Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On May 27, 2004, in response to timely requests from 
respondents subject to the order on certain automotive replacement 
glass (``ARG'') windshields from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''), in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (``the Act''), the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of this 
antidumping duty administrative review of sales by certain exporters/
producers. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation in Part, 69 FR 30282

the petitioners did not request an administrative review of these 
exporters, the Department is rescinding this review of sales by 
Dongguan Kongwan, Peaceful City, and Fuyao in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1). The Department is now publishing its determination to 
rescind the review of sales of subject merchandise by Dongguan Kongwan,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 4, 2002, the Department published in the Federal Register 
the antidumping duty order on ARG windshields from PRC. See Antidumping 
Duty Order: Automotive Replacement Glass Windshields From the People's 
Republic of China, 67 FR 16087 (April 4, 2002). On April 1, 2004, the 
Department published a notice of opportunity to request an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on ARG windshields 
from the PRC for the period April 1, 2003, through March 31, 2004. See 
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended 
Investigation: Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 69 FR 
17129 (April 1, 2004). On April 24, 2004, Dongguan Kongwan and Peaceful 
City requested an administrative review of its sales to the United 
States during the period of review (``POR''). On April 26, 2004, Fuyao 
requested an administrative review of its sales to the United States 
during the POR. The petitioners in the original investigation did not 
request an administrative review of any parties. On May 27, 2004, the 
Department published in the Federal Register a notice of the initiation 
of the antidumping duty administrative review of ARG from the PRC for 
the period April 1, 2003 through March 31, 2004. See Initiation Notice.
    On June 14, 2003, the Department issued antidumping duty 
questionnaires to the respondents, including Dongguan Kongwan, Peaceful 
City, and Fuyao. On July 8, 2004, Fuyao submitted a letter to the 
Department withdrawing its request for an administrative review of 
sales and entries of subject merchandise it exported. On July 12, 2004, 
Dongguan Kongwan and Peaceful City submitted a letter to the Department 
withdrawing their requests for an administrative review of sales and 
entries of subject merchandise which they exported.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a 
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of notice of initiation of requested review. Dongguan Kongwan, Peaceful 
City, and Fuyao withdrew their respective requests for review within 
the 90-day time limit and no other party requested reviews with respect 
to these companies. Accordingly, we are rescinding this administrative 
review as to those companies and will issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection with 
respect to exports from Dongguan Kongwan, Peaceful City, and Fuyao for 
the period April 1, 2003, through March 31, 2004. The Department will 
continue its review of other exporters/producers as announced in the 
Initiation Notice. See 69 FR 30282.
    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to
