    In accordance with sections 353.22(a) and 355.22(a) of the 
regulations, an interested party as defined by section 353.2(k) may 
request in writing that the Secretary conduct an administrative review. 
The Department has changed its requirements for requesting reviews for 
countervailing duty orders. Pursuant to 19 CFR 355.22(a) of the 
regulations, an interested party must specify the individual producers 
or exporters covered by the order for which they are requesting a 
review, (Interim Regulations, 60 FR 25130, 25137 (May 11, 1995)). 
Therefore, for both antidumping and countervailing duty reviews, the 
interested party must specify for which individual producers or 
exporters covered by an antidumping finding or an antidumping or 
countervailing duty order it is requesting a review, and the requesting 
party must state why it desires the Secretary to review those 
particular producers or exporters. If the interested party intends for 
the Secretary to review sales of merchandise by an exporter (or a 
producer if that producer also exports merchandise from other 
suppliers) which were produced in more than one country of origin, and 
each country of origin is subject to a separate order, then the 
interested party must state specifically, on an order-by-order basis, 
which exporter(s) the request is intended to cover.
    Seven copies of the request should be submitted to the Assistant 
Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, Room B-099, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & 
Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230. The Department also 
asks parties to serve a copy of their requests to: Sheila Forbes in 
room 3061 of the main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with 
section 353.31(g) or 355.31(g) of the regulations, a copy of each 
request must be served on every party on the Department's service list.
    The Department will publish in the Federal Register a notice of 
``Initiation of Antidumping (Countervailing) Duty Administrative 
Review,'' for requests received by the last day of September 1996. If 
the Department does not receive, by September 30, 1996, a request for 
review of entries covered by an order or finding listed in this notice 
and for the period identified above, the Department will instruct the 
Customs Service to assess antidumping or countervailing duties on those 
entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or bond for) estimated 
antidumping or countervailing duties required on those entries at the 
time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption and to 
continue to collect the cash deposit previously ordered.
    This notice is not required by statute, but is published as a 
service to the international trading community.

    Dated: August 27, 1996.
Holly Kuga,
Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
