SUMMARY:  On October 28, 1999, in response to a request from 
respondents, the Department of Commerce initiated an administrative 
review of the countervailing duty order on stainless steel wire rod 
from Italy. The review covers the period January 1, 1998 through 
December 31, 1998. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 
Department is now rescinding this review because the respondents have 
withdrawn their request for review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 30, 1999, the Department 
received a request for an administrative review of the countervailing 
duty order on stainless steel wire rod from Italy from Accaiaerie 
Valbruna S.r.l. and Accaiaerie di Bolzano SpA (respondents), for the 
period January 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998. On November 4, 1999, 
the Department published in the Federal Register (64 FR 60161) a notice 
of ``Initiation of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review'' 
initiating the administrative review. On November 15, 1999, respondents 
withdrew their request for review.
    The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), states that if a 
party that requested an administrative review withdraws the request 
within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation 
of the requested review, the Secretary will rescind the review. In this 
case, respondents have withdrawn their request within the 90 day 
period. No other interested party requested a review, and we have 
received no other submissions regarding respondents' withdrawal of its 
request for review. Therefore, we are rescinding this review of the 
countervailing duty order on stainless steel wire rod from Italy 
covering the period January 1, 1998, through December 31, 1998.
    This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
