SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    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 codified at 19 CFR Part

Background

    On August 31, 2000, HDP requested that the Department conduct a new 
shipper review with respect to HDP's U.S. entries of cold-rolled carbon 
steel flat products from Korea made during the period August 1, 1999 
through July 31, 2000. On October 5, 2000, the Department published a 
notice of initiation of the new shipper review of cold-rolled carbon 
steel flat products from Korea, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i). See Certain Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products 
from Korea: Initiation of New Shipper Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review, 65 FR 59390. On November 7, 2000, HDP withdrew its request for 
a review.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to Departmental regulations, the Department will rescind a 
new shipper administrative review ``if a party that requested a review 
withdraws its request not later than 60 days after the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.'' See 19 
CFR 351.214(f)(1). HDP's withdrawal of its request for review was 
within the 60-day time limit; accordingly, we are rescinding the new 
shipper administrative review regarding HDP's U.S. entries of cold-
rolled carbon steel flat products from Korea for the period August 1, 
1999 through July 31, 2000, and will issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to the U.S. Customs Service.
    This notice 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation. This determination is issued in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.214(f)(3) and Section 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 7, 2000.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
