2007) (Preliminary Results). We are rescinding the review with respect

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Preliminary Results, the Department

Results. On December 28, 2006, the petitioners\1\ timely withdrew their 
request for an administrative review of the POSCO Group. It is the 
Department's practice to rescind an administrative review in a timely 
manner, in whole or part, if no other interested party submitted 
comments regarding the petitioners' timely withdrawal of their request 
for a review. See Notice of Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty

To facilitate the timely implementation of customs instructions, we are 
rescinding the review of the antidumping order for the POSCO Group.

Final Rescission of Administrative Review for the POSCO Group

    As provided in 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), ``{t{time} he Secretary will 
rescind an administrative review under this section, in whole or in 
part, if a party that requested a review withdraws the request within 
90 days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of the 
requested review.'' The petitioners withdrew their request for an 
administrative review within 90 days of the date of publication of the 
notice of initiation of the instant administrative review and no other 
party requested an administrative review of the POSCO Group. No party 
commented on the petitioners' withdrawal. Therefore, the Department is 
rescinding the administrative review with respect to the POSCO Group.

    Dated: October 2, 2007.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
