welded carbon quality steel pipe from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC'') for the period July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On September 2, 2015, based on a timely request for review by 
Wheatland Tube Company (``Wheatland''), the Department published in the 
Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon quality steel pipe 
from the PRC with respect to 20 companies covering the period July 1, 
2014, through June 30, 2015.\1\ On December 1, 2015, Wheatland withdrew 
its request for an administrative review of all of the companies listed 
in its review request.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 80 FR 53106 (September 2, 2015) 
(``Initiation Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, 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, 
Wheatland timely withdrew its review request by the 90-day deadline, 
and no other party requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order. As a result, we are rescinding the 
administrative review of circular welded carbon quality steel pipe from 
the PRC for the period July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Because the Department is rescinding this administrative review in its 
entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained 
shall be assessed antidumping duties that are equal to the cash 
deposits 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 the publication of 
this notice.

Notifications

Notification to Importers

    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 could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a final 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 or 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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).
