SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 6, 1973, the Department of the Treasury published in 
the Federal Register (38 FR 35393) the antidumping finding on 
polychloroprene rubber (rubber) from Japan. On December 3, 1996, the 
Department published a notice of ``Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review'' (61 FR 64050). On December 26, 1996, the 
petitioner, E.I. Du Pont de Nemours & Company, Inc. (Du Pont), 
requested that we conduct an administrative review for the period 
December 1, 1995, through November 30, 1996, covering eight producers 
and/or exporters: Denki Kagujo (Denki), Denki/Hoei Sangyo Co., Ltd. 
(Denki/Hoei Sangyo), Mitsui Bussan, Showa Neoprene K.K. (Showa), Showa/
Hoei Sangyo Co., Ltd. (Showa/Hoei Sangyo), Suzugo Corporation (Suzugo), 
Tosoh (formerly Toyo Soda) Corporation (Tosoh), and Tosoh/Hoei Sangyo 
Co., Ltd. (Tosoh/Hoei Sangyo).
    We published a notice of initiation of the antidumping 
administrative review on these companies on January 17, 1997 (62 FR 
2647). On February 5, 1997, we received a withdrawal of request for 
review from Du Pont.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5) of the Department's regulations, 
the Department may allow a party that requests an administrative review 
to withdraw such request not later than 90 days after the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the administrative review.
    Because Du Pont's request for termination was submitted within the 
90 day time limit and there were no requests for review from other 
interested parties, we are terminating this review.
    This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5).

    Dated: April 1, 1997.
Jeffrey P. Bialos,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
