from Pohang Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., Pohang Coated Steel Co., Ltd.,
Pohang Steel Industries Co., Ltd., Union Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd.,
and Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. (respondents), the Department of Commerce
(the Department) initiated administrative reviews of the countervailing
duty orders on cold-rolled carbon steel flat-rolled products and
corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat-rolled products from the Republic
of Korea, for the period January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997. In

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Applicable Statute and Regulations
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are
references to the provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) effective January 1, 1995 (the
Act). In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the
Department's regulations are to the current regulations as codified at
19 CFR Part 351 (1998).
Background
On August 31, 1998, the Department received requests for
administrative reviews of these countervailing duty orders from the
respondents for the period January 1, 1997, through December 31, 1997.
No other interested party requested reviews of these countervailing
duty orders. On September 29, 1998, the Department published in the
Federal Register (63 FR 51893) a notice of ``Initiation of
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review'' initiating the
administrative reviews of respondents for that period. On November 24,
1998, respondents withdrew their requests for reviews.
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this case, respondents have withdrawn their requests for reviews within
the 90-day period. No other interested party requested a review and we
have received no other submissions regarding respondents' withdrawal of
their requests for reviews. Therefore, we are terminating these reviews
of the countervailing duty orders on cold-rolled carbon steel flat-
rolled products and corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat-rolled
products from the Republic of 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 7, 1998.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement Group II.
