SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute and Regulations

    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 (URAA). In addition, unless 
otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are 
to the regulations at 19 CFR Part 351 (2002).

Background

    On February 1, 2002, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty orders on certain cut-to-length carbon-quality 
steel plate (CTL plate) from France, Italy, Indonesia, India, Japan, 
and the Republic of Korea (67 FR 4945, 4946).
    On March 27, 2002, the Department initiated administrative reviews 
of the antidumping duty orders on CTL plate from France, Italy, 
Indonesia, India, Japan, and the Republic of Korea for the period 
February 1, 2001, through January 31, 2002, (67 FR 14696, 14697) 
pursuant to requests made by Bethlehem Steel Corporation and United 
States Steel Corporation (collectively ``the petitioners'') on February 
28, 2002. Also on February 28, 2002, Nucor Corp. requested an 
administrative review for only the Republic of Korea for the period 
February 1, 2001, through January 31, 2002. On April 26, 2002, the 
petitioners withdrew their request for the administrative reviews of 
CTL plate from France, Italy, Indonesia, India, Japan, and the Republic 
of Korea. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is 
rescinding the administrative reviews covering France, Italy, 
Indonesia, India, and Japan because the petitioners have withdrawn 
their requests for an administrative review in a timely manner and they 
were the only petitioners to request those reviews.
    However, as Nucor Corp. has not withdrawn its request that the 
Department conduct an administrative review of the order on CTL plate 
from the Republic of Korea, this review will proceed.

Rescission of Review

    Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations provides that 
a party that requests an administrative review may withdraw the request 
within 90 days after the date of publication of the notice of 
initiation of the requested administrative review. The Department is 
rescinding the administrative reviews of the order on CTL plate from 
France, Italy, Indonesia, India, and Japan because the requesting

parties have withdrawn their request for these administrative reviews 
within the 90 day time limit and no other interested parties have 
requested a review for these countries.
    The notice is in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: May 20, 2002
Bernard T. Carreau,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
