SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 30, 1998, Cray Research, Inc., the petitioner, requested 
an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on vector 
supercomputers from Japan in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b). On 
November 30, 1998, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we 
initiated an administrative review of this order for the period October 
16, 1997, through September 30, 1998. On December 1, 1998, Cray 
Research, Inc., withdrew its request for this review.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department may allow a party 
that requests an administrative review to withdraw such request within 
90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the 
requested review. Because Cray Research, Inc.'s request for termination 
was submitted within the 90-day time limit and there were no requests 
for review from other interested parties, we are rescinding this 
review. We will issue appropriate appraisement instructions directly to 
the U.S. Customs Service.
    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675), and 
19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

    Dated: January 11, 1999.
Laurie Parkhill,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
