In accordance with Sec. 351.213 of the regulations, an interested
party as defined by section 771(9) of the Act may request in writing
that the Secretary conduct an administrative review. In recent
revisions to its regulations, the Department changed its requirements
for requesting reviews for countervailing duty orders. Pursuant to
771(9) of the Act, an interested party must specify the individual
producers or exporters covered by the order or suspension agreement for
which they are requesting a review (Department of Commerce Regulations,
62 FR 27295, 27424 (May 19, 1997)). Therefore, for both antidumping and
countervailing duty reviews, the interested party must specify for
which individual producers or exporters covered by an antidumping
finding or an antidumping or countervailing duty order it is requesting
a review, and the requesting party must state why it desires the
Secretary to review those particular producers or exporters. If the
interested party intends for the Secretary to review sales of
merchandise by an exporter (or a producer if that producer also exports
merchandise from other suppliers) which were produced in more than one
country of origin and each country of origin is subject to a separate
order, then the interested party must state specifically, on an order-
by-order basis, which exporter(s) the request is intended to cover.
Seven copies of the request should be submitted to the Assistant
Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, Room 1870, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street &
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230. The Department also asks
parties to serve a copy of their requests to the Office of Antidumping/
Countervailing Enforcement, Attention: Sheila Forbes, in room 3065 of
the main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with
Sec. 351.303(f)(1)(i) of the regulations, a copy of each request must
be served on every party on the Department's service list.
The Department will publish in the Federal Register a notice of
``Initiation of Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation'' for requests received
by the last day of February 1998. If the Department does not receive,
by the last day of February 1998, a request for review of entries
covered by an order, finding, or suspended investigation listed in this
notice and for the period identified above, the Department will
instruct the Customs Service to assess antidumping or countervailing
duties on those entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or bond
for) estimated antidumping or countervailing duties required on those
entries at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption and to continue to collect the cash deposit previously
ordered.
This notice is not required by statute but is published as a
service to the international trading community.
Dated: January 28, 1998.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II Import Administration.
