SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    The Department may revoke a countervailing duty order 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 revoke the countervailing duty orders listed below, 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 revoke this order pursuant to this notice, 
and no interested party (as defined in section 355.2(i) of the 
regulations) requests an administrative review in accordance with the 
Department's notice of opportunity to request administrative review, we 
shall conclude that the countervailing duty order is no longer of 
interest to interested parties and proceed with the revocation. 
However, if an interested party does request an administrative review 
in accordance with the Department's notice of opportunity to request 
administrative review, or a domestic interested party does object to 
the Department's intent to revoke pursuant to this notice, the 
Department will not revoke the order.
