SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 1, 2013, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register a notice of ``Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty order on light-walled 
rectangular pipe and tube (LWR pipe and tube) from Mexico for the 
period of review (POR) of August 1, 2012, through July 31, 2013.\1\ The 
Department received timely requests from two foreign producers, 
Maquilacero S.A. de C.V. (Maquilacero) and Regiomontana de Perfiles y 
Tubos S.A. de C.V. (Regiopytsa), filed in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(b), for an administrative review of their shipments during the 
POR.\2\ On September 13, 2013, Maquilacero withdrew its request for the 
administrative review.\3\ On October 2, 2013, the Department published 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on light-walled from Mexico with respect to Regiopytsa.\4\

    The Department stated in its initiation of this review that it 
intended to rely on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data to

Rescission of Review

    19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) stipulates that the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review under this section, in whole or in part, if a 
party that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of 
the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested 
review. As the only party that requested a review (Regiopytsa) withdrew 
its request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of 
initiation of the requested review, we are rescinding this review of 
the antidumping duty order on light-walled from Mexico pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1).\7\ In accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a), the 
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 41 days 
after the date of publication of this notice of rescission of 
administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Letter to the Secretary of Commerce, from Regiopytsa, 
titled ``Request to Withdraw Administrative Review,'' dated December 
11, 2013.

    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

     Dated: January 15, 2014.
