The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has announced the rescission of the antidumping (AD) duty administrative review of certain large diameter (LD) carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe from Japan.

Following the receipt of a certification of no shipments during the period of review from all four respondents, the DOC notified the domestic interested parties of the DOC's intent to rescind this review on May 28, 2009, and provided an opportunity to comment on the rescission until June 8, 2009.
