Pasta From Italy and Turkey

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 1, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Vincent Kane (Italy) and Elizabeth Graham (Turkey), Office of

telephone (202) 482-2815 and (202) 482-4105, respectively.

POSTPONEMENT OF FINAL DETERMINATIONS AND TERMINATION OF SUSPENSION OF 
LIQUIDATION: On October 17, 1995, we published the preliminary 
affirmative countervailing duty determinations with respect to certain 
pasta from Italy (60 FR 53739) and Turkey (60 FR 53747). On October 26, 
1995, we published a notice of alignment of the final countervailing 
duty determinations with the final antidumping duty determinations of 
certain pasta from Italy and Turkey (60 FR 54847). The notice stated 
that the final countervailing duty determinations would be made on 
February 21, 1996.

    On January 19, 1996, the notices of preliminary determination of 
sales at less than fair value and postponement of final determination 
for certain pasta from Italy and Turkey were published in the Federal 
Register. These notices stated that the final determinations in the 
antidumping duty investigations and the companion countervailing duty 
investigations would be made 135 days after the date of publication of 
the Department's preliminary determination in the antidumping cases, 
i.e., June 3, 1996. Accordingly, the date for the final countervailing 
duty determinations for certain pasta from Italy and Turkey will be 
June 3, 1996.

    In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, the Department will 
direct the U.S. Customs Service to terminate the suspension of 
liquidation in the countervailing duty investigations on February 14, 
1996, which is four months (120 days) from the date of publication of 
the preliminary determinations in these countervailing duty 
investigations. No cash deposits or bonds for potential countervailing 
duties will be required for merchandise which enters on or after 
February 14, 1996. The suspension of liquidation will not be resumed 
unless and until the Department publishes countervailing duty orders. 
We will also direct the U.S. Customs Service to continue to suspend 
liquidation of entries made between October 17, 1995, through February 
13, 1996 until the conclusion of these investigations.

    The U.S. International Trade Commission is being advised of this 
postponement of final determinations in accordance with section 705(d) 
of the Act and the termination of suspension of liquidation in 
accordance with section 703(f) of the Act. This notice is published 
pursuant to section 705(d) of the Act and 19 C.F.R. 355.20(c)(3).

    Dated: January 24, 1996.

Barbara R. Stafford,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
