In response to the request from U.S.
Steel, the Department published the
initiation of the antidumping duty
administrative review on CORE from
Germany on September 25, 2007. See
Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews and Requests for Revocation in
Part, 72 FR 54428 (September 25, 2007).
The Department issued a
questionnaire to ThyssenKrupp on
October 19, 2007. The Department
received responses from ThyssenKrupp
on December 3, 2007, and December 18,
2007. U.S. Steel withdrew its request for
review with respect to ThyssenKrupp
on December 26, 2007.
Rescission of the Administrative
Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review under this section, in whole or
in part, if a party that requested a review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
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. See 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1). U.S. Steel’s request is
timely, as 90 days fell on December 24,
2007, which was a holiday. As
December 25, 2007, was also a holiday,
U.S. Steel could not have submitted a
request to rescind the review until the
first business day after the holidays, or
December 26, 2007. Additionally, no
party has objected to the termination of
the review. Therefore, the Department
determines that the continuation of the
administrative review is not necessary.
In response to U.S. Steel’s withdrawal
of its request for administrative reviews
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department hereby rescinds the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on CORE from
Germany for the period August 1, 2006,
through July 31, 2007. The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of this rescission of
administrative review.
This notice serves as a reminder to
parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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.
