SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 2, 2021, 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 February 1, 2020, through January 31, 2021.\1\ On 
February 26, 2021, Core Pipe Products, Inc. and Taylor Forge Stainless, 
Inc. (the petitioners) timely requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order with respect to Filmag Italia, SpA (Filmag).\2\ 
This request was in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b). Commerce received no 
other requests for an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order for the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review, 86 FR 7855 (February 2, 2021).
    \2\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe 
Fittings from Italy--Petitioners' Request for 2020/2021 
Administrative Review,'' dated February 26, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 1, 2021, pursuant to section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order covering the POR with respect to Filmag.\3\ On 
April 16, 2021, the petitioners timely withdrew their request for 
administrative review with respect to Filmag.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 86 FR 17124 (April 1, 2021) (Initiation 
Notice).
    \4\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe 
Fittings from Italy--Petitioners' Withdrawal of Request for 2020/
2021 Administrative Review,'' dated April 16, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 date 
of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The 
petitioners withdrew their request for review within 90 days of the 
publication date of the Initiation Notice. No other parties requested 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order. Therefore, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding in its entirety 
the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless 
steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy covering the period February 
1, 2020, through January 31, 2021.

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 during the POR. Antidumping duties 
shall be assessed 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 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 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 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 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).
