SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 31, 1998, Canada Pipe Company Limited, a manufacturer/
exporter of the subject merchandise, requested an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on iron construction castings from Canada 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b). On April 24, 1998, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of 
this order for the period March 1, 1997 through February 28, 1998. On 
July 31, 1998, Canada Pipe Company Limited withdrew its request for 
this review.

Recission of Review

    The Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide that a 
party may withdraw its request for review within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review, or at 
a later date if the Department determines that such an

[[Page 45798]]

extended time is reasonable. Canada Pipe Company Limited withdrew its 
request for review after the 90 day period. However, the Department has 
determined to grant the request to rescind the review because Canada 
Pipe Company Limited was the only party to request the review, and 
withdrew its request shortly after the 90 day period; no party objected 
to the recission; and it otherwise is reasonable to rescind the review 
based on Canada Pipe Company Limited's withdrawal at this time.
    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675) and 
19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 21, 1998.
Maria Harris Tildon,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary Import Administration.
