Background
On February 3, 2020, Commerce published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain cold-drawn mechanical tubing from India.[1] Pursuant to requests from interested parties, Commerce initiated an administrative review with respect to 16 companies, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, Start Printed Page 39530as amended (the Act).[2] Subsequent to the initiation of the administrative review, the petitioners [3] timely withdrew their request for an administrative review of 13 companies, as discussed below. No other party requested an administrative review of these companies.
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.

Notification To Importers
