EFFECTIVE DATE: October 12, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Nunno or Christopher Priddy, AD/
CVD Enforcement Group I, Import Administration, International Trade

or (202) 482-1130, respectively.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Act are references 
to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the 
amendments made to the Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). 
In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the 
Department's regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (1999).

Background

    On July 31, 2000, Dana Glacier Daido America LLC (Dana), requested 
that the Department conduct an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from Japan for 
subject merchandise produced and exported by Daido Metal Corp. (Daido) 
during the period January 4, 1999, through June 30, 2000. On August 3, 
2000, and August 9, 2000, Dana revised this request to correct and 
clarify the case name and number for which it requested an 
administrative review (i.e., Dana intended to request a review of clad 
steel plate from Japan produced and/or exported by Daido to the United 
States). On August 31, 2000, Dana informed the Department that the 
merchandise that it imported is not subject to the antidumping duty 
order on clad steel plate from Japan, and withdrew its request for an 
administrative review. On September 6, 2000, the Department published 
in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of administrative review 
with respect to Daido. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part; 65 FR 
53980 (Sept. 6, 2000).

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(b)(3), the Department will initiate an 
administrative review based on a request from an importer of the 
subject merchandise. Given that Dana withdrew its request for review, 
notified the Department that it was not an importer of the subject 
merchandise during the period of review, and that no other party 
requested a review of this order, we are rescinding this review.
    This rescission of the administrative review and notice are in 
accordance with section 751 of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d).

    Dated: October 2, 2000.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
