SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 1, 1994, the Department published in the Federal Register 
notification of its intent to terminate the suspended investigation 
covering Certain Textile Mill Products from Thailand and invited 
interested parties to comment (59 FR 9727, dated March 1, 1994). On 
March 31, 1994, the Department received timely objections to the intent 
to terminate the suspended investigation from the Amalgamated Clothing 
and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU); American Textile Manufacturers 
Institute, Inc. (ATMI); Certain Individual Producers of ATMI; American 
Yarn Spinners Association (AYSA); and Certain Individual Producers of 
AYSA.
    On April 22, 1994, the Royal Thai Government (RTG) and Thai Textile 
Manufacturers Association (TTMA), challenged the interested party 
status of those parties who objected to our intent to terminate the 
suspended investigation. As a result of the objections received from 
the RTG and TTMA, the Department requested certifications demonstrating 
interested party status from ACTWU, ATMI, certain individual producers 
of ATMI, AYSA, and certain individual producers of AYSA in accordance 
with 19 CFR 355.2(i) (3), (4), and (5). Based on our analysis of 
interested party status by like product categories (See internal 
recommendation from Roland MacDonald to Joseph A. Spetrini dated 
January 12, 1995, for a complete analysis), we have determined that it 
is appropriate to terminate the suspended investigation with respect to 
the following three like product categories because the Department did 
not receive certifications demonstrating interested party status:

(1) Yarn of Man Made Fiber

Continuous Cellulosic
    5401.20.0000
    5406.20.0000

(2) Other Miscellaneous Categories

Wadding & Articles
    5601.10.1000
    5601.21.0010
    5601.21.0090
Other Made-up Articles
    6307.10.2005
    6307.10.2015
    6307.10.2020
    6307.10.2027
    6307.10.2028
    6307.10.2030

(3) Wool Made-Ups and Miscellaneous

Floor Coverings
    5703.10.0000

    This notice is in accordance with 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(i).

    Dated: April 18, 1995.
