ACTION: Notice of Rescission of the antidumping duty administrative 
review for the period December 27, 2000 through January 31, 2002.

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

SUMMARY: On March 27, 2002, in response to a request made by Schulz 
(Mfg.) Sdn. Bhd. (``Schulz''), a producer and exporter of the subject 
merchandise in Malaysia, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of an antidumping duty administrative 
review on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings (``SSBWPF'') from 
Malaysia, for the period December 27, 2000 through January 31, 2002. 
Because Schulz has withdrawn its request for review, and there were no 
other requests for review for this time period, the Department is 
rescinding this review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 29, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurel LaCivita or Robert A. Bolling,

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 Uruguay Round 
Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations 
to the Department's regulations are to the regulations codified at 19 
CFR Part 351 (2001).

Background

    On February 28, 2002, Schulz, a producer and exporter of the 
subject merchandise in Malaysia, requested the Department to conduct an 
administrative review of its sales for the period December 27, 2000 
through January 31, 2002. Schultz was the only interested party to 
request a review for this time period. On March 27, 2002, the 
Department published a notice of initiation of the antidumping 
administrative review on SSBWPF from Malaysia, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i). See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocations in Part, 67 FR 
14696 (March 27, 2002). On April 8, 2002, Schulz withdrew its request 
for review.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to the Department's regulations, the Department will 
rescind an administrative review ``if a party that requested the review 
withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of 
notice of initiation of the requested review.'' See 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1). Schultz, the only interested party to request an 
administrative review for this time period, requested a withdrawal of 
this review within the 90-day time limit; accordingly, we are 
rescinding the administrative review for the period December 27, 2000 
through January 31, 2002, and will issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to the U.S. Customs Service.
    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation. This determination is issued in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4) and section 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: May 21, 2002
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
