RESCISSION OF REVIEW:

    Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations provide that 
the Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of 
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review, or withdraws its request at a later date if the Department 
determines that it is reasonable to extend the time limit for 
withdrawing the request. Truper properly withdrew its request before 
the 90-day deadline. Therefore, we are rescinding this review of the 
antidumping duty order on Heavy Forged Hand Tools, With or Without 
Handles from the PRC covering the period February 1, 2007, through 
January 31, 2008. The Department intends to issue assessment 
instructions to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') 15 
days after publication of this rescission notice. The Department will 
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties at rates equal to the cash 
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, 
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).

NOTIFICATION REGARDING ADMINISTRATIVE PROTECTIVE ORDERS (``APOs''):

this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the 
return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial 
protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the
