SUMMARY: On January 26, 2000, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from the People's 
Republic of China (``PRC'') for one manufacturer/exporter of the 
subject merchandise, Clover Enamelware Enterprise, Ltd. of China 
(``Clover''), and its Hong Kong affiliated reseller, Lucky Enamelware 
Factory Ltd. (``Lucky''), collectively referred to as Clover/Lucky, for 
the period December 1, 1998 through November 30, 1999. The Department 
is rescinding this review after receiving a timely withdrawal from the 
Petitioner, Columbian Home Products, of its request for review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 17, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Russell Morris, Group II, Office 6, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-1775.

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 December 30, 1999, Petitioner requested that the Department 
conduct an administrative review of Clover/Lucky, manufacturer and/or 
reseller of the subject merchandise in the PRC for the period December 
1, 1998 through November 30, 1999. On January 26, 2000, the Department 
published in the

[[Page 31302]]

Federal Register a notice of initiation of administrative review with 
respect to Clover/Lucky for the period December 1, 1998 through 
November 30, 1999. See, Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews, 65 FR 4228 (January 26, 2000). On April 
25, 2000, Petitioner requested that it be allowed to withdraw its 
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 the Petitioner's 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 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 8, 2000.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import Administration, Group II.
