SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 1, 2015, we published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
certain oil country tubular goods from Taiwan for the POR July 18, 
2014, through August 31, 2015.\1\ On November 9, 2015, in response to 
timely requests from the petitioners \2\ and Taiwanese exporters of 
subject merchandise, Shin Yang Steel Co., Ltd. (Shin Yang) and Tension 
Steel Industries Co., Ltd. (Tension Steel), and in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain oil country tubular goods from Taiwan 
with respect to two companies: Shin Yang and Tension Steel.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review, 80 FR 52741 (September 1, 2015).
    \2\ Maverick Tube Corporation; Energex Tube, a division of JMC 
Steel Group; TMK IPSCO; Vallourec Star LP; Welded Tube USA Inc.; and 
United States Steel Corporation (collectively, the petitioners).
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 69193 (November 9, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 10, 2015, Shin Yang withdrew its request for an 
administrative review.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See letter from Shin Yang to the Department, ``Oil country 
Tubular Goods from Taiwan: Withdrawal of Administrative Review 
Request'' (November 10, 2015). Shin Yang's November 10, 2015 letter 
referenced the countervailing duty proceeding. Accordingly, we 
confirmed with counsel for Shin Yang that its reference to the 
countervailing duty proceeding was inadvertent, and that its 
withdrawal request intended to reference the antidumping duty 
proceeding. See memorandum to the File dated November 19, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Administrative Review in Part

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, ``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.'' Because 
Shin Yang withdrew its review request in a timely manner, and because 
no other party requested a review of this company, we are partially 
rescinding the administrative review with respect to Shin Yang.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For Shin 
Yang, for which the 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 within 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 antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement may result in the Department'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 disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    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).

    Dated: November 24, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
