SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act). In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the 
Department's regulations are to the provisions codified at 19 CFR Part

Background

    On May 6, 2002, the Department published a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
stainless steel plate in coils from Belgium. See Antidumping or 
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; 
Opportunity To Request Administrative Review (67 FR 30356). On May 31, 
2002, the Department received a timely request from one respondent, 
ALZ, for an administrative review covering the period from May 1, 2001 
through April 30, 2002, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1).
    The Department published a notice of initiation of this antidumping 
duty administrative review on June 25, 2002. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 67 FR 42753 (June 25, 2002). This review covers 
one manufacturer/exporter of the subject merchandise, ALZ, for the 
period of June 1, 2000 through May 31, 2001. On September 23, 2002, ALZ 
withdrew its request for review, in accordance with section 
351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations.

Rescission, in Whole, of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

    Pursuant to our 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). Since 
ALZ, the only respondent in this proceeding, submitted a timely 
withdrawal of its request for review, the Department is rescinding its 
antidumping administrative review on stainless steel plate in coils 
from Belgium for the period May 1, 2001 through April 30, 2002. The 
Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions to the 
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 and notice are issued and published in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) and sections 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: October 10, 2002.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
