Background

    On July 31, 2002, Indorama, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), 
requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
furfuryl alcohol from Thailand. On August 27, 2002, in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of this 
order for the period July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2002 (67 FR 55000). 
On October 18, 2002, Indorama withdrew its request for this review.

Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide that 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of 
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review, or withdraws its request at a later date if the Department 
determines that it is reasonable to extend the time limit for 
withdrawing the request. Indorama was the only party to request this 
review and it withdrew its request within the 90-day period. 
Accordingly, this review is rescinded.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 751 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675) and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 30, 2002.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
