Background

The Department may revoke a

Secretary of Commerce concludes that it

is no longer of interest to interested

parties. Accordingly, as required by the

Department’s regulation (at 19 CFR

for which the Department has not

received a request to conduct an

administrative review for the most

recent four consecutive annual

anniversary months.

In accordance with section

355.25(d)(4)(iii) of the Department’s

regulations, if no domestic interested

party (as defined in sections 355.2 (i)(3),

(i)(4), (i)(5), and (i)(6) of the regulations)

revoke the order pursuant to this notice,

and no interested party (as defined in

requests an administrative review in

accordance with the Department’s

notice of opportunity to request

administrative review, we shall

conclude that the countervailing duty

order is no longer of interest to

interested parties and proceed with the

revocation. However, if an interested

party does request an administrative

review in accordance with the

Department’s notice of opportunity to

request administrative review, or a

domestic interested party does object to

the Department’s intent to revoke

pursuant to this notice, the Department

will not revoke the order.
