SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 17, 1994, the Department published in the Federal Register 
(59 FR 25611) the preliminary results of its administrative review of 
the countervailing duty order on leather wearing apparel from Argentina 
(48 FR 11480; March 18, 1983). We gave interested parties an 
opportunity to comment on the preliminary results. We received no 
comments. Therefore, there have been no changes in the analysis of 
programs between the preliminary results and these final results. We 
have now completed this review in accordance with section 751 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of Review

    Imports covered by this review are shipments of Argentine leather 
coats, jackets and other apparel including leather vests, pants and 
shorts for men, boys, women, girls and infants. Also included are outer 
shells and parts and pieces of leather wearing apparel. This 
merchandise is classifiable under item number 4203.10.40 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). The HTS item number is provided for 
convenience and Customs purposes. The written description remains 
dispositive.
    The review period is January 1, 1991 through December 31, 1991. 
This review involves one company, Comercio Internacional S.A.C.I.F.I.A. 
(Comercio), which accounts for virtually all exports to the United 
States, and nine government programs.

Final Results of Review

    As a result of our review, we determine the total net subsidy to be 
zero during the period January 1, 1991 through December 31, 1991.
    Therefore, the Department will instruct the Customs Service not to 
assess countervailing duties on shipments of the subject merchandise 
from all companies, exported on or after January 1, 1991, and on or 
before December 31, 1991. Further, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of 
the Act, the Department will instruct Customs that the cash deposit 
rate on shipments of this merchandise from all companies, entered or 
withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the date of 
publication of this notice is zero. This deposit instruction shall 
remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next 
administrative review.
    This administrative review and notice are being published in 
accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 
19 CFR 355.22(c)(8).

    Dated: September 17, 1994.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
