SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective

Background

    On March 29, 2002, the Department received a request for an 
administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain 
welded carbon steel pipe and tube from Turkey for the period January 1, 
2001 through December 31, 2001. On April 24, 2002, the Department 
published in the Federal Register (64 FR 67846) a notice of initiation 
of the antidumping and countervailing duty administrative review on 
certain welded carbon steel pipe and tube from Turkey with respect to 
the respondent.

Rescission of Review

    On June 4, 2002, the respondent timely withdrew its request for 
review. The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), states that if 
a party that requested an administrative review withdraws the request 
within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation 
of the requested review, the Secretary will rescind the review. In this 
case, the respondent has withdrawn its request for the review within 
the 90-day period. No other party requested a review and we have 
received no other submissions regarding the respondent's withdrawal of 
its request for the review. Therefore, we are rescinding this review of 
the countervailing duty order on certain welded carbon steel pipe and 
tube from Turkey covering the period January 1, 2001 through December 
31, 2001.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4) and 777(i) of the Act.

    DATED: June 14, 2002
