SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the

Commerce’s (‘‘the Department’s’’)

Background

On September 15, 1998, the

Department published an antidumping

duty order on stainless steel wire rod

from Sweden (63 FR 49329). On

September 30, 1999, the abovementioned producer/exporter requested

an administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on stainless

steel wire rod from Sweden covering the

period of March 5, 1998, through

August 31, 1999. In accordance with 19

CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we published the

initiation of the review on November 4,

1999 (64 FR 60161). On December 22,

1999, Fagersta Stainless AB (‘‘Fagersta’’)

withdrew its request for review.

Rescission of Review

The Department’s regulations at 19

CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide that the

Department may rescind an

administrative review if a party that

requested a review withdraws the

request within 90 days of the date of

publication of the notice of initiation of

the requested review. Fagersta withdrew

its request for an administrative review

on December 22, 1999, which is within

the 90-day deadline.

Therefore, the Department has

determined to grant the request to

rescind this administrative review with

respect to Fagersta.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their

responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely

written notification of the return or

destruction of APO materials or

conversion to judicial protective order is

hereby requested. Failure to comply

with the regulations and the terms of an

APO is a sanctionable violation.

This determination is issued and

published in accordance with sections

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act

of 1930, as amended.

Dated: January 11, 2000.
