(202)482-4031. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On July 1, 2019, Commerce published in the **Federal Register** a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the *Order* for the POR. 1 In accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), on July 31, 2019, Independence Tube Corporation, a Nucor Company, and Southland Tube, Incorporated, a Nucor Company (Nucor) requested a review of the Order with respect to 121 companies. 2 On September 9, 2019, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce initiated an administrative review of the AD order on circular welded pipes from China with respect to the 121 companies named by Nucor. 3 On October 17, 2019, Nucor timely withdrew its July 31, 2019, review request for all 121 companies. 4 1 *See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review,* 84 FR 31295 (July 1, 2019) ( *Order* ). 2 *See* Nucor's letter “Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe from The People's Republic of China: Request for Administrative Review” dated July 31, 2019. 3 *See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews,* 84 FR 47242 (September 9, 2019). 4 *See* Nucor's letter “Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe from The People's Republic of China: Withdraw of Request for Administrative Review” dated October 17, 2019. 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 that requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. The petitioner withdrew its request for review within the 90-day deadline. Because Commerce received no other requests for review, we are rescinding the administrative review of the AD order on circular welded pipes from China covering the POR July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019, in full, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Assessment Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection

(CBP)to assess AD duties on all appropriate entries of circular welded pipes from China during the period July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019, at rates equal to the cash deposit rate for estimated AD 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 15 days after the date of publication of this notice in the **Federal Register** . Notification to Importers This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of AD duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the presumption that reimbursement of AD duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled AD duties. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders

(APO)of their responsibility concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 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. 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: March 17, 2020. James Maeder, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations. [FR Doc. 2020-06053 Filed 3-20-20; 8:45 am]
