Recission of 1998–99 Antidumping

Duty Administrative Review

On July 29, 1999, in response to a

request by Daewoo-MGM Rt., the

Department published a Notice of

Initiation of Antidumping and

Countervailing Administrative Reviews

(64 FR 41075). Daewoo-MGM Rt. was

the only party which requested a

review. On March 20, 2000, DaewooMGM Rt. withdrew its request for

review. We are therefore rescinding this

review in its entirety in accordance with

19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1) of the Act and

§ 351.213(d)(1) of our regulations.

The recission of this review does not

affect the reclassification of the

Republic of Hungary to market economy

status for antidumping purposes (see

Decision Memorandum from Joseph A.

Spetrini to Robert S. LaRussa on Market

vs. Non-Market Economy Analysis of the

Republic of Hungary, dated February 23,

2000). This notice is published in

accordance with 19 U.S.C. 1677(f) and

§ 351.213(d)(4) of our regulations.

Dated: May 26, 2000.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration

Coastal Zone Management: Federal

Consistency Appeal by Mobil Oil

Exploration and Producing Southeast,

Inc.; Consistency Appeal of Objections

by the State of North Carolina

AGENCY: National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration.

ACTION: Notice of decision.

On September 2, 1994, the Secretary

of Commerce (Secretary) declined to

override two objections by the State of

North Carolina to the proposed drilling

discharges (PDD) and overall Plan of

Exploration (POE) by Mobil Oil

Exploration & Producing Southeast, Inc.

(Mobil) at a site about 38 miles offshore

North Carolina. The Secretary made

these decisions pursuant to section

307(c)(3) of the Coastal Zone

Management Act (CZMA). Mobil

challenged the Secretary’s decisions in

U.S. District Court for the District of

Columbia claiming they were made in

violation of the Administrative

Procedure Act. On March 11, 1996, the

court ordered a stay of the litigation and

remanded the matter to the Secretary for

a determination whether the

administrative record should be

reopened to receive two recently

produced studies, one on the impacts of

Mobil’s propsoed actions on benthic

resources and one on their impacts on

socio-economic resources. Mobil, et al.

v. Brown, et al., 920 F. Supp. 1 (D.D.C.

1996).

The Secretary’s decision was held in

abeyance pending settlement

discussions and the outcome of related

litigation.

On December 8, 1999, the Secretary

issued a decision declining to reopen

the record to admit the two studies at

issue in Mobil v. Brown, for two reasons.

First, both this Department and parties

to appeals under the CZMA have an

interest in the finality of Secretarial

decisions and the administrative

process. Once the administrative record

is closed, a decision should be made,

and new materials should not be

submitted or considered without a

showing of good cause. No good cause

was shown in this case. Second, the two

studies do not address all of the

information gaps identified by the

Secretary’s 1994 decisions. The

Secretary’s decision has been submitted

to the District Court in response to the

court’s order in Mobil v. Brown. Copies

of the decision may be obtained from:
