SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 1, 2003, the Department of Commerce (Department) published 
in the Federal Register (68 FR 23281) a notice of opportunity to 
request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
frozen concentrated orange juice from Brazil for the period May 1, 
2002, through April 30, 2003.
    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), on May 30, 2003, the 
petitioners (i.e., Florida Citrus Mutual, Citrus Belle, Citrus World, 
Inc., Orange-Co of Florida, Inc., Peace River Citrus Products, Inc., 
and Southern Gardens Citrus Processors Corp.) requested a review of 
this order with respect to the following producers/exporters: Branco 
Peres Citrus S.A. (Branco Peres), Citrovita Agro Industrial Ltda. and 
its affiliated parties Cambuhy MC Industrial Ltda. and Cambuhy Citrus 
Comercial e Exportadora (collectively ``Citrovita''), CTM Citrus S.A. 
(CTM), and Sucorrico S.A. (Sucorrico).
    The Department initiated an administrative review for Branco Peres, 
Citrovita, CTM, and Sucorrico and

[[Page 49434]]

issued questionnaires to them in July 2003. See 68 FR 39055 ( July 1, 
2003).
    Branco Peres, Citrovita, CTM, and Sucorrico notified the Department 
that neither they nor any of their affiliates had any sales or exports 
of subject merchandise during the period of review (POR). The 
Department confirmed these companies' statements with the Bureau of 
Customs and Border Protection (BCBP). Accordingly, we notified the 
petitioners that we intended to rescind this administrative review with 
respect to all four respondents and they did not object. See July 21, 
2003, memorandum from Alice Gibbons to the file entitled, ``Intent to 
Rescind the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review on Frozen 
Concentrated Orange Juice from Brazil.''

Rescission of Review

    Because Branco Peres, CTM, Citrovita, and Sucorrico had no 
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(3) and consistent with our practice, we are rescinding 
this review of the antidumping duty order on frozen concentrated orange 
juice from Brazil for the period of May 1, 2002, through April 30, 
2003. This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: August 12, 2003.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
