SUMMARY: On July 1, 2003, in response to a request made by Considar, an 
importer of the subject merchandise, the Department of Commerce 
(``Department'') published a notice of initiation of an antidumping 
duty administrative review of silicomanganese from Kazakhstan, for the 
period of review (``POR'') November 9, 2001 through April 30, 2003. 
Because Considar has withdrawn its request for review, and there were 
no other requests for review for this time period, the Department is 
rescinding this review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James C. Doyle, Enforcement Group III,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 28, 2003, Considar, an exporter of the subject 
merchandise, requested that the Department conduct an administrative 
review of its sales for the period November 9, 2001 through April 30, 
2003. Considar was the only interested party to request a review for 
this time period. On July 1, 2003, the Department published a notice of 
initiation of the antidumping administrative review of silicomanganese 
from Kazakhstan, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i). See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews and Requests for Revocations in Part, 68 FR 39055 (July 1, 
2003). On July 17, 2003, the Department amended the initiation notice. 
See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part; Correction, 
68 FR 42373 (July 17, 2003). On September 29, 2003, Considar withdrew 
its request for review.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to the Department's 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.'' See 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1). Considar, the only interested party to request an 
administrative review for this time period, withdrew its request for 
this review within the 90-day time limit; accordingly, we are 
rescinding the administrative review for the period November 9, 2001 
through April 30, 2003, and will issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.
    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation. This determination is issued in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4) and section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.

    Dated: October 14, 2003.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
