Background
On November 3, 2014, the Department
of Commerce (Department) published a
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on seamless
refined copper pipe and tube from
Mexico covering the period November
1, 2013, through October 31, 2014.1 The
Department received a timely request
for an antidumping duty administrative
review from the petitioners (i.e., Cerro
Flow Products, LLC; Wieland Copper
Products, LLC; Mueller Copper Tube
Products, Inc.; and Mueller Copper
Tube Company, Inc.) for the following
companies: (1) GD Affiliates S. de R.L.
de C.V. (Golden Dragon); (2) IUSA, S.A.
de C.V. (IUSA); and (3) Nacional de
Cobre, S.A. de C.V. (Nacobre). The
Department also received timely
requests for an antidumping duty
administrative review from Golden
Dragon, IUSA, and Nacobre. On
December 23, 2013, the Department
published a notice of initiation of
administrative review with respect to
these companies.2
On January 27, 2015, March 17, 2015,
and March 19, 2015, IUSA, Golden
Dragon, and Nacobre, respectively,
withdrew their requests for an
administrative review. On March 23,
2015, the petitioners withdrew their
request for an administrative review for
IUSA and Nacobre. All of these
submissions were timely, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Rescission, In Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if a party
that requested the review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. In this case, all
requests were submitted within the 90day period and, thus, are timely.
Because these withdrawals of requests
for an antidumping duty administrative
review are timely, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding
this administrative review with respect
to IUSA and Nacobre. However, we are
continuing the administrative review
with respect to Golden Dragon because
the petitioners have requested a review
of this company, and we did not receive
a timely withdrawal of review request
from the petitioners with respect to it.
Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
To Request Administrative Review, 79 FR 65176
(November 3, 2014).

assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. For the companies
for which this review is rescinded,
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
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 return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. 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 issued and published in
accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: March 27, 2015.
