# SUMMARY:

In response to a request from the petitioner in this proceeding, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from Canada. Due to the recent completion of NAFTA panel review of the final remand redetermination made by the Department concerning the full sunset review of that order, the order was revoked effective August 1, 2000. Therefore, we are rescinding the ongoing administrative review covering the period August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004.

## Background 

                    On August 31, 1992, the Department published in the                     **Federal Register**                     (57 FR 39390) an antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from Canada. On August 3, 2004, the Department published a notice in the                     **Federal Register**                     of the opportunity for interested parties to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from Canada.                     *See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative Review*, 69 FR 46496 (August 3, 2004). On August 30, 2004, and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1) of the Department's regulations, the Department received a timely request for review of the antidumping duty order from U.S. Magnesium LLC, an interested party in these proceedings, on imports of pure magnesium from Canada by Norsk Hydro Canada Inc., and Magnola Metallurgy Inc.
