SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 1, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``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 People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation: Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 71 FR
69543 (December 1, 2006). On December 15, 2006, Beijing Sai Lin Ke
Hardware Co., Ltd. (``SLK'') requested that the Department conduct a
review of its sales and entries of subject merchandise into the United
States. On January 3, 2007, Mueller Comercial de M[eacute]xico, D. de
R.L. de C.V. (``Mueller'') requested that the Department conduct an
administrative review of its sales and entries of subject merchandise
into the United States. On January 4, 2007, SLK withdrew its request
for review. On January 31, 2007, Mueller withdrew its request for an
administrative review.\1\ No other parties requested a review. On
February 2, 2007, the Department published the Initiation Notice
covering Mueller, and issued an antidumping duty questionnaire to
Mueller for the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
malleable cast iron pipe fittings from the PRC with respect to Mueller
for the period December 1, 2005, through November 30, 2006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Although Mueller submitted its withdrawal of its request for
review before the Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 72 FR
5005 (February 2, 2007) (``Initiation Notice''), published in the
Federal Register, Mueller's withdrawal was submitted after the
Initiation Notice had been transmitted to the Federal Register for
publication.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
The Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide that
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested
review, or withdraws its request at a later date if the Department
determines that it is reasonable to extend the time limit for
withdrawing the request. Mueller timely withdrew its request before the
90-day deadline. Therefore, we are rescinding this review of the
antidumping duty order on malleable cast iron pipe fittings from the
PRC covering the period December 1, 2005, through November 30, 2006.
The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection 15 days after of publication of this rescission.
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (``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 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 section
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4).
Dated: February 27, 2007.
