SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department may terminate a suspended investigation if the 
Secretary of Commerce concludes that it is no longer of interest to 
interested parties. Accordingly, as required by the Department's 
regulations (at 19 C.F.R. 355.25(d)(4)), we are notifying the public of 
our intent to terminate the suspended countervailing duty investigation 
of cotton shop towels from Peru, for which the Department has not 
received a request to conduct an administrative review for the most 
recent four consecutive annual anniversary months.
    In accordance with section 355.25(d)(4)(iii) of the Department's 
regulations, if no domestic interested party (as defined in sections 
355.2 (i)(3), (i)(4), (i)(5), and (i)(6) of the regulations) objects to 
the Department's intent to terminate the suspended investigation 
pursuant to this notice, we shall conclude that the suspension 
agreement is no longer of interest to interested parties and proceed 
with the termination. However, if a domestic interested party does 
object to the Department's intent to terminate pursuant to this notice, 
the Department will not terminate the suspended investigation.

Opportunity To Object

    Not later than 30 days from the publication of this notice, 
domestic interested parties may object to the Department's intent to 
terminate this suspended investigation. Any submission objecting to the 
termination must contain the name and case number of the suspension 
agreement and a statement that explains how the objecting party 
qualifies as a domestic interested party under sections 355.2 (i)(3), 
(i)(4), (i)(5), or (i)(6) of the Department's regulations.
    Seven copies of any such objections should be submitted to the 
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, Room B-099, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street 
and Constitution Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230.
    This notice is in accordance with 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(i).

    Dated: July 26, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement Group III.
