SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 6, 2019, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Oman.\1\ Pursuant to 
requests from interested parties, Commerce initiated an administrative 
review with respect to four companies, in accordance with section 
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ Subsequent 
to the initiation of the administrative review, the domestic interested 
parties \3\ timely withdrew their request for an administrative review 
of three companies, as discussed below. No other party requested an 
administrative review of these companies.

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 84 FR 66880 (December 6, 2019).
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 6896 (February 6, 2020) (Initiation 
Notice).
    \3\ Collectively, the domestic interested parties are Nucor 
Tubular Products Inc., Wheatland Tube Company, and Bull Moose Tube.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation.\4\ The request for an 
administrative review was withdrawn by the established deadline for the 
following companies: Al Samna Metal Manufacturing & Trading Company 
LLC; Bollore Logistics (Oman) LLC; and Transworld Shipping Trading & 
Logistics Services LLC.\5\ As a result, Commerce is rescinding this 
review with respect to these three companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1). The review will continue with respect to Al Jazeera 
Steel Products Co. SAOG.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ On April 24, 2020, Commerce decided to toll all deadlines in 
administrative reviews by 50 days. See Memorandum, ``Tolling of 
Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews in Response to Operational Adjustments Due to COVID-19,'' 
dated April 24, 2020. Therefore, Commerce tolled the deadline for 
the withdrawal of the request for this administrative review until 
June 25, 2020.
    \5\ See Domestic Interested Parties' Letter, ``Circular Welded 
Carbon-Quality Steel Pipe from Oman: Partial Withdrawal of Request 
for Administrative Review,'' dated June 25, 2020.
    \6\ See Initiation Notice, 85 FR at 6898.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies 
for which this review is rescinded, 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)(l)(i). Commerce 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after publication of this notice.

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 the 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, which continues

[[Page 42352]]

to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. 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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: July 8, 2020.
