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.
