line, and pressure pipe from the People's Republic of China. The period 
of review is November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012. Based on the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 31, 2012, based on a timely request for review by U.S. 
Steel, 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

[[Page 33810]]

November 1, 2011, through October 31, 2012. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 77 FR 77017 (December 31, 2012) (``Initiation 
Notice''). The review covers 203 companies. See Initiation Notice. No 
other party requested a review.
    On March 27, 2013, U.S. Steel withdrew its request for an 
administrative review in its entirety.

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, U.S. Steel 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, 2011, through October 31, 2012.

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review is being rescinded of their responsibility under 19 CFR 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: May 30, 2013.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
