SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 3, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD 
order on OCTG from China.\1\ Commerce received a timely request for 
review of the Order from a U.S. importer of subject merchandise, Copley 
International Group Co. Limited and Lixin Energy Group (HK) Co., Ltd. 
(CI/LE), requesting a review of Petroleum Equipment (Thailand) Co.,

Ltd.; and Thai Oil Pipe Co., Ltd.\2\ We received no other requests of 
review.

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative 
Review and Joint Annual Inquiry Service List, 89 FR 35778, 35780 
(May 2, 2024); see also Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from the 
People's Republic of China: Amended Final Determination of Sales at

Antidumping Duty Order and Request for Deferral,'' dated May 31,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 5, 2024, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods from China, 
covering the period from May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024, in 
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).\3\ This review covers subject 
merchandise exported and/or produced by the following two companies: 
(1) Petroleum Equipment (Thailand) Co., Ltd.; and (2) Thai Oil Pipe 
Co., Ltd.\4\ On May 10, 2024, we placed on the record U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) data for entries of OCTG from China during the 
POR, showing no reviewable POR entries for any company listed in the 
Initiation Notice.\5\ We invited interested parties to comment, and 
received no comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 89 FR 55567 (July 5, 2024).
    \4\ Id., 89 FR at 55574.
    \5\ See Memorandum, ``Release of U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection Import Data,'' dated July 10, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 23, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of its 
intent to rescind the instant review because there were no suspended 
entries of subject merchandise by any of the companies subject to this 
review during the POR, and we invited interested partes to comment.\6\ 
We did not receive any comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,'' 
dated August 23, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to 
rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no 
entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is 
suspended.\7\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, 
the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate 
calculated for the review period.\8\ Therefore, for an administrative 
review to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry that Commerce 
can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for 
the review period.\9\ As noted above, there were no suspended entries 
of subject merchandise for the companies subject to this review during 
the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this 
administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this 
administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly, 
the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries of OCTG from China. AD duties shall be assessed at 
rates equal to the cash deposit rate of 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 no earlier than 35 days 
after the date of publication of this rescission notice in the Federal 
Register.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an APO 
of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction 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 the APO materials, or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with regulations and terms of an APO is a violation, which is 
subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: January 24, 2025.
