Background

On August 31, 2000, JAS requested

that the Department conduct an

administrative review for the period

August 1, 1999 through July 31, 2000, of

Universal Candle Company, Ltd.

(‘‘Universal’’), a producer/exporter of

the subject merchandise from the PRC.

On October 2, 2000, the Department

published a notice of initiation of the

antidumping administrative review on

petroleum wax candles from China, in

accordance with 19 CFR

351.221(c)(1)(i). See Initiation of

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

Administrative Reviews, 65 FR 58733

(October 2, 2000). On November 1,

2000, JAS withdrew its request for

review.

Rescission of Review

Pursuant to our regulations, the

Department will rescind an

administrative review, ‘‘if a party that

requested the review withdraws the

request within 90 days of the date of

publication of notice of initiation of the

requested review.’’ See 19 CFR

351.213(d)(1). The interested party’s

withdrawal of its request for review was

within the 90-day time limit;

accordingly, we are rescinding the

administrative review for the period

August 1, 1999 through July 31, 2000,

and will issue appropriate assessment

instructions to the U.S. Customs

Service.

This notice serves as a reminder to

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 terms of an

APO is a sanctionable violation. This

determination is issued in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) and section

777(i)(1) of the Act.
