SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 2, 2007, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register a notice of ``Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty order on stainless 
steel bar from France for the period March 1, 2006, through February

the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from France with 
respect to these companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 72 FR 20986 (April 27, 
2007).

Partial Rescission of Review

    On May 24, 2007, Ugitech timely withdrew its request for an 
administrative review of its sales during the above-referenced period. 
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested 
the review withdraws the request within ninety days of the date of 
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. Because 
Ugitech has withdrawn its request for review within the 90-day period 
and no other party requested a review of Ugitech, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review with respect to 
Ugitech.
    The Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after the 
publication of this notice. The Department will direct CBP to assess 
antidumping duties at the cash deposit rate in effect on the date of 
entry for entries during the period March 1, 2006, through February 28, 
2007.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: June 11, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
