Rescission of Administrative Review It is Commerce’s practice to rescind an administrative review pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3) when there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR subject to the antidumping duty order and for which liquidation is suspended.6 At the end of the administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the assessment rate computed for the review period.7 Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry to be liquidated at the newly calculated assessment rate. As discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we find that, because all of the entries associated with Bothwell’s reported sales of subject merchandise during the POR were liquidated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Bothwell had no reviewable entries during this POR.8 Accordingly, we are rescinding this review pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). Assessment Because Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, we have not calculated a company-specific dumping margin for Bothwell.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the scope of this order are carbon and

blanks or rough forgings) or finished. Such fittings are made in a 
variety of shapes including, but not limited to, elbows, tees, crosses,

content.

Rescission of Administrative Review

    It is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3) when there are no reviewable entries 
of subject merchandise during the POR subject to the antidumping duty 
order and for which liquidation is suspended.\6\ At the end of the 
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the 
assessment rate computed for the review period.\7\ Therefore, for an 
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, 
suspended entry to be liquidated at the newly calculated assessment 
rate. As discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we find that, 
because all of the entries associated with Bothwell's reported sales of 
subject merchandise during the POR were liquidated by U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP), Bothwell had no reviewable entries during this 
POR.\8\ Accordingly, we are rescinding this review pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See, e.g., Solid Fertilizer Grade Ammonium Nitrate from the 
Russian Federation: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, 77 FR 65532 (October 29, 2012).
    \7\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(l).
    \8\ To the extent that record evidence suggests that additional 
Bothwell-produced merchandise imported into the United States from 
unaffiliated parties in third countries might have been sold during 
the POR, Bothwell's statements on the record indicate that it had no 
knowledge of those sales. Commerce therefore will not review those 
sales.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment

    Because Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, we have 
not calculated a company-specific dumping margin for Bothwell.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    As noted above, Commerce is rescinding this administrative review. 
Thus, we have not calculated a company-specific dumping margin for 
Bothwell. Therefore, entries of Bothwell's subject merchandise continue 
to be subject to its company-specific cash deposit rate of 116.17 
percent. This cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Administrative Protective Order

    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 these segments of the 
proceeding. Timely written 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 terms of an APO 
is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final 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 Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 
and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).
