Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Recission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In response to a request from respondents, the Department of 
Commerce (``the Department'') initiated an administrative review of 
SeAH Steel Corporation, Ltd. (``SeAH''), on October 1, 1999. The review 
covered one manufacturer/exporter of the subject merchandise to the 
United States, SeAH and its U.S. sales subsidiaries (Pusan Pipe 
America, Inc. and State Pipe & Supply Co.). The period of review is 
August 1, 1998 through July 31, 1999. The Department received a request 
for withdrawal on December 3, 1999 from respondent. In accordance with 
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is now terminating this review 
because the respondent has withdrawn its request for review and no 
other interested parties have requested a review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 4, 2000.

Background

    On August 11, 1995, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (60 FR 41058) the antidumping duty order on oil country 
tubular goods from Korea. The Department of Commerce published in the 
Federal Register a notice of ``Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review'' of the antidumping duty order for the 1998-1999 review period 
on August 11, 1999 (64 FR 43649). On August 31, 1999, SeAH requested an 
administrative review for its entries during the 1998-1999 period of 
review. No other interested party requested review of this antidumping 
duty order. On October 1, 1999, in accordance with Section 751 of the 
Act, the Department initiated the review (64 FR 53318). On December 3, 
1999 respondent withdrew its request for review.
    Section 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations 
stipulates that the Secretary may permit a party that requests a review 
to withdraw the request not later than 90 days after the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In 
this case, respondent has withdrawn its request for review within the 
90-day period. No other interested party requested a review and we have 
received no other submissions regarding respondent's withdrawal of its 
request for review. Therefore, we are terminating this review of the 
antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods from Korea.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act 
and section 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: December 28, 1999.
Richard O. Weible,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
