SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 2, 2003, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel wire rod (SSWR) from 
Spain. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or 
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 
(68 FR 52181).
    Pursuant to a request made by Carpenter Technology Corp. (the 
petitioner), on November 18, 2003, the Department initiated an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on SSWR from Spain 
for the period September 1, 2002, through August 31, 2003. See 
Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Reviews, 68 FR 66799 (November 28, 2003).
    On December 8, 2003, the petitioner withdrew its request for the 
administrative review of the order on SSWR from Spain.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review if a party that requested the review withdraws 
its request within 90 days of the date on which the notice announcing 
the initiation of the requested review was published. The Department is 
rescinding the administrative review of the order on SSWR from Spain 
for the period September 1, 2002, through August 31, 2003, because the 
petitioner withdrew its request for this administrative review within 
the 90-day time limit and no other interested parties requested a 
review of the order on SSWR from Spain for the period September 1, 
2002, through August 31, 2003.
    This notice is in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Act and 
19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: December 24, 2003.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for Import Administration.
