administrative review of the remaining 23 companies.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, 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 countervailing 
duty order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of 
circular welded carbon quality steel pipe from the PRC covering the 
period January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2011.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess countervailing duties on all entries of circular 
welded carbon quality steel pipe from the PRC during the POR 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 
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 countervailing duties prior to 
liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
    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 sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
