Background

The Department of the Treasury published an antidumping finding on

stainless steel plate from Sweden on June 8, 1973 (38 FR 15079). The

Department of Commerce published a notice of ``Opportunity To Request

Administrative Review'' of the antidumping finding for the 1998-1999

review period on June 9, 1999 (64 FR 30962). On June 30, 1999, the

petitioners, Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corp., G.O. Carlson, Inc., and

Lukens, Inc. filed a request for review of Uddeholm Tooling AB

(``Uddeholm''). No other interested party requested review of this

antidumping duty order. We initiated the review on July 29, 1999 (64 FR

41075). On August 10, 1999 petitioners withdrew their request for

review.

Section 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations

stipulates that the Secretary may permit a party that requests a review

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

publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In

this case, petitioners have withdrawn their request for review within

the 90-

[[Page 49774]]

day period. No other interested party requested a review and we have

received no other submissions regarding petitioner's withdrawal of

their request for review. Therefore, we are terminating this review of

the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate from Sweden.

This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act

and section 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations.

Dated: September 8, 1999.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
