review

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

DATES: Effective Date: September 15, 2000.

SUMMARY: On June 1, 2000, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register (65 FR 35046) a notice announcing the 
initiation of four new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on 
freshwater crawfish tail meat (crawfish) from the People's Republic of 
China (PRC), covering the period September 1, 1999 through February 29, 
2000. One new shipper review is now being rescinded as a result of the 
withdrawal of request for a new shipper antidumping duty review by 
Rizhao Riyuan Marine and Food Products Co., Ltd. (Rizhao Riyuan).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Gilgunn, AD/CVD Enforcement 
Group III, Import Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, telephone: 
(202) 482-0648.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 29, 2000, Rizhao Riyuan, an exporter of the subject 
merchandise, requested a new shipper review of the antidumping duty 
order on crawfish from the PRC in accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(b). On 
June 1, 2000, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated 
a new shipper review of this order for the period September 1, 1999 
through February 29, 2000. On July 11, 2000, Rizhao Riyuan withdrew its 
request for this review.

Recission of Review

    The Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.214(f)(1) provide that a 
party may withdraw its request for a new shipper review within 60 days 
of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review. Rizhao Riyuan's request for withdrawal was made within the 60 
day period. Rescission of this review would not prejudice any party in 
this proceeding, as Rizhao Riyuan would continue to be included in the 
PRC-wide rate to which it was subject at the time of its request for 
this new shipper review. Rizhao Riyuan is the only party that requested 
a review of its sales for the period September 1, 1999 through February 
29, 2000, and no other party has objected to its withdrawal of that 
request. Therefore, we are rescinding this review. This determination 
is issued and published in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675) and 19 CFR 351.214(f).
