SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion 

Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862) authorizes 

the Secretary of Commerce (‘‘the 

Secretary’’) to conduct comprehensive 

investigations to determine the effects of 

imports of any article on the national 

security of the United States. 

On March 8, 2018, President Trump 

issued Proclamations 9704 and 9705, 

imposing duties on imports of 

aluminum and steel, and authorizing 

the Secretary to grant exclusions from 

the duties ‘‘if the Secretary determines 

the steel or aluminum article for which 

the exclusion is requested is not 

produced in the United States in a 

sufficient and reasonably available 

amount or of a satisfactory quality or 

should be excluded based upon specific 

national security considerations.’’ The 

President further directed that the 

Secretary issue procedures for 

requesting such exclusions within ten 

days of the issuance of these 

Proclamations. 

The purpose of this information 

collection is to allow for submission of 

objections to the exclusions requests 

from the remedies instituted in 

presidential proclamations adjusting 

imports of steel into the United States 

and adjusting imports of aluminum into 

the United States. The information 

submitted is evaluated and used by 

BIS’s Office of Strategic Industries and 

Economic Security (OSIES) to make a 

recommendation to the Secretary or 

their designee(s) regarding the 

favorability of each Exclusion Request, 

taking into account any national 

security considerations as well as any 

received Objections, Rebuttals, and/or 

Surrebuttals. The Secretary or their 

designee(s) will also consider 

information provided by other agencies 

or senior executive branch officials 

including recommendations from the 

Department’s International Trade 

Administration (ITA) based on their 

review of Exclusion Requests receiving 

Objections.

Ltd.; and Thai Oil Pipe Co., Ltd.2 We 

received no other requests of review. 

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. 

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. 

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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

filed a request for an expedited CVD 

changed circumstances review (CCR).2

In its CCR Request, TRAPA reported 

that effective April 8, 2024, TransPacific changed its name to TRAPA, and 

thus, requested Commerce to conduct a 

CCR to determine that TRAPA is the SII 

to Trans-Pacific and assign to TRAPA 

the cash deposit rate of Trans-Pacific. 

On July 29, 2024, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register its notice of 

initiation of a CVD CCR for TRAPA.3
