DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

International Trade Administration

Determination Not To Revoke

Antidumping Duty Orders and

Findings Nor To Terminate Suspended

Investigations

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce

ACTION: Determination not to revoke

antidumping duty orders and findings

nor to terminate suspended

investigations

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

is notifying the public of its

determination not to revoke the

antidumping duty order listed below.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 16, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Michael Panfeld or the analyst listed

under Antidumping Proceeding at:

Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, U.S. Department

of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

13, 1997, the Department of Commerce

(Commerce) published a Determination

Not to Revoke Antidumping Duty

Orders and Findings Nor to Terminate

Suspended Investigations (62 FR

43316). In that notice, an interested

party, Chemical Products Corporation,

was inadvertently listed as an objector

to the revocation of industrial belts and

components and parts thereof, whether

cured or uncured, except synchronous &

v belts from Germany. This firm did not

file such an objection. Chemical

Products Corporation did however

object to the revocation of precipitated

barium carbonate from Germany. In

addition, our August 13, 1997 notice

inadvertently did not include the order

on precipitated barium carbonate from

Germany. This notice serves to correctly

identify the sole objector for industrial

belts and components and parts thereof,

whether cured or uncured, except

synchronous and v belts from Germany

and to notify the public that we no

longer intend to revoke the antidumping

duty order on precipitated barium

carbonate from Germany.
