SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 2, 1996, the Department published in the Federal Register 
(61 FR 40408) its intent to terminate the suspended investigation on 
cotton shop towels from Peru. In accordance with section 
355.25(d)(4)(iii) of the Department's regulations, the Secretary of 
Commerce will conclude that a

suspension agreement is no longer of interest to interested parties if 
no domestic interested party (as defined in sections 355.2 (i)(3), 
(i)(4), (i)(5), and (i)(6) of the regulations) objects to the 
Department's intent to terminate a suspended investigation.
    Within the specified time frame, we received from a domestic 
interested party (Milliken & Company) an objection to our intent to 
terminate the suspended investigation. Therefore, because the 
requirements of 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(iii) have not been met, we will not 
terminate the suspended investigation.
    This determination is in accordance with 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4).

    Dated: September 5, 1996.
Roland L. MacDonald,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
