Background

    On May 1, 2020, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice 
of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD order on 
welded structural pipe from Turkey for the POR.\1\ On June 1, 2020, 
Commerce received a timely request from American Cast Iron Pipe 
Company; Berg Steel Pipe Corp.; Berg Spiral Pipe Corp.; Dura-Bond 
Industries; Stupp Corporation; and Welspun Global Trade LLC; 
individually and as members of the American Line Pipe Producers 
Association; Greens Bayou Pipe Mill, LP; JS W Steel (USA) Inc.; Skyline 
Steel; and Trinity Products LLC (collectively, the petitioners), in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), to conduct an administrative review 
of this CVD order for 16 companies.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 85 FR 25394 (May 1, 2020).
    \2\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Large Diameter Welded Pipe from 
Turkey: Request for Administrative Review,'' dated June 1, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 10, 2020, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation with respect to these companies.\3\ On October 7, 
2020, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for an 
administrative review for all 16 companies.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 41540 (July 10, 2020).
    \4\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Large Diameter Welded Pipe from 
the Republic of Turkey: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative 
Review,'' dated October 7, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. As noted 
above, the petitioners withdrew their request for review by the 90-day 
deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of this 
order. Therefore, we are rescinding the administrative review of the 
CVD order on welded structural pipe from Turkey covering the POR in its 
entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. Because 
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, the 
entries to which this administrative review pertained shall be assessed 
at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing 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 directly to CBP 15 
days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice serves as the only 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(a)(3). Timely 
written notification of the

[[Page 69314]]

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 sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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: October 27, 2020.
