SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 12, 1995, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (60 FR 47349) the opportunity to request an administrative 
review of silicon metal from Argentina for the period September 1, 1994 
through August 31, 1995. On September 29, 1995, American Silicon 
Technologies, Elkem Metals Company, Globe Metallurgical, Inc., and SKW 
Metals & Alloys, Inc., the petitioners, in accordance with 19 CFR 
353.2(k) (1994), requested an administrative review of 
Electrometalurgica Andina, S.A.I.C. and Silarsa, S.A. On October 12, 
1995, the Department initiated an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on silicon metal from Argentina in accordance 
with 19 CFR 352.22 and published the notice of initiation in the 
Federal Register. This notice stated that the Department would review 
merchandise sold in the United States by Electrometalurgica Andina, 
S.A.I.C. and Silarsa, S.A. during the period September 1, 1994 through 
August 31, 1995.

Termination of Review

    The petitioners subsequently withdrew their request for review on 
October 12, 1995. Under CFR Sec. 353.22(a)(5)(1994), a party requesting 
a review may withdraw that request no later than 90 days after the date 
of publication of the notice of initiation. Because the petitioners' 
withdrawal occurred within the time frame specified in 19 CFR 
Sec. 353.22(a)(5), and no other interested party has requested an 
administrative review for this period, the Department is now 
terminating this review.
    This notice is published pursuant to 19 CFR Sec. 353.22(a)(5) of 
the Department's regulations.

    Dated: January 16, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
