SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On July 25, 1995, the Department of
Commerce (‘‘the Department’’)
published an antidumping duty order
on furfuryl alcohol from Thailand. See
Notice of Amended Final Antidumping
Duty Determination and Order: Furfuryl
Alcohol from Thailand, 60 FR 38035
(July 25, 1995).
On July 1, 2005, the Department
published in the Federal Register an
Antidumping or Countervailing Duty
Order, Finding, or Suspended
Investigation: Opportunity to Request
Administrative Review, 70 FR 38099
(July 1, 2005). On July 19, 2005, the
Department received a timely filed
request for an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on furfuryl
alcohol from Thailand with respect to
Indorama Chemicals (Thailand) Ltd.
(‘‘IRCT’’) from Penn Specialty
Chemicals, Inc. (‘‘petitioner’’). On
August 29, 2005, the Department
published the initiation of an
administrative review of IRCT covering
the period July 1, 2004, through June 30,
VerDate Aug<31>2005

2005. See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 70 FR 51009 (August 29, 2005).
This review covers imports of furfuryl
alcohol from one producer/exporter,
IRCT. On October 21, 2005, the
petitioner timely withdrew its request
for an administrative review of IRCT.
The petitioner’s request was the only
request for an administrative review of
IRCT’s U.S. sales.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
order is furfuryl alcohol
(C4H3OCH2OH). Furfuryl alcohol is a
primary alcohol, and is colorless or pale
yellow in appearance. It is used in the
manufacture of resins and as a wetting
agent and solvent for coating resins,
nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, and
other soluble dyes. The product subject
to this order is classifiable under
subheading 2932.13.00 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope is
dispositive.
Rescission of the Administrative
Review
Pursuant to the Department’s
regulations, the Department will rescind
an administrative review ‘‘if a party that
requested a review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review’’. See 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1). Since the petitioner
withdrew its request for an
administrative review on October 21,
2005, which is within the 90-day
deadline, and no other party requested
a review with respect to this company,
the Department is rescinding this
administrative review of IRCT in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (‘‘APOs’’) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/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 violation
which is subject to sanction.

initiated sunset reviews of the
