SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 17, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register (59 FR 25612) the preliminary results 
of its administrative review of the countervailing duty order on 
leather wearing apparel from Mexico (46 FR 21357; April 10, 1981). The 
Department has now completed this administrative review in accordance 
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The 
review period is January 1, 1992 through December 31, 1992. The review 
involves 65 companies and eight programs.

Scope of Review

    Imports covered by this review are shipments of Mexican leather 
wearing apparel. These products include leather coats and jackets for 
men, boys, women, girls, and infants, and other leather apparel 
products including leather vests, pants, and shorts. Also included are 
outer leather shells and parts and pieces of leather wearing apparel. 
This merchandise is currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule (HTS) item numbers 4203.10.4030, 4203.10.4060, 4203.10.4085 
and 4203.10.4095. The HTS item numbers are provided for convenience and 
Customs purposes. The written description remains dispositive.

Analysis of Comment Received

    We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the 
preliminary results. We received a written comment from the Amalgamated 
Clothing and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU), whose members produce 
leather wearing apparel. The ACTWU's comment supported the preliminary 
results of this review.

Final Results of Review

    Since the comment received did not oppose any aspect of the 
preliminary results, we determine the net subsidy for these final 
results to be the same as in the preliminary results: zero for the 65 
companies listed in the Appendix and 13.35 percent ad valorem for all 
other companies for the period January 1, 1992 through December 31, 
1992.
    Therefore, the Department will instruct the Customs Service to 
assess countervailing duties as follows for subject merchandise 
exported on or after January 1, 1992, and on or before December 31, 
1992: zero on shipments from any of the 65 companies listed in the 
Appendix; and 13.35 percent of the f.o.b. invoice price on shipments 
from all other companies.
    Further, the Department will instruct the Customs Service to 
continue to suspend liquidation on all shipments of this merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication of this notice. As provided by section 751(a)(1) of 
the Act, the Customs Service will collect cash deposits of estimated 
countervailing duties on such shipments as follows: zero on shipments 
of this merchandise from the companies listed in the Appendix, and 
13.35 percent of the f.o.b. invoice price on shipments from all other 
companies. These instructions shall remain in effect until publication 
of the final results of the next administrative review.
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 355.22.

    Dated: August 13, 1994.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
