administrative review of the antidumping duty order on industrial belts 
and components and parts thereof, whether cured or uncured, from Japan 
for NOK Corporation, a manufacturer of industrial belts. This 
administrative review was requested by NOK Corporation and is for the

this review after timely receiving from NOK Corporation, a withdrawal 
of its request for review.

Background

    On June 30, 1998, NOK Corporation (NOK), requested that the 
Department conduct an administrative review of the subject merchandise 
it exported from Japan for the period June 1, 1997, through May 31, 
1998.
    On July 28, 1998, the Department published in the Federal Register 
(63 FR 40258) a notice of initiation of administrative review with 
respect to NOK for the period June 1, 1997, through May 31, 1998. On 
July 28, 1998, NOK requested that it be allowed to withdraw its request 
for a review and that the review be terminated.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1)(1998), the Department may allow a 
party that requests an administrative review to withdraw such request 
within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation 
of the requested review. Because NOK's request for termination was 
submitted within the 90-day time limit, and there were no requests for 
review from other interested parties, we are rescinding this review. We 
will issue appropriate appraisement instructions directly to the U.S. 
Customs Service.
    This notice is in accordance with section 777(i) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4)(1998).

    Dated: August 6, 1998.
Maria Harris Tildon,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import Administration.
