Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY
: The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) is rescinding the
administrative review of the
countervailing duty (CVD) order on
large diameter welded carbon and alloy
steel structural pipe (welded structural
pipe) from the Republic of Turkey
(Turkey) for the period of review (POR)
June 29, 2018, through December 31,
2019.
DATES
: Applicable November 2, 2020.

Constitution Avenue NW, Washington,
DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–1993.
Background
On May 1, 2020, Commerce published
in the Federal Register a notice of
opportunity to request an administrative
review of the CVD order on welded
structural pipe from Turkey for the
POR.
1
On June 1, 2020, Commerce
received a timely request from
American Cast Iron Pipe Company; Berg
Steel Pipe Corp.; Berg Spiral Pipe Corp.;
Dura-Bond Industries; Stupp
Corporation; and Welspun Global Trade
LLC; individually and as members of
the American Line Pipe Producers
Association; Greens Bayou Pipe Mill,
LP; JS W Steel (USA) Inc.; Skyline Steel;
and Trinity Products LLC (collectively,
the petitioners), in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.213(b), to conduct an administrative
review of this CVD order for 16
companies.
2
On July 10, 2020, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation with respect to these
companies.
3
On October 7, 2020, the
petitioners timely withdrew their
request for an administrative review for
all 16 companies.
4
Rescission of 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 a
review withdraw the request within 90
days of the date of publication of notice
of initiation of the requested review. As
noted above, the petitioners withdrew
their request for review by the 90-day
deadline, and no other party requested
an administrative review of this order.
Therefore, we are rescinding the
administrative review of the CVD order
on welded structural pipe from Turkey
covering the POR in its entirety.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries. Because Commerce is
rescinding this administrative review in
its entirety, the entries to which this
administrative review pertained 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). Commerce intends
to issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
