SUMMARY: On October 29, 1998, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published in the Federal Register (63 FR 58009) a notice 
announcing the initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on large newspaper printing presses and 
components thereof (``LNPPs'') from Germany, covering the period 
September 1, 1997 through August 31, 1998, for one manufacturer/
exporter of the subject merchandise, MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AG 
(``MRD''). This review has now been terminated as a result of the 
interested party's withdrawal of its request for an administrative 
review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 21, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David J. Goldberger, Office of AD/CVD 
Enforcement, Group II, Import Administration, U.S. Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, are references to the provisions effective January 1, 
1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department of Commerce's regulations are to the 
regulations at 19 CFR Part 351, 62 FR 27296 (May 19, 1997).

Background

    On September 30, 1998, MRD, an interested party, requested an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on LNPPs from 
Germany in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b). On October 29, 1998, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(ii), we initiated an 
administrative review of this order for the period September 1, 1997, 
through August 31, 1998. On November 20, 1998, MRD withdrew its request 
for this review.

Termination of Review

    MRD withdrew its request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of the notice of initiation and, thus, within the time limit provided 
by the Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Therefore, the 
Department is terminating this review.
    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3) of the Department's 
Regulations (see 63 FR 24391 (May 4, 1998)). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: December 11, 1998.
Holly Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import Administration.
