    In accordance with section 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 
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)(l)(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 November 1999. If the Department does not receive, 
by the last day of November 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 statue but is published as a service 
to the international trading community.

    Dated: November 9, 1999.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for AD/CVD Enforcement.
