Notice of Rescission, in Part, of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review: Stainless Steel Bar from Germany.

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 28, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Audrey Twyman or Andrew Smith, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 
20230; telephone (202) 482-3534 and 202-482-1276, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') received timely 
requests for an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
stainless steel bar from Germany with respect to Stahlwerk Ergste 
Westig GmbH and Ergste Westig South Carolina (collectively ``SEW''), 
and BGH Edelstahl Freital GmbH, BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH, BGH 
Edelstahl Lippendorf GmbH, and BGH Edelstahl Lugau GmbH (collectively 
``BGH''). On April 22, 2005, the Department published the initiation of 
an administrative review of SEW and BGH, covering the period March 1, 
2004, through February 28, 2005. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 20862 (April 22, 
2005). On June 14, 2005, SEW timely withdrew its request for an 
administrative review. SEW's request was the only request for an 
administrative review of SEW's U.S. sales.

Rescission, in Part, of the Administrative 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.'' 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 
Since SEW submitted a timely withdrawal of its request for review, and 
since this was the only request for a review of SEW, the Department is 
rescinding its antidumping administrative review of SEW in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Based on this rescission, the administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from 
Germany covering the period March 1, 2004, through February 28, 2005, 
now covers only BGH.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. 
Antidumping duties for this rescinded company shall be assessed at 
rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties 
required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for 
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 
will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 
15 days of publication of this notice.
    We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in 
accordance with section 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 
and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: June 22, 2005.
Barbara E. Tillman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
