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.

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.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
