SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the 
Federal Register on November 7, 1997 (62 FR 60219) a ``Notice of 
Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty 
order on fresh garlic from the People's Republic of China (59 FR 59209, 
November 16, 1994). On November 18, 1997, Fook Huat Tong Kee Pte. Ltd. 
(FHTK), the respondent, requested an administrative review of imports 
of its merchandise into the United States. The Department initiated the 
review on December 23, 1997 (62 FR 67044).
    Documentation we received from the Customs Service subsequent to 
the initiation of the review demonstrated that, although Customs 
received importation documentation for the shipment of the subject 
merchandise, this shipment did not result in a reviewable entry or sale 
within the period of review. Therefore, we are rescinding the 
initiation of this review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). For 
further information regarding this recission, see the decision 
memorandum entitled ``Whether to Rescind the 96/97 Administrative 
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Fresh Garlic from the People's 
Republic of China,'' from Laurie Parkhill to Richard W. Moreland dated 
July 6, 1998.
    The cash-deposit rate for FHTK will remain at 376.67 percent, the 
rate established in the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding (59 FR 59029, November 16,1994). This notice is in 
accordance with section 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: July 6, 1998.

Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
