ACTION: Notice of Recission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review.

SUMMARY: In response to a request from respondents, the Department of
Commerce (``the Department'') initiated an administrative review of
SeAH Steel Corporation, Ltd. (``SeAH''), on October 1, 1999. The review
covered one manufacturer/exporter of the subject merchandise to the
United States, SeAH and its U.S. sales subsidiaries (Pusan Pipe
America, Inc. and State Pipe & Supply Co.). The period of review is
August 1, 1998 through July 31, 1999. The Department received a request
for withdrawal on December 3, 1999 from respondent. In accordance with
19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is now terminating this review
because the respondent has withdrawn its request for review and no
other interested parties have requested a review.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 4, 2000.

Background
On August 11, 1995, the Department published in the Federal
Register (60 FR 41058) the antidumping duty order on oil country
tubular goods from Korea. The Department of Commerce published in the
Federal Register a notice of ``Opportunity To Request Administrative
Review'' of the antidumping duty order for the 1998-1999 review period
on August 11, 1999 (64 FR 43649). On August 31, 1999, SeAH requested an
administrative review for its entries during the 1998-1999 period of
review. No other interested party requested review of this antidumping
duty order. On October 1, 1999, in accordance with Section 751 of the
Act, the Department initiated the review (64 FR 53318). On December 3,
1999 respondent withdrew its request for review.
Section 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations
stipulates that the Secretary may permit a party that requests a review
to withdraw the request not later than 90 days after the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In
this case, respondent has withdrawn its request for review within the
90-day period. No other interested party requested a review and we have
received no other submissions regarding respondent's withdrawal of its
request for review. Therefore, we are terminating this review of the
antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods from Korea.
This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act
and section 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations.
Dated: December 28, 1999.
Richard O. Weible,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
