SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 27, 1996, Milliken & Company (Milliken), a domestic 
producer of shop towels, requested an administrative review of the 
countervailing duty order on cotton shop towels from Pakistan for the 
period January 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995, for the producer/
resellers Anwar Corporation, Bita Textile Corporation, Eastern Textiles 
(Pvt) Ltd., Fine Fabrico, Hilal Corporation (Pvt) Ltd., Jawad Brothers, 
Mehtabi Towel Mills (Pvt) Ltd., Mohain Brothers, Pakistan Textile 
Corporation (Pvt) Ltd., Quality Linen Supply Corporation, Salimah 
International, Shaheen Textiles, Shahi Textiles, Sultex Industries, The 
Khans, and United Towel Exporters. No other interested party requested 
a review.
    On April 25, 1996, the Department published a notice initiating the 
administrative review for that period with respect to those producers/
resellers (61 FR 18378). On May 7, 1996, Milliken withdrew its request 
for review of the same producer/exporters.
    Section 355.22(a)(3) of the Department's regulations provides that 
the Department may permit a party that requests a review to withdraw 
its request not later than 90 days after the date of publication of the 
notice of initiation of the review. Since the withdrawal of Milliken's 
request was timely submitted, we are accepting Milliken's withdrawal 
and terminating this review.
    This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 355.22(a)(3).

    Dated: May 16, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
