SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Tariff 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

Background

    On June 5, 1991 the Department published the antidumping duty order 
on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet and strip from Korea. See 
Antidumping Duty Order and Amendment to Final Determination of Less

[[Page 57388]]

Hyosung, producers of the subject merchandise, requested that the 
Department conduct an administrative review of their respective sales 
for the period June 1, 2001 through May 31, 2002. There were no other 
requests for review. On July 24, 2002, the Department published a 
notice of initiation of antidumping duty administrative review of 
polyethylene terephtalate film, sheet and strip from Korea, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i). See Initiation of Antidumping 
and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for 
Revocation in Part, 67 FR 48435 (July 24, 2002). On July 29, 2002, 
Hyosung withdrew its request for review.

Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations provide that 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). Hyosung's withdrawal of its request for review was 
within the 90-day time limit. Therefore, the Department is rescinding 
this review as to Hyosung in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 
Because the Department received no other requests for review, the 
Department is rescinding the administrative review for the period June 
1, 2001 through May 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 notice is issued and published in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4) and sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act.

    Dated: August 30, 2002.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
