Background:

    On November 5, 2012, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on seamless refined copper pipe and tube 
from Mexico covering the period November 1, 2011, through October 31, 
2012.\1\ The Department received a timely request for an antidumping 
duty administrative review from the petitioners (i.e., Cerro Flow 
Products, LLC; Wieland Copper Products, LLC; Mueller Copper Tube 
Products, Inc.; and Mueller Copper Tube Company, Inc.) for the 
following companies: 1) GD Affiliates S. de R.L. de C.V. (Golden 
Dragon); 2) IUSA, S.A. de C.V. (IUSA); 3) Luvata Juarez S. de R.L. de 
C.V. (Luvata Juarez); 4) Luvata Monterrey S. de R.L. de C.V. (Luvata 
Monterrey); and 5) Nacional de Cobre, S.A. de C.V. (Nacobre). The 
Department also received timely requests for an antidumping duty 
administrative review from the following interested parties as defined 
by section 771(9)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): 
(1) Golden Dragon; (2) Luvata Monterrey; and (3) Nacobre. On December 
31, 2012, the Department published a notice of initiation of 
administrative review with respect to these companies.\2\ On January 
14, 2013, the petitioners withdrew their request for an administrative 
review for IUSA, Luvata Juarez, and Luvata Monterrey. On March 5, 2013, 
Luvata Monterrey withdrew its own request for an administrative review.

Rescission, In Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
petitioners' and Luvata Monterrey's requests were submitted within the 
90-day period and, thus, are timely. Since these withdrawals of request 
for an antidumping duty administrative review are timely and because no 
other party requested a review of these companies, in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this administrative review with 
respect to IUSA, Luvata Juarez, and Luvata Monterrey. We note that we 
are continuing the administrative review with respect to Golden Dragon 
and Nacobre.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the 
companies for which this review is rescinded antidumping duties shall 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 to CBP 15 days 
after publication of this notice.

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 doubled 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, 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 Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 9, 2013.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
