SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), on June 30, 2004, Solvay 
requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
granular polytetrafluoroethylene from Italy. On September 22, 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 August 1, 2003, 
through July 31, 2004. See Initiation Notice. On October 14, 2004, 
Solvay timely withdrew its request for an administrative review of 
granular polytetrafluoroethylene from Italy.

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. Solvay 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. Customs and Border Protection within 15 
days of publication of this notice.
    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their
