SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 3, 2020, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from 
Italy for the period of review covering February 1, 2019, through 
January 31, 2020.\1\ On February 28, 2020, Core Pipe Products, Inc., 
and Taylor Forge Stainless Inc. (the petitioners) filed a timely 
request for review, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b).\2\ Pursuant to 
this request and in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of Filmag 
Italia, SpA.\3\ On July 6, 2020, the petitioners filed a timely 
withdrawal of request for the administrative review.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 85 FR 5938 (February 3, 2020).
    \2\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe 
Fittings from Italy: Petitioners' Request for 2019/2020 
Administrative Review,'' dated February 28, 2020.
    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 19730 (April 8, 2020).
    \4\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe 
Fittings from Italy: Petitioners' Withdrawal of Review Request for 
2019/2020 Administrative Review,'' dated July 6, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. As 
noted above, the petitioners, the only party to file a request for 
review, withdrew the sole review request within the 90-day deadline. 
Accordingly, we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from 
Italy covering February 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020, in its 
entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of stainless steel 
butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy. 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). Commerce 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after the date of 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 Commerce'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 all 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. 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 sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
