SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 1, 2009, 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 plate in coils from Belgium for the period of review (POR), May 
1, 2008, through April 30, 2009. See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 
Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request 
Administrative Review, 74 FR 20278 (May 1, 2009).
    On June 1, 2009, in accordance with 19 CFR Sec.  351.213(b), the 
Department received a timely request from ArcelorMittal Stainless 
Belgium N.V. (AMS Belgium) to conduct an administrative review of AMS 
Belgium. AMS Belgium was the only party to request this administrative 
review.
    On June 24, 2009, the Department published in the Federal Register 
a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from Belgium covering one 
respondent, AMS Belgium. See Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocation 
in Part, 74 FR 30052 (June 24, 2009).
    On September 22, 2009, AMS Belgium timely withdrew its request for 
review. Thus, we are rescinding this administrative review.

Rescission of Administrative Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR Sec.  351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind 
an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. On 
September 22, 2009, AMS Belgium withdrew its request for an 
administrative review. AMS Belgium withdrew its request before the 90-
day deadline, and no other party requested an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from 
Belgium for the POR. Therefore, in response to AMS Belgium's withdrawal 
of its request for review, and pursuant to 19 CFR Sec.  351.213(d)(1), 
the Department rescinds the administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from Belgium 
for the period May 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR Sec.  351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
an APO in accordance with 19 CFR Sec.  351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion 
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply 
with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We have been enjoined from liquidating entries of the subject 
merchandise produced and exported by Ugine & ALZ Belgium N.V (U&A 
Belgium). Therefore, we do not intend to issue liquidation instructions 
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for entries made during the 
period May 1, 2008, through April 30, 2009, until such time the 
preliminary injunction issued on January 16, 2009, is lifted.
    This notice is in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR Sec.  251.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 7, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
