[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 16 (Friday, January 24, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 3660] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-1757] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-588-802] 3.5'' Microdisks and Coated Media Thereof From Japan; 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 May 24, 1996 (61 FR 26158), in response to a request from Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, and Fuji Photo Film U.S.A., Inc., collectively referred to as Fuji, and the respondents in the above-mentioned case, the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 3.5'' microdisks and coated media thereof from Japan. In accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5) of our regulations, the Department is now terminating this review because Fuji has withdrawn its request for review. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 24, 1997. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dana Mermelstein or Russell Morris, Office of CVD/AD Enforcement VI, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482- 2786. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On April 29, 1996, the Department received a request for an administrative review of this antidumping duty order from Fuji for the period April 1, 1995, through March 31, 1996. No other interested party requested a review of the antidumping duty order. On May 24, 1996, the Department published in the Federal Register (61 FR 26158) a notice of ``Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review'' initiating the administrative review of Fuji for that period. On January 9, 1997, Fuji withdrew its request for review. Section 353.22(a)(5) 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 notice of initiation of the requested review. This regulation also provides that the Secretary may extend the time limit for withdrawal of a request if it is reasonable to do so. Because no significant work has been completed on this review, the aforementioned request for withdrawal does not unduly burden the Department. Therefore, under the circumstances presented in this review, we are waiving the 90-day requirement in Sec. 353.22(a)(5). Accordingly, we are terminating this review. This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5). Dated: January 17, 1997. Jeffery P. Bialos, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary, for Import Administration.
