The period of review is August 1, 1998 through July 31, 1999. The Department received a request for withdrawal on December 3, 1999 from respondent. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department is now terminating this review because the respondent has withdrawn its request for review and no other interested parties have requested a review.

Background

On August 11, 1995, the Department published in the Federal Register (60 FR 41058) the antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods from Korea. The Department of Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of ``Opportunity To Request Administrative Review'' of the antidumping duty order for the 1998-1999 review period on August 11, 1999 (64 FR 43649). On August 31, 1999, SeAH requested an administrative review for its entries during the 1998-1999 period of review. No other interested party requested review of this antidumping duty order. On October 1, 1999, in accordance with Section 751 of the Act, the Department initiated the review (64 FR 53318). On December 3, 1999 respondent withdrew its 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 In this case, respondent has withdrawn its request for review within the 90-day period. No other interested party requested a review and we have received no other submissions regarding respondent's withdrawal of its request for review. Therefore, we are terminating this review of the antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods from Korea.

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: December 28, 1999. Richard O. Weible, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
