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

SUMMARY: In response to a request by the petitioner, the Coalition for

Fair Atlantic Salmon Trade, the Department of Commerce published in the

Federal Register (62 FR 27720, May 21, 1997) a notice announcing the

initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on

fresh and chilled Atlantic salmon from Norway for one exporter Nordic

Group A/L, covering the period April 1, 1996, through March 31, 1997.

The Department of Commerce is terminating this review as a result of

the absence of entries into the United States of fresh and chilled

Atlantic salmon exported by Nordic Group A/L.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 25, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are

Background

On April 12, 1991, the Department of Commerce (the Department)

published the antidumping duty order on fresh and chilled Atlantic

salmon from Norway (56 FR 14920). The Department published a notice of

``Opportunity to Request Administrative Review'' on April 2, 1997 (62

FR 15655). On April 30, 1997, the petitioner, Coalition for

[[Page 62758]]

Fair Atlantic Salmon Trade (FAST), requested that we conduct an

administrative review of Nordic Group A/L (Nordic), an exporter of

subject merchandise, for the period April 1, 1996, through March 31,

1997. We published a notice of ``Initiation of Antidumping and

Countervailing Duty Administrative Review'' on May 21, 1997 (62 FR

27720). On May 27, 1997, Nordic reported that it made no shipments of

the subject merchandise during the period of review (POR). On August 5,

1997, the Department conducted a no-shipment data query regarding

Nordic using the U.S. Customs Service database. The purpose of this

query was to determine whether the U.S. Customs Service suspended

liquidation of entry summaries of this merchandise during the POR.

Because the U.S. Customs Service did not identify any suspended entry

summaries of subject merchandise exported by Nordic during the POR, we

have determined that no entries into the Customs territory of the

United States occurred during the POR. Therefore, the Department is

terminating this review. The cash deposit rate for Nordic will continue

to be zero percent, the rate established in the most recently completed

segment of this proceeding (62 FR 1430, January 10, 1997, a new shipper

review).

This administrative review and notice are in accordance with

section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR

353.22.

Dated: November 18, 1997.

Holly Kuga,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for Import Administration.
