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 February 1, 2002, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (67 FR 4945) a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping order regarding stainless 
steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy for the period August 2, 2000, 
through January 31, 2002. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2), on 
February 28, 2002, two merged producers/exporters of stainless steel 
butt-weld pipe fittings requested a joint review of the antidumping 
duty order on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy (i.e., 
Union Piping/ Coprosider S.P.A.).
    On March 27, 2002, the Department initiated an administrative 
review for these companies (67 FR 14696) and issued a questionnaire to 
them. On April 25, 2002, Union Piping/ Coprosider S.P.A. withdrew their 
request for review.

Rescission of Review

    Union Piping/Coprosider S.P.A. timely withdrew their request for an 
administrative review for the above-referenced period on April 25, 
2002. No other interested party filed a request for review of these 
companies for this period of review. Consequently, 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 stainless steel 
butt-weld pipe fittings from Italy for the period of August 2, 2000, 
through January 31, 2002. This notice is published in accordance with 
section 751 of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 15, 2002
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
