[[Page 30543]]

    On November 1, 2013, 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, 2012, through October 31, 
2013.\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 Golden Dragon and Nacobre. On December 30, 
2013, the Department published a notice of initiation of administrative 
review with respect to these companies.\2\

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 78 FR 65612 (Nov. 1, 2013).
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 78 FR 
79392 (Dec. 30, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 31, 2014, the petitioners withdrew their request for an 
administrative review for all five companies noted above; this 
submission was timely, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). On April 7, 
2014, Nacobre also withdrew its request for an administrative review. 
However, because this submission was received after the 90-day deadline 
for withdrawal requests, on April 8, 2014, the Department denied 
Nacobre's request as untimely.

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 the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
petitioners' request was submitted within the 90-day period and, thus, 
is timely. Because this withdrawal of request for an antidumping duty 
administrative review is timely and because no other party requested a 
review for IUSA, Luvata Juarez, and Luvata Monterrey, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this administrative review 
with respect to these companies. We are continuing the administrative 
review with respect to Golden Dragon and Nacobre because both companies 
have requested reviews on their own behalf and we did not receive a 
timely withdrawal of review request from either party.

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 Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 21, 2014.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
