    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 77 FR 
52688, 52690 (August 30, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 7, 2012, LDR withdrew its request for an 
administrative review of Xuzhou Global Pipe & Fitting Manufacturing 
Co., Ltd. On November 28, 2012, Wheatland withdrew its request for an 
administrative review of the remaining 26 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. In this case, LDR and Wheatland 
withdrew their requests within the 90-day deadline and no other parties 
requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. 
Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of circular 
welded carbon quality steel pipe from the PRC for the period July 1, 
2011, through June 30, 2012.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Because the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its 
entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained 
shall be assessed antidumping duties 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). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of this notice.

Notifications

    This notice serves as a final 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 Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a final 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: January 17, 2013.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
