SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 6, 2019, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Oman.\1\ Pursuant to
requests from interested parties, Commerce initiated an administrative
review with respect to four companies, in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).\2\ Subsequent
to the initiation of the administrative review, the domestic interested
parties \3\ timely withdrew their request for an administrative review
of three companies, as discussed below. No other party requested an
administrative review of these companies.

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review, 84 FR 66880 (December 6, 2019).
\2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 6896 (February 6, 2020) (Initiation
Notice).
\3\ Collectively, the domestic interested parties are Nucor
Tubular Products Inc., Wheatland Tube Company, and Bull Moose Tube.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested
a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation.\4\ The request for an
administrative review was withdrawn by the established deadline for the
following companies: Al Samna Metal Manufacturing & Trading Company
LLC; Bollore Logistics (Oman) LLC; and Transworld Shipping Trading &
Logistics Services LLC.\5\ As a result, Commerce is rescinding this
review with respect to these three companies, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1). The review will continue with respect to Al Jazeera
Steel Products Co. SAOG.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ On April 24, 2020, Commerce decided to toll all deadlines in
administrative reviews by 50 days. See Memorandum, ``Tolling of
Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews in Response to Operational Adjustments Due to COVID-19,''
dated April 24, 2020. Therefore, Commerce tolled the deadline for
the withdrawal of the request for this administrative review until
June 25, 2020.
\5\ See Domestic Interested Parties' Letter, ``Circular Welded
Carbon-Quality Steel Pipe from Oman: Partial Withdrawal of Request
for Administrative Review,'' dated June 25, 2020.
\6\ See Initiation Notice, 85 FR at 6898.

Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
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)(l)(i). Commerce
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after publication of this notice.
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 the 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
[[Page 42352]]
to govern business proprietary information in this segment 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 violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: July 8, 2020.
