On April 10, 2003, the Department of Commerce and the Commission received a letter from petitioner in the subject investigations (Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation, Tarrytown, NY) withdrawing its petition. Commerce has not initiated investigations as provided for in sections 702(c) and 732(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671a(c)/1673a(c)). Accordingly, the Commission gives notice that its countervailing duty and antidumping investigations concerning 4,4'-diamino-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonic acid and stilbenic fluorescent whitening agents from China, Germany, and India (investigations Nos. 701-TA-434 and 731-TA-1030-1032 (Preliminary)) are discontinued.
