On February 1, 2001, the respondent, Gunung, requested new shipper reviews of the above-referenced antidumping and countervailing duty orders for the periods from February 1, 2000, through January 31, 2001, and January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2000, respectively.

Rescission of Reviews

On May 2, 2001, the respondent, Gunung, timely withdrew its request for reviews. Section 19 CFR 351.214(f) of the Department's regulations stipulates that the Secretary may permit a party that requests a review to withdraw the request no later than 60 days after the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In this case, the respondent has withdrawn its request for the reviews within the 60-day period. No other interested party requested a review and we have received no other submissions regarding Gunung's withdrawal of its request for the reviews. Therefore, we are rescinding these reviews of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on CTL Plate from Indonesia.

This notice is published in accordance with section 751 of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(f).
