SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On October 7, 2019, based on a timely request for review of four 
companies by United States Steel Corporation (the petitioner),\1\ 
Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on small diameter 
seamless pipe from Romania covering the period August 1, 2018, through 
July 31, 2019.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See the Petitioner's Letter, ``Carbon and Alloy Seamless 
Standard Line, and Pressure Pipe (Under 4.5 Inches) from Romania: 
Request for Administrative Review,'' dated August 30, 2019.
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 53411 (October 7, 2019) (Initiation 
Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 15, 2019, the petitioner withdrew its request for 
administrative review of SC TMK-Artrom S.A. (TMK-Artrom) \3\ and SC 
Tubinox S.A. (Tubinox).\4\ No other interested parties requested an 
administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The partial withdrawal of request for administration review 
listed this company as SC TMK-Artom S.A. However, the correct 
spelling of the company name for which a review was initiated is SC 
TMK-Artrom S.A.
    \4\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Carbon and Alloy Seamless 
Standard Line, and Pressure Pipe (Under 4.5 Inches) from Romania: 
Partial Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review of 
Antidumping Duty Order,'' dated October 15, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial 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 that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review.
    Because the petitioner's request for administrative review of TMK-
Artrom and Tubinox was withdrawn within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the Initiation Notice, and no other interested party 
requested a review of these companies, Commerce is rescinding this 
review with respect to TMK-Artrom and Tubinox, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1). The administrative review remains active with 
respect to the two remaining companies for which a review was 
initiated, i.e., ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Roman S.A. and Silcotub 
S.A.

Assessment

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to 
the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time 
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the 
period August 1, 2018, through July 31, 2019, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register, if appropriate.

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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding 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(a)(3), which 
continues 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.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 28, 2019.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
