of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b),

administrative review covering the period September 1, 2018, through 
August 31, 2019.\4\ On February 10, 2020, the petitioner submitted a

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested the review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. As noted 
above, the petitioner fully withdrew its review request by the 90-day 
deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order. As such, Commerce is in receipt of a timely 
request for withdrawal of this administrative review with respect to 
all companies listed in the Initiation Notices. Accordingly, we are 
rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
HWR pipes and tubes from Turkey for the period September 1, 2018, 
through August 31, 2019, in its entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of HWR pipes and 
tubes from Turkey 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 15 
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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing 
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping 
duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final 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, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. 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 the terms of an 
APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: February 21, 2020.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
