Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

ACTION: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review.

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

SUMMARY: In response to a timely request from the petitioner, Goss 
Graphic Systems, Inc., on October 26, 2001, the Department of Commerce 
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on large newspaper printing presses and 
components thereof, whether assembled or unassembled, from Japan with 
respect to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and Tokyo Kikai 
Seisakusho, Ltd., covering the period September 1, 2000, through August 
31, 2001. On December 21, 2001, the petitioner timely notified the 
Department of its withdrawal from this and all other segments of the 
proceeding concerning large newspaper printing presses and components 
thereof, whether assembled or unassembled, from Japan.
    On January 16, 2001, the Department published its partial 
revocation of the order on large newspaper printing presses and 
components thereof, whether assembled or unassembled, from Japan with 
respect to Tokyo Kikai Seisakusho, Ltd., effective September 1, 2000. 
Accordingly, the Department is now rescinding this review with respect 
to this company.
    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department of Commerce 
is also rescinding this review with respect to Mitsubishi Heavy 
Industries because the petitioner has withdrawn its interest (and thus 
its request) in this review and no other interested parties have 
requested a review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 amendments made to 
the Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless 
otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department of Commerce's 
regulations are to 19 CFR Part 351 (2001).
Background
    On September 4, 2001, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (66 FR 46257) a notice of ``Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty order on large 
newspaper printing presses and components thereof, whether assembled or 
unassembled (``LNPPs''), from Japan for the period from September 1, 
2000, through August 31, 2001. On September 28, 2001, the petitioner 
requested an administrative review of the above-referenced antidumping 
duty order for the period from September 1, 2000, through August 31, 
2001, for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (``MHI'') and Tokyo Kikai 
Seisakusho, Ltd. (``TKS''). On October 26, 2001, the Department 
published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on LNPPs from Japan with respect to these 
companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation in Part, 66 FR 54195 
(October 26, 2001).
Recission of Review
    On December 21, 2001, the petitioner timely withdrew its 
participation from this review with respect to MHI and TKS. We 
interpret the petitioner's withdrawal of interest in this review to 
constitute withdrawal of its request for this review. Section 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations stipulates that the 
Secretary may permit a party that requests a review to withdraw the 
request no later than 90 days after the date of publication of the 
notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, the 
petitioner has withdrawn its request for review within the 90-day 
period. No other interested party requested a review. Furthermore, on 
January 16, 2001, the Department published its partial revocation of 
the order on LNPPs from Japan with respect to TKS, effective September 
1, 2000, pursuant to the completion of the final results of the third 
administrative review of the order for TKS. See Large Newspaper 
Printing Presses and Components Thereof, Whether Assembled or 
Unassembled, from Japan: Final Results of Antidumping Administrative 
Review and Revocation in Part, 67 FR 2190 (January 16, 2002). 
Therefore, we are rescinding this review of the antidumping duty order 
on LNPPs from Japan.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act 
and section 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    February 8, 2002.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
