On September 30, 2003, the Department published the initiation of administrative review of CCC, Dofasco, Ideal Roofing, Impact Steel, Russel Metals, Sorevco, and Stelco, covering the period August 1, 2002, through July 31, 2003. See Initiation. On December 19, 2003 we rescinded the review of CCC, Ideal Roofing and Impact Steel. See 68 FR 70764. On December 24, 2003, Russel Metals timely withdrew its request for an administrative review. The request was the only request for an administrative review of Russel Metals. See Memorandum For the File from Dana S. Mermelstein: Corrosion Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products from Canada: Russel Metals Withdrawal of Request for Review, dated January 12, 2004, and on file in the Central Records Unit (CRU) located in room B-099 of the Main Commerce Building.

Rescission, in Part, of the Administrative Review

Pursuant to the Department's regulations, the Department will rescind an administrative review “if a party that requested the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review.” See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Since Russel Metals submitted a timely withdrawal of its request for review, and since this was the only request for a review of Russel Metals, the Department is rescinding its antidumping administrative review of Russel Metals in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). Based on this rescission, the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products from Canada covering the period August 1, 2002, through July 31, 2003, now covers the following companies: Dofasco, Sorevco, and Stelco.

We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in accordance with section 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
