SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 2, 2002, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (67 FR 61849) a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping order regarding extruded 
rubber thread from Malaysia for the period October 1, 2001, through 
September 30, 2002. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(2), on October 
31, 2002, one producer/exporter of extruded rubber thread (i.e., 
Heveafil Sdn. Bhd. and Filmax Sdn. Bhd. (collectively ``Heveafil'')) 
requested a review of the antidumping duty order on extruded rubber 
thread from Malaysia.
    On November 22, 2002, the Department initiated an administrative 
review for this company (67 FR 70402) and issued it a questionnaire. 
Heveafil requested an extension to respond to the questionnaire on 
December 10, 2002, which the Department granted.
    On January 13, 2003, Heveafil withdrew its request for review.

Rescission of Review

    Heveafil withdrew its request for an administrative review for the 
above-referenced period on January 13, 2003. Therefore, because no 
other interested party requested a review for this period

1, 2001, through September 30, 2002. This notice is published in 
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and
