    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 C.F.R. 355.22(a) of the 
regulations, an interest 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 for 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 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 355.31(g) of the regulations, a copy of each 
request must be served on every party of 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 June 1997. If the Department does not 
receive, by the last day of June 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: June 4, 1997.

Jeffrey P. Bialos,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
