-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In response to a request by respondent Ta Chen Stainless Pipe

rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
certain welded stainless steel pipe from Taiwan (A-583-815). This
review covered one manufacturer/exporter of the subject merchandise to
the United States during the period December 1, 1996 through November
30, 1997.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 1, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert James at (202) 482-5222 or John

Enforcement Group III, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.
Applicable Statute and Regulations: Unless otherwise indicated, all
citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), are
to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the
amendments made to the Tariff Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.
In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the
Department's regulations are to the regulations codified at 19 CFR part
351 (62 FR 27296, May 19, 1997).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 5, 1996, the Department published its notice of
``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' for the period
December 1, 1996 through November 30, 1997 (62 FR 64353). In accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(b) (1997), respondent Ta Chen requested that we
conduct a review of Ta Chen's sales. On January 26, 1998, we published
in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of this antidumping duty
administrative review covering the period December 1, 1996 through
November 30, 1997 (63 FR 3702).
By letter dated February 23, 1998, Ta Chen withdrew its request for
administrative review. Section 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's
regulations provides for the rescission of antidumping duty
administrative reviews if a party that requested the review withdraws
that request within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of
initiation of review. See 19 CFR 353.213(d)(1) (62 FR 27295, 27393, May
19, 1997). As no other interested party requested the administrative
review, and as Ta Chen's request falls within the 90-day time limit
provided for withdrawing requests for review, the Department is
rescinding this administrative review, in accordance with section
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)), and 353.213(d)(4).
Dated: March 24, 1998.

Deputy Assistant Secretary Enforcement Group III.
