Partial Rescission of Review

    Under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Department will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party that requested a 
review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of publication 
of the notice of initiation of the requested review.
    The Initiation was published on September 29, 2010. The respondent 
companies submitted a timely request for withdrawal on September 27, 
2010, and October 1, 2010. No other party requested administrative 
reviews of Dongbu or POSCO. Therefore, we are rescinding, in part, this

steel flat products from the Republic of Korea with regard to Dongbu 
and POSCO. This review will continue with respect to Hyundai HYSCO Ltd. 
(HYSCO).

directly to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) 15 days after

countervailing duties at the cash deposit rate in effect on the date of 
entry for entries during the period January 1, 2009, through December 
31, 2009.
