    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 has 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, 1996)). Therefore, for

[[Page 64354]]

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 request 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 of Administrative Review of Antidumping or Countervailing 
Duty Order, Finding, or Suspended Investigation'' for requests received 
by the last day of December 1997. If the Department does not receive, 
by the last day of December 1997, 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: November 28, 1997.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II, Import Administration.
