August 31, 1999. The Department is rescinding this review after 
receiving a timely withdrawal from respondents of their request for 
review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 13, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Terpstra or Frank Thomson, Group 
II, Office 4, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-3965 
and (202) 482-4793, respectively.

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act''), are references to the provisions 
effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the Uruguay Round 
Agreements Act (``URAA''). In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all 
citations to the Department's regulations are to the regulations at 19 
CFR Part 351 (1999).

Background

    On September 30, 1999, respondents requested that the Department 
conduct an administrative review of the subject merchandise it exported 
from Korea for the period March 5, 1998 through August 31, 1999.
    On November 4, 1999, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (64 FR 60161) a notice of initiation of administrative review 
with respect to respondents for the period March 5, 1998 through August 
31, 1999. On November 18, 1999, respondents requested that they be 
allowed to withdraw their request for a review and that the review be 
terminated.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review if a party that requested the review withdraws 
the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of 
initiation of the requested review. Because respondents' 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 771(i) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: January 7, 2000.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import Administration, Group II.
