The US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced Tuesday that it has rescinded the administrative reviews of several companies in connection with the review of certain circular welded non-alloy steel pipe (standard pipe) from Korea. The review covers the period from November 1, 2009 through October 31, 2010.

Subsequently, Wheatland and US Steel withdrew their requests for reviews of Husteel, Nexteel, Dongbu, Kumkang, and A-JU Besteel. Accordingly, the DOC has rescinded the reviews of those companies.
