SUMMARY: On June 1, 2004, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930,

orders on stainless steel sheet and strip from France, Germany, Italy,
Japan, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom, and the
countervailing duty orders on stainless steel sheet and strip from
France, Italy, and Korea.\1\ Subsequent to the issuance of the Sunset

France. The International Trade Commission is publishing concurrently
with this notice its rescission of its notice of Institution of Five-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 1, 2004, the Department published in the Federal Register,
the Sunset Initiation Notice for the antidumping duty orders on
stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from France, Germany, Italy,
Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom, and the
countervailing duty orders on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils
from France, Italy, and South Korea. Subsequent to the publication of
the Sunset Initiation Notice, we discovered an error.
Rescission of Review
In our Initiation Notice, we indicated that we were initiating
five-year sunset reviews in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(c). In the
Initiation of Reviews section of our Initiation Notice, we initiated a
sunset review of the countervailing duty order on stainless steel and
strip in coils from France. However, this order was revoked effective
November 7, 2003, in implementing certain determinations under Section
129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.\2\ Therefore, we are
rescinding the sunset review of the countervailing duty order of
stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from France. The sunset review
of the antidumping duty order of stainless steel sheet and strip in
coils from France will continue.

This amendment is issued and published in accordance with section
777(i) of the Act.
Dated: June 14, 2004.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
