[[Page 60211]]

in part and to defer the initiation of an administrative review for one 
antidumping duty order.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 25, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Holly A. Kuga, Office of AD/CVD 
Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230, telephone: (202) 482-4737.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(b) (2001), for administrative reviews of various 
antidumping and countervailing duty orders and findings with August 
anniversary dates. The Department also received a timely request to 
revoke in part the antidumping duty order on Pure Magnesium from 
Canada.
    During the last anniversary month, the Department failed to note 
that we received a timely request to revoke in part the antidumping 
duty order on Canned Pineapple from Thailand (67 FR 55000). In 
addition, the Department received from the same party a request to 
defer for one year the initiation of the July 1, 2001 through June 30, 
2002 adminstrative review of this exporter in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(c). The Department received no objection to this request from 
any party pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(c)(1)(ii).

Initiation of Reviews

    In accordance with sections 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are 
initiating administrative reviews of the following antidumping and 
countervailing duty orders and findings. We intend to issue the final 
results of these reviews not later than August 31, 2003. On August 27, 
2002, (67 FR 55000) the Department inadvertently initiated an 
administrative review with respect to one exporter of Canned Pineapple 
Fruit from Thailand. We are now rescinding that review and, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(c), deferring for one year the 
initiation of the July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002 administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on Canned Pineapple Fruit from 
Thailand with respect to that exporter.
