SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 3, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy. 1 Commerce received a timely request for review of the Order from Core Pipe Products, Inc. (the petitioner). 2 We received no other requests for review.

[top] On March 28, 2025, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the Order covering the period from February 1, 2024, through January 31, 2025, 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 On March 27, 2025, the petitioner withdrew its request for review with respect to Tectubi Raccordi SpA (including its affiliates, Raccordi Forgiati S.r.l. and Allied International S.r.l.); however, the initiation notice

On April 3, 2025, we placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for entries of stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy during the POR, showing no reviewable POR entries. 6 We invited interested parties to comment, and received no comments. Also on April 3, 2025, Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to rescind the administrative review because there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise made by the one company subject to this administrative review, Filmag Italia, SpA, and invited interested partes to comment. 7 Commerce did not receive comments from any interested parties on its notice of intent to rescind the administrative review with respect to the sole remaining company subject to this administrative review, Filmag Italia, SpA.

Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. Commerce received a request from the petitioner for an administrative review of: (1) Filmag Italia, SpA (Filmag) and (2) Tectubi Raccordi SpA (including its affiliates, Raccordi Forgiati S.r.l. and Allied International S.r.l.). 8 The petitioner withdrew its request for review with respect to Tectubi Raccordi SpA (including its affiliates, Raccordi Forgiati S.r.l. and Allied International S.r.l.). 9 Because the request for review was timely withdrawn for Tectubi Raccordi SpA (including its affiliates, Raccordi Forgiati S.r.l. and Allied International S.r.l.), and because no other party requested a review of Tectubi Raccordi SpA (including its affiliates, Raccordi Forgiati S.r.l. and Allied International S.r.l.) in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this review for Tectubi Raccordi SpA (including its affiliates, Raccordi Forgiati S.r.l. and Allied International S.r.l.).

Further, 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. 10 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review period. 11 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. 12 As noted above, there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise for Filmag Italia, SpA 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).

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 .

Timely written notification of the return or destruction of the APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested.
