Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of preliminary results of

countervailing duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

(the Department) is conducting an

administrative review of the

countervailing duty (CVD) order on

certain apparel from Thailand. We

preliminarily determine the net bounty

or grant to be that described in the

‘‘Preliminary Results of Review’’

section. If the final results remain the

same as these preliminary results of

administrative review, we will instruct

the U.S. Customs Service to assess

countervailing duties as indicated

above. Interested parties are invited to

comment on these preliminary results.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 3, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 12, 1985, the Department

published the Final Affirmative

Countervailing Duty Determination and

Countervailing Duty Order; Certain

Apparel from Thailand (50 FR 9819)

(Certain Apparel). On March 13, 1992,

the Department published a Notice of

Intent to Revoke Countervailing Duty

Orders (57 FR 8860). We received a

timely objection to the Department’s

intended revocation and a request for an

administrative review of the review

period January 1, 1991, through

December 31, 1991, from the

Amalgamated Clothing and Textile

Workers Union (ACTWU). The review

was initiated on April 13, 1992. See

Initiation of Antidumping and

Countervailing Duty Administrative

Reviews (57 FR 12797).

Subsequently, the Royal Thai

Government (RTG) filed comments on

the ACTWU’s objection to the

revocation of the order, claiming that

the ACTWU lacked standing under 19

U.S.C. § 1677(9)(D) to object to

revocation on a number of the like

products covered by the CVD order.1 On

July 19, 1996, the Department

preliminarily determined that the

ACTWU had standing for 57 of the 87
