Valin Steel Co., Ltd.; Hunan Valin Xiangtan Iron & Steel Co., 
Ltd.; Jiangsu Changbao Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Chengde Steel Tube 
Share Company; Jiangsu Xigang Group Co., Ltd.; Jiangyin City Changjiang 
Steel Pipe Co., Ltd.; LDR Industries, Inc.; Pangang Group Chengdu Iron 
& Steel Co.; Shandong HuaBao Steel Pipe; Shandong Luxing Steel Pipe; 
Shanghai Tianyang Steel Tube; Tianguan Yuantong Pipe Product Co., Ltd.; 
Tianjin Pipe (Group) Corporation; Tianjin Pipe International Economic & 
Trading Corp.; Tianjin Pipe Iron Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; TPCO Charging 
Development Co., Ltd.; Wuxi Resources Steel Making Co., Ltd.; Wuxi 
Seamless Special Pipe Co., Ltd.; Wuxi Sifang Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; Wuxi 
Zhenda Special Steel Tube Manufacturing; Xigang Seamless Steel Tube; 
Xuzhou Global Pipe and Fitting Mfg.; Yangzhou Chengde Steel Tube Co., 
Ltd.; Yangzhou Lontrin Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; and Yantai Lubao Steel 
Tube. No other party requested a review.
    On March 29, 2012, and amended on April 3, 2012, the United States 
Steel Corporation withdrew its request for an administrative review of 
the 32 companies.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review if the party that requested the review withdraws 
its request within 90 days of the publication of the notice of 
initiation of the requested review, or withdraws at a later date if the 
Department exercises its discretion to extend the time limit for 
withdrawing the request. In this case, the United States Steel 
Corporation withdrew its request within the 90-day deadline and no 
other party requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of 
seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from 
the People's Republic of China for the period November 1, 2010, through 
October 31, 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 
or bonding rate 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.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers for whom this 
review is being rescinded 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 the 
antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.
    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, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. 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 violation which is subject to sanction.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: July 19, 2012.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
