SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On January 2, 2004, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain folding gift boxes (gift boxes) from the People's Republic of China (PRC). See Notice of Opportunity to Request Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation, 69 FR 50. On January 26, 2004, Red Point Paper Products Co., Ltd. (Red Point), a producer/exporter of gift boxes from the PRC, requested that the Department conduct an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on gift boxes from the PRC produced/exported by Red Point for the period of review January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2003. On February 3, 2004, Red Point re-submitted its January 26, 2004, request for administrative review to correct a typographical error.

On February 5, 2004, the Department issued a review questionnaire to Red Point.

See Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR 8379. On April 2, 2004, Red Point withdrew its request for a review.

If a party that requested a review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication of notice of initiation of the requested review, the Secretary will rescind the review pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1)(2003). In this case, Red Point has withdrawn its request for a review within 90 days from the date of initiation. No other interested party requested a review and we have received no comments regarding Red Point's withdrawal of its request for a review. Therefore, we are rescinding the initiation of this review of the antidumping duty order on gift boxes from the PRC.

We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1)(2003).
