SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 2, 2006, the Department published in the Federal Register 
(71 FR 10642) a notice of ``Opportunity To Request Administrative 
Review'' of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from 
France for the period March 1, 2005, through February 28, 2006. On 
March 31, 2006, Ugitech S.A. (Ugitech) requested an administrative 
review of its U.S. sales that were subject to the antidumping duty 
order on stainless steel bar from France for this period. On April 28, 
2006, the Department published a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel 
bar from France with respect to this company. See Notice of Initiation 
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 71 FR 
25145 (April 28, 2006).

Rescission of Review

    On May 2, 2006, Ugitech timely withdrew its request for an 
administrative review of its sales during the above-referenced period. 
Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations stipulates that 
the Secretary will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requests a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. In this 
case, Ugitech has withdrawn its request for review within the 90-day 
period. Ugitech was the sole party to request the initiation of the 
review. Therefore, we are rescinding this review of the antidumping 
duty order on stainless steel bar from France.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: June 7, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
