Termination of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Termination of Administrative Review of Antidumping

Duty Order; Certain Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products From Germany

(A-428-814).

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

SUMMARY: On September 8, 1995, in response to a request from

petitioners, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated

an administrative review of Thyssen Stahl AG (``TSAG'') and Thyssen,

Inc. (``TINC''), covering the period August 1, 1994, through July 31,

1995. The Department received a request for withdrawal on December 14,

1995, from petitioners. Because the request for review was withdrawn,

and there were no other requests from any interested parties for review

of these or other companies under this antidumping duty order, the

Department is now terminating this review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 2, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Bezirganian or Robin Gray;

Office of Agreements Compliance, Import Administration, International

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

Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-1395

or (202) 482-0196, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 31, 1995, the Department received

a request from petitioners for review of the antidumping duty order on

certain cold-rolled carbon steel flat products from Germany for the

period August 1, 1994, through July 31, 1995.

On September 8, 1995, the Department published in the Federal

Register (60 FR 46817) a notice of initiation of an administrative

review of the order with respect to TSAG and TINC and the period August

1, 1994, through July 31, 1995.

On December 14, 1995, petitioners withdrew their request for this

administrative review, pursuant to 19 CFR 353.22(a)(5). Ordinarily,

parties have 90 days in which to withdraw a request for review.

Given that the review has not progressed substantially and there

would be no undue burden on the parties or the Department, the

Department has determined that it would be reasonable to grant the

withdrawal at this time. Therefore, in accordance with section

353.22(a)(5) of the Department's regulations, the Department has

terminated this administrative review. Further, we note that respondent

has not objected to petitioners' request to withdraw.

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 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.

Dated: January 26, 1996.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
