SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 11, 1995, the Department published in the Federal 
Register an antidumping duty order on OCTG from Korea (60 FR 41057). On 
August 30, 2002, SeAH and Husteel each filed a timely request that the 
Department conduct an administrative review of its respective sales. No 
other parties requested a review of SeAH or Husteel. On September 25, 
2002, the Department initiated an administrative review of SeAH and 
Husteel under the antidumping duty order on OCTG from Korea. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 67 FR 60210 (September 25, 2002). In accordance with section 
351.213(d)(1) of the regulations, Husteel timely withdrew its request 
for review on October 16, 2002 and SeAH timely withdrew its request for 
review on November 25, 2002.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to our section 351.213(d)(1) of the 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.'' Since 
the only parties that requested and administrative review timely 
withdrew their request for review, we are rescinding this 
administrative review for the period August 1, 2001, to July 31, 2002, 
for SeAH and for the period August 1, 2002, to July 31, 2002, for 
Husteel. The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions 
to the U.S. Customs Service.

    Dated: January 31, 2003.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group III.
