SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 1, 2020, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the AD order on OCTG from India 
covering the POR.\1\ On September 30, 2020, Maverick Tube Corporation, 
Tenaris Bay City, Inc., IPSCO Tubulars Inc., and the United States 
Steel Corporation (collectively, Domestic Interested Parties), timely 
requested an administrative review of the AD order with respect to four 
companies: Jindal SAW Limited; GVN Fuels Limited; Maharashtra Seamless 
Limited; and Jindal Pipe Limited.\2\ Commerce received no other 
requests for an administrative review of the AD order for the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 85 FR 54349 (September 1, 2020).
    \2\ See Domestic Interested Parties' Letter, ``Oil Country 
Tubular Goods from India: Request for Administrative Review,'' dated 
September 30, 2020.

    On October 30, 2020, pursuant to section 751(a) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 parties that 
requested the review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the 
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
The Domestic Interested Parties withdrew their request for review 
within 90 days of the publication of the Initiation Notice, and no 
other party requested an administrative review of the AD order for the 
POR. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is 
rescinding the administrative review of the AD order on OCTG from India 
for the POR covering September 1, 2019, through August 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 OCTG from India 
during the POR at rates equal to the cash deposit rate 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 no 
earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this rescission 
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

[[Page 19222]]

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 and/or 
countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to 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(a)(3). 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 the 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: April 6, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
