Dynamic Random Access Memory Semiconductors (``DRAMs''): 
Rescission of Changed Circumstances Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On December 13, 1999, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated a changed circumstances review, in response to 
a request from Micron Technology Inc. (``the petitioner''), to 
determine whether Hyundai MicroElectronics Co., Ltd. (``Hyundai 
MicroElectronics''), is the successor-in-interest to LG Semicon Co., 
Ltd., (``LG Semicon'') and Hyundai Electronics Industries Co., Ltd., 
(``Hyundai''). The Department is rescinding this review after receiving 
a withdrawal from the petitioner of its request for review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 19, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ronald Trentham or Maisha Cryor, AD/
CVD Enforcement, Office 4, Group II, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; (202) 482-
6320 and (202) 482-5831, 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. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations 
to the Department's regulations are to the regulations at 19 CFR Part 
351 (1999).

Background

    On November 12, 1999, the petitioner requested that the Department 
conduct a changed circumstances review to determine the cash deposit 
rate to be applied to Hyundai MicroElectronics in light of the 
acquisition of LG Semicon by Hyundai, two companies subject to the 
antidumping duty order.
    On December 13, 1999, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (64 FR 69492) a notice of initiation of a changed 
circumstances review. On August 14, 2000, the petitioner requested that 
it be allowed to withdraw its request for review.

Rescission of Review

    The Department is rescinding this review because the requesting 
party withdrew its request and there are no compelling reasons to 
continue the review. See Brass Sheet and Strip From Canada; Termination 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 63 FR 23269 (April 28, 
1998). We note that LG Semicon and Hyundai currently have the same cash 
deposit rate and that the acquisition of LG Semicon by Hyundai took 
place in October 1999. Therefore, we will address the acquisition in 
the context of the May 1, 1999 through April 30, 2000 administrative 
review of DRAMs from Korea.
    This notice serves as the only 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 351.105(a). Timely written notification 
of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial 
protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the 
regulation and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This notice is in accordance with section 771(i) of the Act and of 
19 CFR 351.216.

    Dated: September 8, 2000.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
