SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 8, 2016, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of ``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' 
of the antidumping duty order on OCTG from Vietnam for the period of 
September 1, 2015, through August 31, 2016.\1\ On September 30, 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 from the petitioners to conduct an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on OCTG from Vietnam manufactured or exported by 
Hoa Phat Steel Pipe Co., Ltd., Hot Rolling Pipe Co., Ltd., SeAH Steel 
Corporation, SeAH Steel VINA Corporation, and Vina One Steel 
Manufacturing.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 81 FR 62096 (September 8, 2016).
    \2\ See Letter from Maverick Tube Corporation and United States 
Steel Corporation (petitioners) to the Secretary, Re: Oil Country 
Tubular Goods from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Request for 
Administrative Review, dated September 30, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 9, 2016, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order for Hoa Phat Steel Pipe Co., Ltd., Hot Rolling 
Pipe Co., Ltd., SeAH Steel Corporation, SeAH Steel VINA Corporation, 
and Vina One Steel Manufacturing.\3\ On February 7, 2017, the

Administrative Reviews, 81 FR 78778 (November 9, 2016).
    \4\ See Letter from the petitioners to the Secretary, Re: Oil

dated February 7, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, 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. The petitioners withdrew their 
request within the 90-day deadline. No other party requested an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, in 
response to the timely withdrawal of the review request, the Department 
is rescinding in its entirety the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on OCTG from Vietnam.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
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 the publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only reminder to importers whose entries 
will be liquidated, as a result of this rescission, 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 doubled 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to the 
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/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 sanctionable violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 19, 2017.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
