ACTION: Notice of determination not to

revoke countervailing duty orders.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

(the Department) is notifying the public

of its determination not to revoke the

countervailing duty orders listed below.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 28, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Import Administration, International

Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone:

(202) 482–2786.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On December 20, 1996, the

Department published in the Federal

Register (61 FR 67321) its intent to

revoke the following countervailing

duty orders:

COUNTERVAILING DUTY ORDERS

Brazil: ............ Brass Sheet and Strip (C–351–604) ........................................................................................................ 01/08/87, 52 FR 698

Korea: ........... Stainless Steel Cookware (C–580–602) .................................................................................................. 01/20/87, 52 FR 2140

Spain: ........... Stainless Steel Wire Rod (C–469–004) ................................................................................................... 01/03/83, 48 FR 52

Taiwan: ......... Stainless Steel Cookware (C–583–604) .................................................................................................. 01/20/87, 52 FR 2141

Under 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(iii), the

Secretary of Commerce will conclude

that an order is no longer of interest to

interested parties and will revoke the

order if no domestic interested party (as

defined in §§ 355.2(i)(3), (i)(4), (i)(5),

and (i)(6) of the regulations) objects to

revocation and no interested party

requests an administrative review by the

last day of the 5th anniversary month.

Within the specified time frame, we

received objections from domestic

interested parties to our intent to revoke

these countervailing duty orders.

Therefore, because the requirements of

19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(iii) have not been

met, we will not revoke these orders.

This determination is in accordance

with 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4).

Dated: March 18, 1997.

Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for

Import Administration.

Ukraine: Postponement of Preliminary

Determination in Antidumping Duty

Investigation

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of postponement of

preliminary determination of

antidumping duty investigation.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

(the Department) is postponing the

preliminary determination for the

investigation on certain cut-to-length

carbon steel plate products from the

People’s Republic of China, the Russian

Federation, the Republic of South

Africa, and Ukraine. This postponement

is made pursuant to the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended by the Uruguay

Round Agreements Act (hereinafter,

‘‘the Act’’).

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 28, 1997.

Gerard Zapiain or Elizabeth Patience,

482–0190 or 482-0195; for companies

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the

Act) are references to the provisions

effective January 1, 1995, the effective

date of the amendments made to the Act

by the Uruguay Rounds Agreements

Act.

Postponement of Preliminary

Determinations

We have determined that these

investigations are extraordinarily

complicated within the meaning of

section 733(c)(1)(B)(i) of the Act. Among

other considerations, there is a large

number of respondents, and claims for

separate rates will have to be analyzed

individually (see Decision

Memorandum from Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD

Enforcement to Robert LaRussa, Acting

Assistant Secretary, Import

Administration, March 20, 1997).

Furthermore, we have determined

that the parties concerned are

cooperating, as required by section

733(c)(1)(B) of the Act, and that

additional time is necessary to make

these preliminary determinations in

accordance with section 733(c)(1)(B)(ii)

of the Act.

For these reasons, the deadline for

issuing the preliminary determination

in these cases is now no later than May

14, 1997.

This notice is published pursuant to

section 733(c)(2) of the Act.

Dated: March 21, 1997.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Enforcement,

Group III.
