SUMMARY: In response to a request made by Border Steel, an importer of 
the subject merchandise, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
initiated an administrative review of the

[[Page 30927]]

antidumping duty order on silicomanganese from the People's Republic of 
China (``PRC'') for sales made by Yonghe Metal Co., Ltd./Sichuan Huaxin 
Iron Alloy Co. Ltd. (``Yonghe Metal''), producer and exporter of the 
subject merchandise. Because Border Steel has withdrawn its request for 
an administrative review, and there were no other requests for an 
administrative review for this time period, the Department is 
rescinding this administrative review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 30, 2004, Border Steel, an importer of the subject 
merchandise, requested the Department to conduct an administrative 
review of sales made by Yonghe Metal for the period December 1, 2003, 
through November 30, 2004. Border Steel was the only interested party 
to request a review for this period. On January 31, 2005, the 
Department published a notice of initiation of the antidumping 
administrative review of silicomanganese from the PRC, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i). See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocations 
in Part, 70 FR 4818 (January 31, 2005). On March 25, 2005, Border Steel 
withdrew its request for review.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to the Department's regulations, the Department will 
rescind an administrative review ``if a party that requested the review 
withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of 
notice of initiation of the requested review.'' See 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1). Border Steel, the only interested party to request an 
administrative review for this time period, withdrew its request for 
this review within the 90-day time limit; accordingly, we are 
rescinding the administrative review for the period December 1, 2003, 
through November 30, 2004, and will issue appropriate assessment 
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This determination is issued in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4) and section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.

    Dated: May 18, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
