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

    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 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, 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 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 March 2000. If the Department does not receive, by 
the last day of March 2000, 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: March 8, 2000.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for Import Administration.
