SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 10, 2001, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a countervailing duty order on honey from Argentina. See 
Notice of Countervailing Duty Orders: Honey from Argentina, 66 FR 63673 
(December 10, 2001). On December 30, 2004, Petitioners requested an 
administrative review of the countervailing duty order for honey from 
Argentina produced/exported during the period January 1, 2004, through 
December 31, 2004. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we 
published a notice of initiation of the review on January 31, 2004. See 
Initiation Notice. On February 22, 2005, Petitioners withdrew their 
request for review.

Rescission of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review

    The Department's regulations at 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) provide that 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if a party that 
requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Petitioners withdrew their request for an administrative review on 
February 22, 2005, which is within the 90-day deadline. No other party 
requested a review of the order. Therefore, the Department is 
rescinding this administrative review for the period January 1, 2004, 
through December 31, 2004.
    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) to liquidate shipments of honey from Argentina entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 2004 
and on or before December 31, 2004 at the cash deposit rate in effect 
on the date of entry.
