SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19 
C.F.R. 351.213(b)(1997), for administrative reviews of various 
antidumping and countervailing duty orders and findings with September 
anniversary dates. The Department also received timely requests to 
revoke in part the antidumping duty orders on certain cold-rolled 
carbon steel flat products from South Korea and certain corrosion-
resistant carbon steel flat products from South Korea. The requests for 
revocation in part with respect to certain cold-rolled carbon steel 
flat products and certain corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat 
products from South Korea were inadvertently omitted from the previous 
initiation notice (62 FR 50292, September 25, 1997). In addition, the 
Department received a request to defer for one year the initiation of 
the March 1, 1996 through August 31, 1997 administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on large newspaper printing presses and 
components thereof, whether assembled or unassembled, from Japan in 
accordance with 19 C.F.R. 351.213(c). The Department received no 
objections to this request from any party cited in 19 C.F.R. 
351.213(c)(1)(ii).

Initiation of Reviews

    In accordance with section 19 C.F.R. 351.221(c)(1)(i), we are 
initiating administrative reviews of the following antidumping and 
countervailing duty orders and findings. We intend to issue the final 
results of these reviews not later than September 30, 1998. Also, in 
accordance with 19 C.F.R. 351.213(c), we are deferring for one year the 
initiation of the March 1, 1996 through August 31, 1997 administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on large large newspaper printing 
presses and components thereof, whether assembled or unassembled, from 
Japan.
