Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate From Germany; Notice of

Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review.

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 21, 1997.

SUMMARY: On September 17, 1996, the Department of Commerce (``the

Department'') published in the Federal Register (61 FR 48882) a notice

announcing the initiation of an administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on Certain Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel Plate from

Germany. This review covered the period August 1, 1995 through July 31,

1996. This review has now been rescinded as a result of the absence of

entries into the U.S. of subject merchandise during the period of

review.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Decker or Linda Ludwig, Group

III, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S.

Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW.,

Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-1324 or 482-3833,

respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 30, 1996, petitioners requested a

review of A.G. der Dillinger Huettenwerke (Dillinger). The Department

initiated this review on September 17, 1996. On that same date,

Dillinger filed a letter certifying to the Department that it did not

export any subject merchandise that was entered for consumption into

the United States during the period of review (POR). The Department

sent a no-shipment inquiry regarding Dillinger to U.S. Customs on

October 30, 1996. Customs did not indicate that there were any such

entries.

Because the only firm for which a review was requested made no

entries into the customs territory of the United States during that

POR, the Department is rescinding this review. This determination is

consistent with the Department's practice. See Antidumping Duties;

Countervailing Duties; Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 61 FR 7308, 7317,

7365 (February 27, 1996) (section 351.213(d)(3)).

This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1675 (1995), and 19 CFR

353.22 (1996).

Dated: March 12, 1997.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
