------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with Sec. 351.213 of the regulations, an interested 
party as defined by section 771(9) of the Act 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 771(9) of the Act, an interested party must specify 
the individual producers or exporters covered by the order or 
suspension agreement for which they are requesting a review (Department 
of Commerce Regulations, 62 FR 27295, 27424 (May 19, 1997)). 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

[[Page 30964]]

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, 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/Countervailing Enforcement, Attention: Sheila Forbes, in 
room 3065 of the main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with 
Sec. 351.303(f)(1)(i) 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 June 1999. If the Department does not receive, by 
the last day of June 1999, 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, 1999.
Bernard R. Carreau,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Group II, AD/CVD Enforcement.
