SUMMARY: On July 28, 1998, the Department of Commerce initiated an

administrative review of the antidumping duty order on industrial belts

and components and parts thereof, whether cured or uncured, from Japan

for NOK Corporation, a manufacturer of industrial belts. This

administrative review was requested by NOK Corporation and is for the

period June 1, 1997, through May 31, 1998. The Department is rescinding

this review after timely receiving from NOK Corporation, a withdrawal

of its request for review.

Background

On June 30, 1998, NOK Corporation (NOK), requested that the

Department conduct an administrative review of the subject merchandise

it exported from Japan for the period June 1, 1997, through May 31,

1998.

On July 28, 1998, the Department published in the Federal Register

(63 FR 40258) a notice of initiation of administrative review with

respect to NOK for the period June 1, 1997, through May 31, 1998. On

July 28, 1998, NOK requested that it be allowed to withdraw its request

for a review and that the review be terminated.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1)(1998), the Department may allow a

party that requests an administrative review to withdraw such request

within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation

of the requested review. Because NOK'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 rescinding this review. We

will issue appropriate appraisement instructions directly to the U.S.

Customs Service.

This notice is in accordance with section 777(i) of the Tariff Act

of 1930, as amended and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4)(1998).

Dated: August 6, 1998.

Maria Harris Tildon,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import Administration.
