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

SUMMARY: On January 31, 2001, the Department of Commerce published in 
the Federal Register a notice announcing the initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on porcelain-on-
steel (``POS'') cooking ware from the People's Republic of China for 
one producer of POS cooking ware from the People's Republic of China, 
Clover Enamelware Enterprises Ltd. (``Clover''), and its affiliated 
reseller, Lucky Enamelware Factory, Ltd. (``Lucky'') covering the 
period December 1, 1999 through November 30, 2000. The Department of 
Commerce received a request for withdrawal of this review from Clover, 
Lucky and CGS, a U.S. importer of POS cooking ware, who collectively 
requested the review. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the 
Department of Commerce is now rescinding this review because the 
producer, its affiliated reseller, and a U.S. importer of scope 
merchandise have timely withdrawn their request for review and no other 
interested parties have requested a review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 28, 2001.

Background

    On December 20, 2000, we published in the Federal Register the 
``Notice of opportunity to request an administrative review'' of this 
order for the period December 1, 1999 through November 30, 2000 (65 FR 
79802). On December 8, 2000, Clover, Lucky, and CGS, an importer of POS 
cooking ware manufactured by Clover and sold by Lucky, requested that 
the Department conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on POS cooking ware from the People's Republic of China produced 
by Clover and sold by Lucky.
    On January 31, 2001, the Department initiated an administrative 
review (66 FR 8378). On February 5, 2001, the Department sent a 
questionnaire to the counsel representing Clover and Lucky. On March 1, 
2001, we received a letter on behalf of Clover and Lucky withdrawing 
their request for a review. On March 7, 2001, we received a letter from 
CGS also withdrawing its request for a review.
    Section 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations 
provides that the Secretary may permit a party that requests a review 
to withdraw the request within 90 days after the date of publication of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. The Department of 
Commerce is now rescinding this review because the requesting parties 
have withdrawn their request for review within the 90 day time limit 
and no other interested parties have requested a review. This notice 
also 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: March 20, 2001.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
