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

    In accordance with section 351.213(b) 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. For both 
antidumping and countervailing duty reviews, the interested party must 
specify the individual producers or exporters covered by an antidumping 
finding or an antidumping or countervailing duty order or suspension 
agreement for which 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.
    As explained in Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 69 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), the 
Department has clarified its practice with respect to the collection of 
final antidumping duties on imports of merchandise where intermediate 
firms are involved. The public should be aware of this clarification in 
determining whether to request an administrative review of merchandise 
subject to antidumping findings and orders. See also the Import 
Administration Web site at http://www.ia.ita.doc.gov.
    Six 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 
section 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

[[Page 52183]]

of Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, 
Finding, or Suspended Investigation'' for requests received by the last 
day of September 2003. If the Department does not receive, by the last 
day of September 2003, 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: August 27, 2003.
Gary Taverman,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for Import Administration.
