    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 or suspension agreement 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 1870, US 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/Countervailing Enforcement, Attention: Sheila Forbes, in 
room 3065 of the main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with 
section 353.31(g) or 353.31(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 Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation'' for requests received 
by the last day of May 1997. If the Department does not receive, by the 
last day of May 1997, a request for review of entries covered by an 
order, finding, or suspended investigation 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: April 28, 1997.
Jeffrey P. Bialos,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
