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.
