Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party or parties
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review.
As noted above, the Domestic Interested Parties withdrew their request
for review of all companies within 90 days of the publication date of
the notice of initiation. No other parties requested an administrative
review of the CVD order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR

Assessment

assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of OCTG from
Turkey. Countervailing duties 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 to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

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/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.

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
