SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade

on June 4, 1998, based on a complaint filed by Mitsubishi Chemical 
Corporation of Japan and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation America of 
White Plains, New York (collectively, Mitsubishi). 58 FR 30513. Twelve 
firms were named as respondents.

terminate the investigation based on withdrawal of its complaint with 
prejudice. By that date, only respondents Dainippon Ink and Chemicals

with Mitsubishi to be terminated from the investigation that had not 
yet been acted upon by the ALJ. On December 7, 1998, the presiding ALJ 
issued an ID granting complainants' motion.

    No petitions for review of the ID's determination to terminate the 
investigation were filed. However, on
