Background

    On December 1, 2016, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of ``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' 
of the antidumping duty order on welded line pipe from Turkey for the 
period May 22, 2015, through November 30, 2016.\1\ In December 2016 and 
January 2017, the Department received timely requests, in accordance 
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), to 
conduct an administrative review of this antidumping duty order from 
Maverick Tube Corporation (Maverick), Stupp Corporation, a division of 
Stupp Bros., Inc. (Stupp Corp.), and American Cast Iron Pipe Company 
(ACIPCO) (collectively, the petitioners), and from Borusan Mannesmann 
Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret (collectively, 
Borusan).\2\ Based upon these requests, on February 13, 2017, in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Act, the Department published in 
the Federal Register a notice of initiation listing nineteen companies 
for which the Department received timely requests for review.\3\ On 
March 3 and May 9, 2017, Borusan and the petitioners, respectively, 
withdrew all requests for an administrative review.\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. All the 
aforementioned withdrawal requests were timely submitted, and no other 
interested party requested an administrative review of any company. 
Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on welded line pipe from Turkey covering the 
period May 22, 2015, through November 30, 2016.

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 publication of this notice 
in the Federal Register.

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 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 return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 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 751 
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 24, 2017.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
