SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are 
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective 
date of the amendments to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the 
Uruguay Round Agreements Act. In addition, unless otherwise indicated, 
all citations to the Department's regulations are to the regulations as 
codified at 19 CFR Part 351 (2002).

Background

    On July 1, 2002, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on industrial nitrocellulose (INC) from 
Germany (67 FR 44172).
    On August 27, 2002, pursuant to a request made by Wolff Walstrode 
AG (Wolff), a producer and exporter of INC, the Department initiated an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on INC from 
Germany. On October 16, 2002, Wolff withdrew its request for an 
administrative review of INC from Germany.

Rescission of Review

    Section 351.213(d)(1) of the Department's regulations provides that 
a party that requests an administrative review may withdraw the request 
within 90 days after the date of publication of the notice of 
initiation of the requested administrative review. The Department is 
rescinding the administrative review of the order on INC from Germany 
for the period July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2002, because the 
requesting party has withdrawn its request for this administrative 
review within the 90-day time limit, and no other interested parties 
have requested a review of INC from Germany for this time period.
    This notice is in accordance with section 777(i)(1) of the Act and 
19 CFR 251.213(d)(4).

    Dated: October 24, 2002.
Bernard T. Carreau,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
