Background
On November 1, 2018, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
seamless refined copper pipe and tube from Mexico for the period of
review (POR) November 1, 2017, through October 31, 2018.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 83 FR 54912 (November 1, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 30, 2018, the Mueller Copper Tube Products, Inc. and
Mueller Copper Tube Company, Inc., the petitioners in this proceeding,
requested an administrative review of the order of seamless refined
copper pipe and tube from Mexico with respect to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR.\2\ On February 6, 2019, in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19
CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the
order on seamless refined copper pipe and tube from Mexico with respect
to: (1) Nacional de Cobre, S.A. de C.V.; (2) IUSA, S.A. de C.V.; and
(3) GD Affiliates S. de R.L. de C.V.\3\ On March 27, 2019, the
petitioners withdrew their request for an administrative review of all
three companies listed in the Initiation Notice.\4\ No other party
requested an administrative review of this order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See the petitioner's submission, ``Seamless Refined Copper
Pipe and Tube from Mexico: Request for Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review,'' dated November 30, 2018.
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 2159 (February 6, 2019) (Initiation
Notice).
\4\ See the petitioner's submission, ``Seamless Refined Copper
Pipe and Tube from Mexico: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated March 27, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 its request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In
this case, the petitioners timely withdrew their request by the 90-day
deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on seamless refined copper pipe
and tube from Mexico for the period November 1, 2017, through October
31, 2018, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of
seamless refined copper pipe and tube from Mexico during the POR 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). Commerce
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 41 days
after the publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of the 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 terms of an APO is a violation which
is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: April 2, 2019.
James Maeder,
Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Operations performing the duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations.
