The Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), are references to the provisions effective 
January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act 
by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). In addition, unless

Background

    On September 3, 2002, the Department published a notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on stainless steel wire rod (SSWR) from Spain (67 FR 56267).
    Pursuant to a request made by Carpenter Technology Corp. (the 
petitioner), the Department initiated an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on SSWR from Spain for the period September 1, 
2001, through August 31, 2002 on October 18, 2002 (67 FR 65336)(October 
24, 2002)). On December 6, 2002, the petitioner withdrew its request 
for the administrative review of SSWR from Spain.

Rescission of Review

    Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations provides that 
a party that requests an administrative review may withdraw the request 
within 90 days after the date of publication of the notice of 
initiation of the requested administrative review. The Department is 
rescinding the administrative review of the order on SSWR from Spain 
for the period September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2002 because the 
requesting party has withdrawn its request for this administrative 
review within the 90-day time limit and no other interested parties 
have requested a review of SSWR from Spain for this time period.
    This notice is in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 31, 2002.
Bernard T. Carreau,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
