    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 and suspension agreements. Pursuant to 19 
CFR 355.22(a) of the regulations, an interested party must specify the 
individual producers or exporters covered by the order or suspension 
agreements for which they are requesting a review, (Interim 
Regulations, 69 FR 25130, 25137 (May 11, 1995)). Therefore, for 
antidumping and countervailing duty reviews, and suspension agreements, 
the interested party must specify for which individual producers or 
exporters covered by an antidumping finding, antidumping or 
countervailing duty order or suspension agreement 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, NW., Washington, DC 20230. The Department also 
asks parties to serve a copy of their requests to the Office of 
Antidumping Compliance, Attention: Sheila Forbes, in room 3064 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 October 31, 1966. If the Department 
does not receive, by October 31, 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 entities at the time of eatery, 
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: September 24, 1996.
Jeffrey P. Bialos,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
