SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 30, 1996, the Department received a request for an 
administrative review of this countervailing duty order from the 
petitioners, U.S. producers of the subject merchandise, for the period 
January 1, 1995, through December 31, 1995. No other interested party 
requested a review of the countervailing duty order. On September 17, 
1996, the Department published in the Federal Register (61 FR 48885) a 
notice of ``Initiation of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review'' 
initiating the administrative review of SSAB Svenskt Stal AB for that 
period. On November 19, 1996, the petitioners withdrew their request 
for review.
    Section 355.22(a)(5) of the Department's interim 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this case, the petitioners have withdrawn their request for review 
within the 90-day period. No other interested party requested a review 
and we have received no other submissions regarding the petitioners' 
withdrawal of their request for review. Therefore, we are terminating 
this review of the countervailing duty order on cut-to-length carbon 
steel plate from Sweden.
    This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 355.22(a)(5).

    Dated: November 25, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary AD/CVD Enforcement III.
