## Background

                        On December 1, 2008, the Department published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on honey from Argentina.                         *See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review,*73 FR 72764 (December 1, 2008). On December 31, 2008, the American Honey Producers Association and the Sioux Honey Association (petitioners) timely requested an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on honey from Argentina for the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department published a notice initiating an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on honey from Argentina.                         *See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part,*74 FR 5821 (February 2, 2009).                    

## Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review

                        The Department's regulations provide that the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation.                         *See*19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). On February 27, 2009, petitioners submitted a letter withdrawing their request of the review within the 90-day deadline. No other party requested a review of the order. Therefore, the Department is rescinding this administrative review of the countervailing duty order on honey from Argentina for the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after the date of publication of this notice.
