published in the Federal Register (62 FR 50292) a notice of 
``Initiation of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review'' initiating 
the administrative review. On November 5, 1997, the respondents

the Secretary may permit a party that requested an administrative 
review to withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. In this 
case, the respondents have withdrawn their request within the 90 day 
period. No other interested party requested a review, and we have 
received no other submissions regarding the respondents' withdrawal of 
their request for review. Therefore, we are rescinding this review of 
the countervailing duty order on extruded rubber thread from Malaysia.
    This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
