Background

    On June 1, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review on the 
antidumping order on non-frozen apple juice concentrate from the PRC 
\1\ for the POR June 1, 2009, through May 31, 2010. See Antidumping or 
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation; 
Opportunity To Request Administrative Review, 75 FR 30383, 30384 (June 
1, 2010). Based upon requests for review from various parties, on July 
28, 2010, the Department initiated an antidumping duty administrative 
review on non-frozen apple juice concentrate from the PRC, covering two 
companies. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews and Requests for Revocations in Part, 75 FR 
44224, 44226 (July 28, 2010). Due to the probable revocation of the 
Order, SLFI and Qin'an withdrew their requests for review on November 8 
and November 9, 2010, respectively.\2\ The Order was revoked on 
November 15, 2010. See Non-Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate From the 
People's Republic of China: Final Results of Sunset Review and 
Revocation of Order, 75 FR 69628 (November 15, 2010). Due to timely 
withdrawals of all requests for review, we are rescinding this 
administrative review with respect to all companies.

Rescission of Review

    The applicable regulation, 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), states that if a 
party that requested an administrative review withdraws the request 
within 90 days of the publication of the notice of initiation of the 
requested review, the Secretary will rescind the review. The regulation 
further states that the Secretary may extend the deadline if it is 
reasonable to do so. On October 21, 2010, the Department extended the 
deadline for withdrawal of administrative review requests by 20 days 
for both respondents due to the pending revocation of the Order. \3\ 
The two respondents in the administrative review, SLFI and Qin'an, 
withdrew their requests for a review before the deadline. Therefore, 
the Department is rescinding this review of the Order on non-frozen 
apple juice concentrate from the PRC covering the period June 1, 2009, 
through May 31, 2010.
