SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The notice announcing the antidumping duty order on welded carbon
steel pipes and tubes from India was published on May 12, 1986 (51 FR
17384). On May 30, 2003, we received a request for a new shipper review
of the antidumping duty order on welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from India from Surya Roshni Ltd. (Surya). Pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19
CFR 351.214(d)(1), we initiated a new shipper review on July 3, 2003,
for shipments of welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from India
produced and exported by Surya (68 FR 39897). Surya withdrew its
request for a new shipper review on August 25, 2003.

Rescission of New Shipper Review

    Section 19 CFR 351.214(f)(1) provides that the Department of
Commerce may rescind a new shipper review if the party that requested
the review withdraws its request for review within sixty days of the
date of publication of

the notice of initiation of the requested review. Surya withdrew its
request within the 60-day period. Accordingly, we are rescinding this
new shipper review.

shipments of welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from India produced
and exported by Surya, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption in the United States on or after the publication of this
rescission notice in the Federal Register.
    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
