AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Termination of Countervailing Duty Administrative 
Review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 15, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on 
ferrosilicon from Venezuela. In accordance with 19 CFR 
355.22(a)(3)(1994), the Department is now terminating this review 
pursuant to a request by an interested party.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 15, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Albright or Stephanie Moore, 
Office of Countervailing Compliance, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: 
(202) 482-2786.

Background

    On May 31, 1994, the Department received a request for an 
administrative review of this countervailing duty order from CVG-
FESILVEN, a Venezuelan exporter of the subject merchandise, for the 
period August 25, 1992, through December 31, 1993. No other interested 
party requested a review. On June 15, 1994, the Department published in 
the Federal Register (59 FR 30770) a notice of ``Initiation of 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Review'' initiating the 
administrative review for that period. On November 1, 1994, CVG-
FESILVEN withdrew its request for review.
    Section 355.22(a)(3) of the Department's regulations stipulates 
that the Secretary may permit a party that requests a review to 
withdraw the request not later than 90 days after the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. This 
regulation also provides that the Secretary may extend the time limit 
for withdrawal of a request if it is reasonable to do so.
    Because no significant work has been completed on this review, the 
aforementioned exporter's request does not unduly burden the 
Department. Further, no other interested party requested a review in 
this case, and we have received no submissions regarding CVG-FESILVEN's 
withdrawal of its request for review. Therefore, under the 
circumstances presented in this review, we find it reasonable to extend 
the 90-day deadline established in 19 CFR 355.22(a)(3) to accommodate 
CVG-FESILVEN's withdrawal. Accordingly, we are terminating this review. 
This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 355.22(a)(3).

    Dated: December 9, 1994.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
