SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 22, 1995, the Department issued the final results of the 
administrative review for the 1992-1993 period of review, and revoked 
the entire countervailing duty order effective March 31, 1993 (60 FR 
27082). The Department found that the GONZ had met the requirements for 
revocation of the countervailing duty order pursuant to 19 CFR 
Sec. 355.25(a)(1) and 19 CFR 355.25(b)(1). Based upon certification by 
GONZ, as well as from the Department's previous two consecutive 
administrative reviews, the Department determined that the GONZ has 
abolished all subsidy programs for lamb meat for a period of three 
consecutive years. In addition, the GONZ has certified that it will not 
reinstate the abolished programs or substitute other countervailable 
programs. The Department further determined that there was no 
likelihood that the GONZ would substitute or replace formerly 
countervailable programs with new subsidies.
    Prior to the Department's final determination to revoke the order, 
there was an opportunity for interested parties to request an 
administrative review of this order for the period April 1, 1993, 
through March 31, 1994. The GONZ submitted a request for an 
administrative review of this period on September 30, 1994 and the 
Department initiated the review on October 13, 1994 (59 FR 51939).
    Since the Department revoked the order effective March 31, 1993, 
there is no basis for completing the administrative review covering the 
1993-1994 period. Therefore, the Department is hereby terminating this 
review.

    Dated: June 22, 1995.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
