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

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 29, 1998.

SUMMARY: On September 25, 1997, the Department of Commerce (``the

[[Page 4430]]

Department'') published in the Federal Register (62 FR 50292) a notice

announcing the initiation of an administrative review of the

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

(Carbon Steel Plate) from Germany. This review covered the period

August 1, 1996 through July 31, 1997. This review has now been

rescinded as a result of the absence of shipments and entries into the

United States 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On September 2, 1997, Dewey Ballantine, on behalf of petitioners in

this proceeding, requested a review of sales made by AG Der Dillinger

Huttenwerke (Dillinger). On September 16, 1997, and September 22, 1997,

Dillinger filed letters certifying to the Department that there had

been no sales or entries of subject merchandise during the period of

review (POR). The Department sent a no-shipment inquiry regarding

Dillinger to U.S. Customs on October 16, 1997. Customs did not indicate

that there were any such entries.

Because Dillinger made no entries into the customs territory of the

United States during the POR, the Department is therefore rescinding

this review.

This administrative review is being rescinded in accordance with

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

351.213(d)(3).

Dated: January 22, 1998.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
