Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty order on certain 
preserved mushrooms from Chile for the period December 1, 2000, through

timely request from the petitioner \1\ that we conduct an 
administrative review of the above-referenced antidumping duty order 
for the period December 1, 2000, through November 30, 2001, for the 
following companies: Nature's Farm Products (Chile) S.A., Ravine Foods 
and Compania Envasadora del Atlanitco. On January 29, 2002, the 
Department published a notice of initiation of an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on certain preserved mushrooms from Chile 
with respect to these companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 67 FR 4236.

Trade which includes the American Mushroom Institute and the

Rescission of Review

    On February 27, 2002, the petitioner timely withdrew its request 
for an administrative review of these companies' sales during the 
above-referenced period. Section 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 within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. In this 
case, the petitioner withdrew its request for review within the 90-day 
period. We have received no other submissions regarding the 
petitioner's withdrawal of its request for review. Therefore, we are 
rescinding this review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
preserved mushrooms from Chile for the period of December 1, 2000, 
through November 30, 2001. This notice is published in accordance with 
section 751 of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
