SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 2, 2003, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on industrial nitrocellulose from the 
United Kingdom covering the period July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003 
(68 FR 39511, 39512).
    On August 19, 2003, pursuant to a request by the petitioner, Green 
Tree Chemical Technologies, Inc. (Green Tree), the Department initiated 
an administrative review of Imperial Chemical Industries PLC (ICI) and 
Troon Investments Limited (TIL), which are subject to the antidumping 
duty order on industrial nitrocellulose from the United Kingdom, for 
the period July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003. See Initiation of 
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request 
for Revocation in Part, 68 FR 50750, 50752 (August 22, 2003). On 
October 31, 2003, Green Tree withdrew its request for an administrative 
review of ICI and TIL.

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. Since the notice of 
initiation of this administrative review was published on August 22, 
2003, and Green Tree, the party requesting this administrative review, 
withdrew its request for review within 90 days after the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation, the Department is rescinding 
the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on industrial 
nitrocellulose from the United Kingdom for the period July 1, 2002 
through June 30, 2003, in accordance with section 351.213(d)(1) of the 
Department's regulations.

Act of 1930, as amended, and section 351.213(d)(4) of the Department's 
regulations.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for Import Administration.
