SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 30, 1994, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (59 FR 67700) its intent to revoke the countervailing duty 
order on cut flowers from Ecuador (52 FR 1361; January 13, 1987). 
Additionally, as required by 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(ii)(1994), the 
Department served, by certified mail, written notice of its intent to 
revoke this countervailing duty order on each party listed on its most 
current service list.

Scope of the Order

    Imports covered by this order are shipments of Ecuadorian fresh cut 
miniature (spray) carnations, standard carnations, standard 
chrysanthemums, and pompon chrysanthemums. This merchandise is 
currently classified under item numbers 0603.10.30, 0603.10.70, and 
0603.10.80 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). Daisies are 
excluded from the scope of the countervailing duty order. The HTS item 
numbers are provided for convenience and Customs purposes. The written 
description remains dispositive.

Determination to Revoke

    The Department may revoke a countervailing duty order if it 
concludes that the order is no longer of interest to interested 
parties. We conclude that there is no interest in a countervailing duty 
order when no interested party (as defined in Secs. 355.2 (i)(3), 
(i)(4), (i)(5), and (i)(6) of the Department's regulations) has 
requested an administrative review for at least five consecutive review 
periods and when no domestic interested party objects to the revocation 
(19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(iii)).
    We received no requests for administrative review for the previous 
five consecutive review periods and no objections to our notice of 
intent to revoke the countervailing duty order. Therefore, we have 
concluded that the countervailing duty order covering cut flowers from 
Ecuador is no longer of interest to interested parties, and we are 
revoking this countervailing duty order in accordance with 19 CFR 
355.25(d)(4)(iii).
    Further, as required by 19 CFR 355.25(d)(5), the Department is 
terminating the suspension of liquidation on the subject merchandise as 
of the effective date of this notice, and will instruct the Customs 
Service to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, all 
unliquidated entries of this merchandise exported from Ecuador on or 
after January 1, 1994.
    This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 
355.25(d)(4)(iii).

    Dated: April 5, 1995.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
