cast iron pipe fittings from the People’s
Republic of China (PRC) for four
companies. The Department previously
rescinded this review with respect to
two of the four companies. Based on
timely withdrawal of requests for
review, we are rescinding this
administrative review with respect to
the remaining two companies, Beijing
Sai Lin Ke Hardware Co. Ltd. (SLK) and
LDR Industries Inc (LDR).

Background
On December 1, 2016, the Department
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on malleable
cast iron pipe fittings from the PRC for
the December 1, 2015, through
November 30, 2016, period of review
(POR).1 On January 3, 2017, the
Department received from Anvil
International, LLC (the petitioner) a
timely request to conduct an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on malleable
cast iron pipe fittings from the PRC for
four producers and/or exporters of the
subject merchandise.2 Based on this
1 See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order,
Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 81 FR 86694
(December 1, 2016).

request, on February 13, 2017, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
the Department published in the
Federal Register a notice of initiation of
an administrative review covering the
period December 1, 2015, through
November 30, 2016, with respect to four
companies: SLK, LDR, Jinan Meide
Casting Co., Ltd. (JMC), and Langfang
Pannext Pipe Fitting Co., Ltd.
(Pannext).3 Based on a timely
withdrawal of requests for review, the
Department previously rescinded the
review, in part, with respect to Pannext
and JMC.4 On April 27, 2017, the
petitioner timely withdrew its request
for an antidumping duty administrative
review of the two remaining companies
covered by the Initiation Notice, SLK
and LDR.5
Rescission
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if a party
who requested a review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. Anvil timely
withdrew its request for an
administrative review of SLK and LDR
within the 90-day deadline. No other
party requested a review of these
companies. Accordingly, we are
rescinding this review with respect to
these companies, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1). Further, as a result of the
rescission with respect to SLK and LDR
and the prior rescission with respect to
Pannext and JMC, this review is now
rescinded in its entirety.
Assessment
Because the Department is rescinding
this administrative review in its
entirety, the Department will instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to assess antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries of 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
China: Request for Administrative Review,’’ dated
January 3, 2017.

Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 82 FR

Rescission of the Antidumping Duty Administrative

2017) (Partial Rescission Notice).

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
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
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice serves as a final reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under an 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 sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).
Dated: May 24, 2017.
