SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective 
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are to the regulations as 
set forth at 19 CFR Sec. 353.1, et seq., as amended by the interim 
regulations published in the Federal Register on May 11, 1995 (60 FR 
25130).

Background

    Pursuant to 19 CFR Sec. 351.213(d) of the Department of Commerce's 
(the Department) regulations, on December 24, 1997, the respondent in 
this case, Clover Enamelware Enterprise Ltd., a manufacturer/exporter, 
and its third-country reseller, Lucky Enamelware Factory Limited 
(together, the respondent), requested that the Department conduct an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on porcelain-on-
steel cooking ware from the People's Republic of China, published in 
the Federal Register on December 2, 1986 (51 FR 43414). On January 26, 
1998, the Department published in the Federal Register (63 FR 3702) its 
notice of initiation of the antidumping review of the antidumping duty 
order on porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from the People's Republic of 
China, covering the period December 1, 1996 through November 30, 1997.

Rescission of Review

    On February 27, 1998, the respondent withdrew its request for 
administrative review. Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's 
regulations provides that ``[t]he Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review under this section, in whole or in part, if a 
party that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of 
the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested 
review.'' See 19 CFR Sec. 351.213(d)(1) (1997). Because the only party 
which requested a review has withdrawn its request within the 
regulatory time limit, we are now rescinding this review. The cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the rate established in the most 
recently completed segment of this proceeding.
    This notice is published in accordance with sections 751 and 777(i) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1675 (1995); (19 
U.S.C. Sec. 1677f(i) (1995) and 19 CFR Sec. 351.213(d)(4)).

    Dated: April 3, 1998.
Maria Harris Tildon,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II, Import Administration.
