Background

    On May 6, 2002, the Department published in the Federal Register 
(67 FR 30356) a notice of opportunity to request an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order regarding frozen concentrated 
orange juice from Brazil for the period May 1, 2001, through April 30, 
2002.
    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), on May 31, 2002, the 
domestic interested parties of Florida Citrus Mutual, Citrus Belle, 
Citrus World, Inc., Orange-Co of Florida, Inc., Peace River Citrus 
Products, Inc., and Southern Gardens Citrus Processors Corp. requested 
a review of the antidumping duty order on frozen concentrated orange 
juice from Brazil with respect to the following producers/exporters: 
Citrovita Agro Industrial Ltda. and its affiliated parties Cambuhy MC 
Industrial Ltda. and Cambuhy Citrus Comercial e Exportadora 
(collectively ``Citrovita''), Branco Peres Citrus S.A. (Branco Peres), 
CTM Citrus S.A. (CTM), and Sucorrico S.A. (Sucorrico).
    In June 2002, the Department initiated an administrative review for 
Citrovita, Branco Peres, CTM, and Sucorrico (67 FR 42753 (June 25, 
2002)) and issued questionnaires to them.
    In July and August 2002, Branco Peres, CTM, Citrovita, and 
Sucorrico notified the Department that neither they nor any of their 
affiliates had any sales or exports of subject merchandise during the 
period of review (POR). The Department has been able to confirm with 
the Customs Service that Branco Peres, CTM, Citrovita, and Sucorrico 
had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. See the August 
5, 2002, memorandum from Elizabeth Eastwood to the file entitled 
``Intent to Rescind the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review on 
Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice from Brazil.''

Rescission of Review

    As Branco Peres, CTM, Citrovita, and Sucorrico had no sales or 
exports of subject merchandise for this POR, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3) and consistent with our practice, we are rescinding this 
review of the antidumping duty order on frozen concentrated orange 
juice from Brazil for the period of May 1, 2001, through April 30, 
2002. This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 8, 2002.

Deputy Assistant Secretary Import Administration.
