SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Applicable Statute and Regulations
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are references to the provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) effective January 1, 1995 (the Act). In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are to the current regulations as codified at 19 CFR Part 351 (1998).
Background
On October 29, 1998, the Department received a request to conduct an administrative review of the countervailing duty order from the respondent for the period January 1, 1997, through December 31, 1997. No other interested party requested a review of this countervailing duty order. On November 30, 1998, the Department published in the Federal Register (63 FR 65748) a notice of ``Initiation of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review'' initiating the administrative review of the respondent for that period. On March 1, 1999, respondent withdrew the 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 In this case, respondent has withdrawn the request for review within the 90-day period.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 the request for review. Therefore, we are rescinding the review of the countervailing duty order on certain agricultural tillage tools from Brazil.
This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act and section 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Dated: March 19, 1999. Holly A. Kuga, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement Group II.
