SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 31, 1995, Du Pont de Nemours & Company (Du Pont), a 
domestic producer of PTFE resin, requested that the Department conduct 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on granular PTFE 
resin from Japan with respect to one manufacturer/exporter, Daikin 
Industries, Ltd. and Daikin America, Inc. (collectively Daikin). The 
review period is August 1, 1994, through July 31, 1995.
    On October 12, 1995, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (60 FR 53164) a notice of initiation of an administrative 
review of the order with respect to Daikin and the period August 1, 
1994, through July 31, 1995. On October 18, 1995, Du Pont withdrew its 
request for a review and requested that the review be terminated.
    The Department's regulations at 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5) (1994) state 
that ``the Secretary may permit a party that requests a review under 
paragraph (a) of this section to withdraw the request no later than 90 
days after the date of publication of notice of initiation of the 
requested review. The Secretary may extend this time limit if the 
Secretary decides that it is reasonable to do so.'' The withdrawal of 
the request for review was made within 90 days of the notice of 
initiation. Because there were no requests for review from other 
interested parties, we are terminating this review.
    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility 
concerning disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO 
in accordance with section 353.34(d) of the Department's regulations. 
Timely written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials 
or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure 
to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a 
sanctionable violation.
    This notice is in accordance with section 353.22(a)(5) of the 
Department's regulations (19 CFR 353.22(a)(5)).

    Dated: December 6, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
