SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 31, 1994, the Department received a request for an 
administrative review of this countervailing duty order from CST, a 
Brazilian exporter of the subject merchandise, for the period January 
1, 1994, through December 31, 1994. Although an importer of the subject 
merchandise, Wirth Ltd., requested a review of the scope of this order 
on the same date, no interested party other than CST requested a review 
of the countervailing duty rate. On September 15, 1994, the Department 
published in the Federal Register (60 FR 47930) a notice of 
``Initiation of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review'' initiating 
the administrative review of CST for that period. On November 13, 1995, 
CST 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. In 
this case, CST has withdrawn its request for review within the 90-day 
period. Further, no other interested party requested a review of the 
countervailing duty rate in this case, and we have received no 
submissions regarding CST's withdrawal of its request for review. 
Therefore, we are terminating the review of the countervailing duty 
order on certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from Brazil for CST.
    This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 355.22(a)(3).

    Dated: December 11, 1995.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
