A recent theory of the magnetic-field-induced spin-density wave (FISDW) transitions observed in the Bechgaard Salts (TMTSF){sub 2}{ital X} emphasizes the role of the superconducting pairing interaction in FISDW formation. No superconductivity is observed in (TMTSF){sub 2}NO{sub 3}, unlike other metallic Bechgaard salts. Our study of (TMTSF){sub 2}NO{sub 3} in pressure up to 13 kbar, temperature down to 0.5 K, and magnetic field up to 30 T shows no sign of FISDW. The rapid'' magnetoresistance oscillations observed but unexplained in other Bechgaard salts are also observed here.
