SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 3, 2016, the Department published a notice of 
``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the antidumping 
duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy in the 
Federal Register.\1\ The period of review covers February 1, 2015, 
through January 31, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 81 FR 5712 (February 3, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 29, 2016, in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), the 
Department received a timely request for an administrative review of 
its sales from Filmag Italia S.p.A., (Filmag), a foreign producer of 
subject merchandise in this proceeding.\2\ Filmag was the only party to 
request an administrative review. On April 7, 2016, the Department 
published a notice of initiation of the review in the Federal 
Register.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Letter from Filmag to the Department, dated February 29, 
2016.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 20324 (April 7, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    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 the notice of initiation of the requested review. Filmag, the sole 
requesting party in this review, timely withdrew its review request on 
June 30, 2016.\4\ Therefore, in response to the timely withdrawal of 
the review request, the Department is rescinding the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe 
fittings from Italy for the period February 1, 2015, through January 
31, 2016, in its entirety.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Letter from Filmag to the Department, dated June 30, 
2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of 
stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy. 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 
directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only 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 presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only 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 published in accordance with section 751 of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 5, 2016.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
