from Japan: Rescission of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On March 24, 2009, in 

response to a request from Benex 

Corporation (Benex), the Department of 

Commerce (the Department) published a 

notice of initiation of the administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on certain carbon steel butt–weld pipe 

fittings from Japan for the period 

February 1, 2008, through January 31, 

2009. Because the sole request for 

review has been withdrawn, we are 

rescinding this review. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 10, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Thomas 

Schauer, AD/CVD Operations, Office 5, 

Import Administration, International 

Trade Administration, U.S. Department 

of Commerce, 14th Street and 

Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, 

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–0410. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 24, 2009, in response to a 

request from Benex, a Japanese producer 

of the subject merchandise, the 

Department published a notice of 

initiation of administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

carbon steel butt–weld pipe fittings 

from Japan. See Initiation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Administrative Reviews and Requests 

for Revocation in Part, 74 FR 12310 

(March 24, 2009). On June 29, 2009, 

Benex withdrew its request for an 

administrative review. See letter from 

Benex dated June 29, 2009. 

Rescission of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), the Department will 

rescind an administrative review ‘‘if a 

party that requested the review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of notice of 

initiation of the requested review. The 

Secretary may extend this time limit if 

the Secretary decides that it is 

reasonable to do so.’’ Although we did 

not receive Benex’s withdrawal letter 

within the 90–day time limit, we 

determine that it is reasonable to accept 

this letter of withdrawal because we 

have not expended significant resources 

in the conduct of this review and 

because we received no other requests 

for the review of Benex. Accordingly, 

the Department is rescinding this review 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). The 

Department intends to issue appropriate 

assessment instructions to U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection 15 days after the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a 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 the 

Secretary’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 

notification of the 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. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

rescission in accordance with section 

777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: August 3, 2009.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Operations.

Withdrawal of Application for DutyFree Entry of Scientific Instruments 

Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the 

Educational, Scientific and Cultural 

Materials Importation Act of 1966 (Pub. 

L. 89–651; as amended by Pub. L. 106– 

36; 80 Stat. 897; 15 CFR part 301), the 

Department of Commerce determines 

whether instruments of equivalent 

scientific value, for the purposes for 

which the instruments shown below are 

intended to be used, are being 

manufactured in the United States. 

Applications may be examined 

between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. in Room 

2104, Statutory Import Programs Staff, 

U.S. Department of Commerce 14th and 

Constitution Ave., NW., Room 2104 

Washington, DC 20230. 

Docket Number: 09–041. Applicant: 

State University of New York College at 

Geneseo, Erwin Hall 218, 1 College 

Circle, Geneseo, NY 14454. Instrument: 

4.5 Model Astrodome. Manufacturer: 

Astro Dome, Australia. Intended Use: 

The instrument will be used to house a 

telescope and CCD. Application 

accepted by Commissioner of Customs 

and Border Protection: June 26, 2008. 

The Department of Commerce 

received the Rice University application 

from Customs and Border Protection on 

July 13, 2009. The application was 

reviewed and the Department 

determined that the application did not 

have sufficient information for the 

Department to determine whether an 

equivalent instrument was being 

produced in the United States. In 

accordance with section 301.5(a)(2), the 

Department contacted the University to 

afford them an opportunity to 

supplement the application by 

providing further information regarding 

the purpose of the instrument and 

whether an equivalent instrument was 

being produced in the United States. 

The State University of New York 

College at Geneseo then informed the 

Department that they had discovered 

that cost and design features were the 

determining factors in selecting the 

instrument. The University decided to 

withdraw the application for the Model 

Astrodome since they had been made 

aware that neither of these factors could 

be considered a pertinent specification 

in the comparison of instruments, in 

accordance with section 301.2(s). 

Therefore, the Department of 

Commerce had discontinued the 

processing of this application, in 

accordance with section 301.5(g) of the 

regulations. See 15 CFR 301.5(g). 

Dated: August 4, 2009.
