SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 2, 2002, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on barium chorloride from the People's 
Republic of China (PRC) (67 FR 61849). Pursuant to a request made by 
Chemical Products Corporation (the petitioner), the Department 
initiated an administrative review of the antidumpimg duty order on 
barium chloride from the PRC for the period October 1, 2001, through 
September 30, 2002, on November 18, 2002 (67 FR 70402); (November 22, 
2002). On January 7, 2003, the petitioner withdrew its request for the 
administrative review of barium chloride from the PRC.

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 barium chloride 
from the PRC for the period October 1, 2001, through September 30, 
2002, because the requesting party has withdrawn its request for this 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 barium chloride from the 
PRC 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: February 20, 2003.
