Ceiling Fans From the People's Republic of China: Termination of

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of termination of antidumping duty administrative

review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On January 18, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the

Department) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty

order on ceiling fans from the People's Republic of China covering the

period December 1, 1992 through November 30, 1993. We are now

terminating that review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 16, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrea Chu or Michael Rill, Office of

Antidumping Compliance, Import Administration, International Trade

Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-

4733.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 29, 1993, Lasko Metal Products,

Inc. (Lasko), the petitioner, requested that the Department conduct an

administrative review of the antidumping duty order on ceiling fans

from the People's Republic of China covering the period December 1,

1992 through November 30, 1993. On January 18, 1994, the Department

published in the Federal Register (59 FR 2593) a notice of initiation

of an administrative review of the order. This notice stated that we

would review eleven manufacturers/exporters covering the period

December 1, 1992 through November 30, 1993. On August 26, 1994, Lasko

requested that it be allowed to withdraw its request for a review and

that the review be terminated.

Section 353.22(a)(5) of the Department's regulations states 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.'' Because no

significant work has yet been done in this review, we have determined

that it is reasonable to extend the 90-day time limit and to allow

Lasko 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). Furthermore, we note that no interested

party objected to termination of the review. 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/destruction of APO materials

or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure

to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a

sanctionable violation.

This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 to file certificate regarding the

reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the

relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this

requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that

reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent

assessment of double antidumping duties.

This notice is in accordance with section 353.22(a)(5) of the

Department's regulations (19 CFR 353.22(a)(5)).

Dated: September 9, 1994.

Roland L. MacDonald,

Acting Dupty Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
