SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the
Federal Register on November 7, 1997 (62 FR 60219) a ``Notice of
Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty
order on fresh garlic from the People's Republic of China (59 FR 59209,
November 16, 1994). On November 18, 1997, Fook Huat Tong Kee Pte. Ltd.
(FHTK), the respondent, requested an administrative review of imports
of its merchandise into the United States. The Department initiated the
review on December 23, 1997 (62 FR 67044).
Documentation we received from the Customs Service subsequent to
the initiation of the review demonstrated that, although Customs
received importation documentation for the shipment of the subject
merchandise, this shipment did not result in a reviewable entry or sale
within the period of review. Therefore, we are rescinding the
initiation of this review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). For
further information regarding this recission, see the decision
memorandum entitled ``Whether to Rescind the 96/97 Administrative
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Fresh Garlic from the People's
Republic of China,'' from Laurie Parkhill to Richard W. Moreland dated
July 6, 1998.
The cash-deposit rate for FHTK will remain at 376.67 percent, the
rate established in the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding (59 FR 59029, November 16,1994). This notice is in
accordance with section 777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.
Dated: July 6, 1998.
Richard W. Moreland,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
