SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department of Commerce (the Department) published an
antidumping duty finding on melamine from Japan on February 2, 1977 (42
FR 6866). On February 3, 1997, the Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of ``Opportunity to Request an Administrative
Review'' of the antidumping duty finding on melamine from Japan (62 FR
4978). On February 7, 1997, an importer, Taiyo America, Inc., requested
an administrative review of two producers/exporters of the subject
merchandise to the United States. In accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(c),
we initiated the review on March 18, 1997 (62 FR 12793) covering the
period of February 1, 1996 through January 31, 1997. On September 2,
1997, the importer withdrew its request for administrative review.
Termination of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5) of the Department's regulations,
the Department may allow a party that requests an administrative review
to withdraw such request not later than 90 days after the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the administrative review.
The Department may extend this time limit if the Department decides it
is reasonable to do so.
This request for withdrawal was made early in the review process
and there were no requests for review from other interested parties.
Therefore, the Department is terminating this review.
This notice is in accordance with section 353.22(a)(5) of the
Department's regulations (19 CFR 353.22(a)(5)).
This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility
concerning disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO
in accordance with Sec. 353.34(d) of the Department's regulations.
Timely written notification of the return or 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.
Dated: October 30, 1997.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II Import Administration.
