SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216(b), Weyerhaeuser, a Canadian 
producer of softwood lumber products, filed a request for a changed 
circumstances review of the antidumping duty order on certain softwood 
lumber products from Canada. On January 19, 2006, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.221(c)(3), we published the initiation of a changed 
circumstances review of this order. See Initiation Notice. On March 6, 
2006, Weyerhaeuser withdrew its request for a changed circumstances 
review.

Rescission of Changed Circumstances Review

    The Department's regulations provide that the Department will 
rescind an administrative review if the party that requested the review 
withdraws the request within ninety days of the date

[[Page 16121]]

of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. 
Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations regarding review 
request withdrawals does not specifically reference changed 
circumstances administrative reviews. In this case, Weyerhaeuser 
withdrew its request for a changed circumstances review within ninety 
days of the review being initiated, the time period the Department 
generally considers reasonable for withdrawing requests for 
administrative reviews. Therefore, the Department has accepted 
Weyerhaeuser's withdrawal request in this case as timely.\1\

    The Department is now rescinding this antidumping duty changed 
circumstances review. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue 
to suspend entries of subject merchandise at the appropriate cash 
deposit rate for all entries of certain softwood lumber products from 
Canada.
    This notice also 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 notice is issued and published in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4) and section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.
