Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party or parties 
that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the 
publication date of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
As noted above, the Domestic Interested Parties withdrew their request 
for review of all companies within 90 days of the publication date of 
the notice of initiation. No other parties requested an administrative 
review of the CVD order. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this administrative review in its 
entirety.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of OCTG from 
Turkey. Countervailing duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the 
cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of 
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate 
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date 
of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

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 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.

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
