[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 210 (Tuesday, October 29, 1996)] [Notices] [Pages 55786-55787] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-27627] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-533-809] Certain Forged Stainless Steel Flanges From India; Notice of Termination of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. ACTION: Notice of termination of antidumping duty administrative review. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On March 19, 1996, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register (61 FR 11184) a notice announcing the initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain forged stainless steel flanges from India, covering the period February 1, 1995, through January 31, 1996, and one manufacturer/ exporter of the subject merchandise, Akai Impex Ltd. (Akai). This review has now been terminated as a result of the withdrawal of the request for administrative review by the interested party. EFFECTIVE DATE: October 29, 1996. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas Killiam or John Kugelman, AD/ CVD Enforcement, Group III, Import Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C. 20230, telephone (202) 482-2704 or 482-0649, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On February 29, 1996, we received a request from Akai to conduct an administrative review pursuant to section 353.22(a) of the Department's regulations. No other interested party requested this review. On March 19, 1996, we published in the Federal Register (61 FR 11184) the notice of initiation of administrative review. On October 8, 1996, Akai withdrew its request for an administrative review. Termination of Review The Department's regulations, at 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5)(1994), state that ``the Secretary may permit a party that requests a review under paragraph (a) of this section to withdraw the request not later than 90 days after the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. The Secretary may extend this time limit if the Secretary decides that it is reasonable to do so.'' No interested party other than Akai requested this review, and the review is [[Page 55787]] still at a relatively early stage. In light of these facts, completing this review would place an unnecessary burden on the parties and the Department. Therefore, we have determined that it is reasonable to allow Akai to withdraw its request for review. See Steel Wire Rope From Japan; Partial Termination of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 56 FR 41118 (August 19, 1991). Accordingly, the Department is terminating this review. 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 Section 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. We will issue appraisement instructions directly to the U.S. Customs Service. This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675) and 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5). Joseph A. Spetrini, Deputy Assistant Secretary Enforcement Group III. [FR Doc. 96-27627 Filed 10-28-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-DS-P
