SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 3, 2004, the Department of Commerce (Department) published 
in the Federal Register (69 FR 24117) 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, 
2003, through April 30, 2004.
    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), on May 28, 2004, the 
petitioners (i.e., Florida Citrus Mutual; A. Duda & Sons, Inc. (a.k.a. 
Citrus Belle); Citrus World, Inc.; and Peace River Citrus Products, 
Inc.) requested a review of this order with respect to the following 
producers/exporters: Branco Peres Citrus, S.A. (Branco Peres) and 
Citrovita Agro Industrial, Ltda. and its affiliated parties Cambuhy MC 
Industrial Ltda. and Cambuhy Citrus Comercial e Exportadora 
(collectively ``Citrovita'').
    The Department initiated an administrative review for Branco Peres 
and Citrovita and issued questionnaires to them on June 8, 2004. See 69 
FR 39409 (June 30, 2004).
    Branco Peres and Citrovita 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 U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection. Accordingly, we notified the petitioners that we intended 
to rescind this administrative review with respect to both respondents 
and they did not object. See July 16, 2004, 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 and Citrovita 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, 2003, through April 30, 2004. 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: July 22, 2004.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Group I.
