SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The notice announcing the antidumping duty order on welded carbon 
steel pipes and tubes from India was published on May 12, 1986 (51 FR 
17384). On May 30, 2003, we received a request for a new shipper review 
of the antidumping duty order on welded carbon steel pipes and tubes 
from India from Surya Roshni Ltd. (Surya). Pursuant to section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 
CFR 351.214(d)(1), we initiated a new shipper review on July 3, 2003, 
for shipments of welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from India 
produced and exported by Surya (68 FR 39897). Surya withdrew its 
request for a new shipper review on August 25, 2003.

Rescission of New Shipper Review

    Section 19 CFR 351.214(f)(1) provides that the Department of 
Commerce may rescind a new shipper review if the party that requested 
the review withdraws its request for review within sixty days of the 
date of publication of

the notice of initiation of the requested review. Surya withdrew its 
request within the 60-day period. Accordingly, we are rescinding this 
new shipper review.

shipments of welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from India produced
