Background

    On October 1, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on polyvinyl alcohol (``PVA'') from the 
People's Republic of China (``PRC''). See Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation: Opportunity to Request 
Administrative Review, 72 FR 55741 (October 1, 2007). On October 30, 
2007, E.I. Dupont de Nemours and Co. and Celanese Chemicals, Ltd. 
(``Petitioners'') requested that the Department conduct an 
administrative review of Sinopec Vinylon Works (``SVW''). The 
Department published a notice of initiation of the antidumping duty 
administrative review of PVA from the PRC for the period October 1, 
2006, through September 30, 2007. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for Revocation 
in Part, 72 FR 65938 (November 26, 2007).

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On 
February 15, 2008, 2007, Petitioners timely withdrew their request for 
an administrative review of SVW within 90 days of the publication of 
the notice of initiation of this review. Therefore, in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department hereby rescinds the administrative 
review of PVA from the PRC for the period October 1, 2006, through 
September 30, 2007. The Department intends to issue assessment 
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after the 
publication of this notice of rescission of administrative review.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: February 29, 2008.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
