SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request 

Administrative Review’’ of the 

antidumping duty order on nonmalleable cast iron pipe fittings from the 

PRC for the above POR.1 On May 1,

Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty 

Order on Non-Malleable Cast Iron Pipe Fittings 

from the People’s Republic of China,’’ dated May 

1, 2017; see also Letter from Dalian Reliable, 

‘‘Request for Administrative Review of the 

Antidumping Duty Order on Non-Malleable Cast

China,’’ dated May 1, 2017.

Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 82 FR 

26444 (June 7, 2017) (Initiation Notice). 

4See Letter from Tianjin Star and Dalian Reliable, 

‘‘Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review 

of the Antidumping Duty Order on Non-Malleable 

Cast Iron Pipe Fittings from the People’s Republic 

of China,’’ dated July 6, 2017. 

Department received timely requests 

from Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone Star 

Pipe International Trade Co., Ltd. 

(Tianjin Star) and Dalian Reliable 

Industrial Co., Ltd. (Dalian Reliable) to 

conduct an administrative review.2

Pursuant to these requests and in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), on June 7, 2017, the 

Department published a notice of 

initiation of an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order on nonmalleable cast iron pipe fittings from the 

PRC.3 This administrative review covers 

Tianjin Star and Dalian Reliable during 

the period April 1, 2016, through March 

31, 2017. On July 6, 2017, Tianjin Star 

and Dalian Reliable withdrew their 

requests for an administrative review.4

Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 

Department will rescind an 

administrative review 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. 

Tianjin Star and Dalian Reliable 

withdrew their requests before the 90- 

day deadline, and no other party 

requested an administrative review of 

the antidumping duty order. Therefore, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this 

administrative review in its entirety. 

Assessment 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of non-malleable 

cast iron pipe fittings from the PRC. 

Antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 

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 also serves as a final 

reminder to importers for whom this 

review is being rescinded 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 the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a 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. Timely written 

notification of the return/destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

This notice is published in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: October 17, 2017.
