Background

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), on June 30, 2004, United 
States Steel Corporation requested an administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order for JFE Steel Corporation, Nippon Steel 
Corporation, NKK Tubes, and Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. on certain 
large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure 
pipe from Japan. On July 28, 2004, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), we published the initiation of an administrative 
review of this order for the period June 1, 2003, through May 31, 2004. 
See Initiation Notice. On September 27, 2004, United States Steel 
Corporation timely withdrew its request for an administrative review of 
certain large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and 
pressure pipe from Japan.

Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide that 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of 
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review, or withdraws its request at a later date if the Department 
determines that it is reasonable to extend the time limit for 
withdrawing the request. United States Steel Corporation withdrew its 
request within the 90-day period and was the only party to request this 
review. Accordingly, we are rescinding this review. The Department will 
issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Border and Customs 
Protection within 15 days of publication of this notice.
