SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On December 30, 1997, respondents, SeAH Steel Corporation (SeAH),

requested an administrative review of certain welded stainless steel

pipe from Korea for the period December 1, 1996 through November 30,

1997 pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(b). On February 27, 1998, in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.221(b), we initiated an administrative review of this

order. On April 3, 1998, we received a timely withdrawal of request for

review from respondents.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d) of the Department's regulations, the

Department may allow a party that requests an administrative review to

withdraw such request not later than 90 days after the date of

publication of the notice of initiation of the administrative review.

Because respondent's request for termination was submitted within

the 90-day time limit and there were no requests for review from other

interested parties, we are terminating this review.

This termination of administrative review and notice are in

accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act 19 CFR 351.213(d).

Dated: March 16, 1998.
