SUMMARY: On August 26, 2008, in
response to a request from Thai Benkan
Co., Ltd. (TBC), 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 Thailand for the period of
July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008.
Because the sole request for review has
been withdrawn, we are rescinding this
review.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 13, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 26, 2008, in response to a
request from TBC, a Thai 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 Thailand. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 73 FR 50308
(August 26, 2008). On January 15, 2009,
TBC withdrew its request for an
administrative review. See letter from
TBC dated January 15, 2009.
not expended significant resources in
the conduct of this review and because
we received no other requests for the
review of TBC. 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 return or 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: February 9, 2009.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.

Rescission of Review
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
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 TBC’s withdrawal letter
within the 90–day time limit, we
determine it is reasonable to accept this
letter of withdrawal because we have
