AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to a request from Carpenter Technology 
Corporation, Dunkirk Specialty Steel, LLC (a subsidiary of Universal 
Stainless & Alloy Products) and North American Stainless (the 
``Domestic Interested Parties''), domestic producers of stainless steel 
wire rod, the Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') initiated an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel 
wire rod from Taiwan. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews, 70 FR 61601 (October 25, 2005) 
(``Initiation Notice''). The period of review (``POR'') is September 1, 
2004, through August 31, 2005. The Department is now rescinding this 
review because the Domestic Interested Parties have withdrawn their 
request.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 21, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Malcolm A. Burke or Howard Smith at 
(202) 482-3584 or (202) 482-5193, respectively; AD/CVD Operations,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 1, 2005, the Department published a notice of 
``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the antidumping 
duty order on stainless steel wire rod from Taiwan. See Antidumping or 
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; 
Opportunity to Request Administrative Review, 70 FR 52072 (September 1, 
2005). On September 30, 2005, the Department received a timely request 
from the Domestic Interested Parties to conduct an administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel wire rod from 
Taiwan with respect to Walsin Lihwa Corporation and any of its 
affiliates for the POR. On October 25, 2005, the Department initiated 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless 
steel wire rod from Taiwan for the POR, and published a notice of 
initiation in the Federal Register. See Initiation Notice. On December 
13, 2005, the Domestic Interested Parties withdrew their request for an 
administrative review.

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR Sec. 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind 
an administrative review if a party that requested a review withdraws 
its request within 90 days of the publication date of the notice of 
initiation thereof. Because the Domestic Interested Parties withdrew 
their review request within the 90-day time limit and no other party 
requested a review, the Department is rescinding this review. The 
Department will issue appropriate instructions directly to U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility, under 19 CFR Sec. 351.402(f)(2), to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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 Sec. 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR Sec. 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: February 14, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
