SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The 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 (the 
Department)'s regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (2001).

Background

    On October 1, 2001, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (66 FR 49923) a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping order regarding extruded 
rubber thread from Malaysia for the period October 1, 2000, through 
September 30, 2001. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2), on October 
31, 2001, two producers/exporters of extruded rubber thread requested a 
review of the antidumping duty order on extruded rubber thread from 
Malaysia (i.e., Filati Lastex Sdn. Bhd.

[[Page 18173]]

(Filati) and Heveafil Sdn. Bhd. (Heveafil)).
    In November 2001, the Department initiated an administrative review 
for each of these companies (66 FR 58432 (Nov. 21, 2001)) and issued 
questionnaires to them.
    On February 8, 2002, Filati withdrew its request for review.
    On February 15, 2002, Heveafil requested an extension of the 90-day 
limit to withdraw its request for a review until March 29, 2002. We 
granted this extension on February 19, 2002, and on March 27, 2002, 
Heveafil withdrew its request for review.

Rescission of Review

    Filati and Heveafil withdrew their requests for an administrative 
review for the above-referenced period on February 8 and March 27, 
2002, respectively. Therefore, because no other interested party 
requested a review of Filati or Heveafil for this POR, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) and consistent with our practice, we are 
rescinding this review of the antidumping duty order on extruded rubber 
thread from Malaysia for the period of October 1, 2000, through 
September 30, 2001. This notice is published in accordance with section 
751 of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: April 9, 2002.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import Administration.
