Background

    On November 19, 1997, the Department published an antidumping duty 
order on collated roofing nails from Taiwan (62 FR 61730). On November 
29, 1999, the above-mentioned producer/exporter requested an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on collated roofing 
nails from Taiwan covering the period of November 1, 1998, through 
October 31, 1999. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we 
published the initiation of the review on December 28, 1999 (64 FR 
72644). On February 3, 2000, Dinsen Fastening System, Inc. (``Dinsen'') 
withdrew its request for review.

Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations, at 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), provide that 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if a party that 
requested the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date 
of publication of the notice of initiation of

the requested review. Dinsen withdrew its request for an administrative 
review on February 3, 2000, which is within the 90-day deadline. 
Therefore, the Department has determined to rescind this administrative 
review with respect to Dinsen.
    This notice also 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). 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 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(4) and section 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: March 23, 2000.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
