(202)482-1785; AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230. Background On January 3, 2011, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published a notice announcing the opportunity to request an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain oil country tubular goods (“OCTG”) from the People's Republic of China (“PRC”). *See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review,* 76 FR 90 (January 3, 2011). On January 31, 2011, United States Steel Corporation and Maverick Tube Corporation (collectively, “Petitioners”), domestic producers of OCTG, timely requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of 243 producers and/or exporters of the subject merchandise covering the period of January 20, 2010, through December 31, 2010. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department published a notice initiating this administrative review. *See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part,* 76 FR 10329 (February 24, 2011). Rescission of Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(l), the Secretary will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On May 25, 2011, Petitioners withdrew their request for review of all 243 exporters and producers within the 90-day period. Therefore, in response to Petitioners' timely withdrawal request, and as no other party requested a review, the Department is rescinding this administrative review. Assessment The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies for which this review is rescinded, the countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal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). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of this notice of rescission of administrative review. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice serves as a final 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/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. This notice of rescission is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Tariff Act, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). Dated: June 27, 2011. Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations. [FR Doc. 2011-16752 Filed 7-1-11; 8:45 am]
