SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 12, 1973, the Department published in the Federal Register 
(38 FR 9226) the antidumping duty finding on roller chain, other than 
bicycle, from Japan. In accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(c), we published 
in the Federal Register notices of initiation of administrative reviews 
for the periods April 1, 1981 through March 31, 1983 (51 FR 2747, 
January 21, 1986); April 1, 1983 through March 31, 1984 and April 1, 
1984 through March 31, 1985 (51 FR 24883, July 9, 1986); April 1, 1985 
through March 31, 1986 (51 FR 18475, May 20, 1986); April 1, 1987 
through March 31, 1988 (53 FR 18324, May 23, 1988); April 1, 1988 
through March 31, 1989 (54 FR 22465, May 24, 1989); April 1, 1989 
through March 31, 1990 55 FR 22366, June 1, 1990); and April 1, 1991 
through March 31, 1992 (57 FR 21769, May 22, 1992). Although the 
Department has issued final results for most of the companies reviewed 
for these periods, reviews are still incomplete with regard to the 
following companies: Daido Kogyo Co., Ltd., Enuma Chain Manufacturing 
Co., Ltd. or Daido Tsusho Co., Ltd. (formerly known as Meisei Trading 
Co., Ltd.), and Izumi Chain. On May 6, 1997, petitioner withdrew its 
requests for review for the above-cited review periods, with the 
exception of the 1981 through 1983 period, regarding Daido Kogyo Co., 
Ltd., Enuma Chain Manufacturing Co., Ltd. or Daido Tsusho Co., Ltd. In 
addition, on May 16, 1997, petitioner withdrew its request for review 
for the period October 1, 1982 through March 31, 1983 for the company 
Izumi Chain. There were no requests for review from other interested 
parties, and completion of these reviews would place an administrative 
burden on the Department. Therefore, although petitioner's request was 
not filed in a timely manner, in accordance with CFR 353.22(a)(5), the 
Department finds it reasonable to extend the time limit for accepting 
the withdrawal request. We are, therefore terminating the above-cited 
administrative reviews for the companies Daido Kogyo Co., Ltd., Enuma 
Chain Manufacturing Co., Ltd. or Daido Tsusho Co., Ltd., and Izumi 
Chain.
    This termination notice is in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5).

    Dated: May 19, 1997.
Jeffrey P. Bialos,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
