SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 3, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD
order on OCTG from China.\1\ Commerce received a timely request for
review of the Order from a U.S. importer of subject merchandise, Copley
International Group Co. Limited and Lixin Energy Group (HK) Co., Ltd.
(CI/LE), requesting a review of Petroleum Equipment (Thailand) Co.,
[[Page 8697]]
Ltd.; and Thai Oil Pipe Co., Ltd.\2\ We received no other requests of
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review and Joint Annual Inquiry Service List, 89 FR 35778, 35780
(May 2, 2024); see also Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from the
People's Republic of China: Amended Final Determination of Sales at
Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 75 FR 28551 (May
21, 2010) (Order).
\2\ See CI/LE's Letter, ``Request for Administrative Review of
Antidumping Duty Order and Request for Deferral,'' dated May 31,
2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 5, 2024, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods from China,
covering the period from May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).\3\ This review covers subject
merchandise exported and/or produced by the following two companies:
(1) Petroleum Equipment (Thailand) Co., Ltd.; and (2) Thai Oil Pipe
Co., Ltd.\4\ On May 10, 2024, we placed on the record U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) data for entries of OCTG from China during the
POR, showing no reviewable POR entries for any company listed in the
Initiation Notice.\5\ We invited interested parties to comment, and
received no comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 89 FR 55567 (July 5, 2024).
\4\ Id., 89 FR at 55574.
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Release of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection Import Data,'' dated July 10, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 23, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of its
intent to rescind the instant review because there were no suspended
entries of subject merchandise by any of the companies subject to this
review during the POR, and we invited interested partes to comment.\6\
We did not receive any comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,''
dated August 23, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no
entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is
suspended.\7\ Normally, upon completion of an administrative review,
the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate
calculated for the review period.\8\ Therefore, for an administrative
review to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry that Commerce
can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for
the review period.\9\ As noted above, there were no suspended entries
of subject merchandise for the companies subject to this review during
the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this
administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See, e.g., Dioctyl Terephthalate from the Republic of Korea:
Rescission of Antidumping Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 88 FR
24758 (April 24, 2023); see also Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-
to-Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Recission of
Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4154 (January

\8\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this
administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly,
the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of OCTG from China. AD duties shall be assessed at
rates equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated AD 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 rescission notice in the Federal
Register.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an 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 the APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with regulations and terms of an APO is a violation, which is
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: January 24, 2025.
