    Welded Stainless Steel Hollow Products From Sweden; Opportunity 
    To Request Administrative Review
    
    AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
    Department of Commerce.
    
    ACTION: Notice of opportunity to request administrative review of 
    antidumping duty order.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    BACKGROUND: On October 9, 1987, the Department of Commerce (the 
    Department) published in the Federal Register the final determination 
    of its investigation of sales at less-than-fair-value (LTFV) of 
    stainless steel hollow products (SSHP) from Sweden (52 FR 37810). On 
    November 25, 1987, the International Trade Commission (ITC) published 
    its final determination, in which it found that imports of seamless 
    SSHP were causing material injury to the U.S. industry, but that 
    imports of welded SSHP were not causing injury, or threatening to cause 
    injury, to the U.S. industry (52 FR 45246). Therefore, on December 3, 
    1987, the Department published an antidumping duty order covering only 
    seamless SSHP from Sweden (A-401-603).
        Subsequently, the domestic producers of SSHP challenged the ITC's 
    negative determination with respect to imports of welded SSHP before 
    the Court of International Trade (CIT). On June 20, 1990, the CIT 
    remanded the determination to the ITC. Upon remand, the ITC determined 
    that the U.S. industry was materially injured by imports of welded SSHP 
    from Sweden. The CIT affirmed the ITC's redetermination on November 27, 
    1990. Accordingly, the Department published in the Federal Register a 
    notification of the CIT's decision, and instructions, effective 
    December 7, 1990, to suspend the liquidation of entries of welded SSHP 
    from Sweden (55 FR 51745, December 17, 1990).
        Following the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's (CAFC) 
    affirmation of the CIT's decision, the ITC published its final 
    affirmative determination of injury for the antidumping duty 
    investigation of welded SSHP from Sweden (57 FR 42761). Subsequently, 
    the Department published an amended antidumping duty order for SSHP 
    from Sweden on November 5, 1992 (57 FR 52761) in order to include 
    welded, along with seamless, SSHP in the scope of the order.
        The Department is now issuing an opportunity notice for interested 
    parties, as defined in section 771(9) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
    amended, to request, in accordance with section 353.22 of the 
    Department's regulations (1993), that the Department conduct 
    administrative reviews of the antidumping duty order on welded SSHP for 
    the periods December 7, 1990 through November 30, 1991, and December 1, 
    1991 through November 30, 1992.
        Additionally, since the Department considers welded and seamless 
    SSHP to be a single class or kind of merchandise, we are disregarding 
    the separate case number (A-401-206) under which the Department 
    instructed the Customs Service (Customs) to suspend liquidation of 
    entries of welded SSHP and have instructed Customs to suspend the 
    liquidation of all entries of SSHP under the original case number (A-
    401-603). Furthermore, since we intend to conduct any administrative 
    reviews requested as a result of this notice under the original case 
    number (A-401-603), all requests for administrative reviews should be 
    filed under this case number.
    
    OPPORTUNITY TO REQUEST A REVIEW: Not later than July 31, 1995, 
    interested parties may request administrative reviews of the following 
    order for the following periods:
    
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Antidumping duty proceedings                    Period      
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    SWEDEN: Stainless Steel Welded Hollow Products (A-                      
     401-603)..........................................    12/07/90-11/30/91
    SWEDEN: Stainless Steel Welded Hollow Products (A-                      
     401-603)..........................................    12/01/91-11/30/92
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
        In accordance with sections 353.22(a) of the regulations, an 
    interested party as defined by section 353.2(k) may request in writing 
    that the Secretary conduct an administrative review. The interested 
    party must specify for which individual producers or resellers covered 
    by an antidumping finding or order it is requesting a review, and must 
    state why it desires the Secretary to review those particular producers 
    or resellers.
        Seven copies of the request should be submitted to the Assistant 
    Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade 
    Administration, Room B-099, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, 
    D.C. 20230. The Department also asks parties to serve a copy of their 
    requests to the Office of Antidumping Compliance, Attention: John 
    Kugelman, in room 3065 of the main Commerce Building. Further, in 
    accordance with section 353.3l(g), 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 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,'' for requests 
    received by July 31, 1995. If the Department does not receive, by July 
    31, 1995, a request for review of entries covered by the order listed 
    in this notice and for the period identified above, the Department will 
    instruct Customs to assess antidumping duties on those entries at a 
    rate equal to the cash deposit of (or bond for) estimated antidumping 
    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: June 22, 1995.
    Joseph A. Spetrini,
    Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
