1Zimbabwe became a signatory to the WTO on

March 3, 1995, and Israel became a signatory to the

WTO on April 21, 1995.

1Applies only to the dutiable merchandise within

the scope of the order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

We have listed in the appendix to this

notice countervailing duty orders issued

under former section 303 of the Act. At

the time these orders were issued, U.S.

law did not require injury

determinations as a prerequisite to their

issuance. With the accession of the

United States to the World Trade

Organization (WTO) and the enactment

of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act

of 1994 (URAA), P.L. 103–465, U.S. law

has changed. Under the URAA, the

Government of the United States may

not assess countervailing duties on

imports from a WTO member country in

the absence of an injury determination.

Thus, as noted in the Statement of

Administrative Action, new section 753

of the Act (as amended by the URAA)

provides that for such orders ‘‘. . . a

domestic interested party may request

that the [International Trade]

Commission initiate an investigation to

determine whether an industry in the

United States is likely to be materially

injured by reason of imports of the

merchandise subject to the CVD order if

the order is revoked.’’ See Statement of

Administrative Action, URAA, p.272.

Opportunity to Request a Section 753

Injury Investigation

On January 1, 1995, the countries

listed in the Appendix joined the

WTO.1 Therefore, for each

countervailing duty order listed din the

Appendix, we are notifying all domestic

interested parties, as described in

sections 771(9)(C), (D), (E), (F), or (G) of

the Act, of their right to request an

injury investigation under section 753(a)

from the U.S. International Trade

Commission (the Commission). In

accordance with sections 753(b) (3) and

(4) of the Act, outstanding section 303

orders for which the Commission has

not previously made an affirmative

injury determination will be revoked by

the Department unless a request for an

injury investigation is submitted to the

Commission within six months of the

date on which the country covered by

the order joins the WTO, and the

Commission renders an affirmative

injury determination pursuant to section

753(a)(1) of the Act. For those countries

which joined the WTO on January 1,

1995, requests must be filed with the

Commission no later than June 30, 1995.

Requests for injury investigations

under section 753 must be filed with the

Commission in accordance with 19 CFR

207.46(b), added by 60 FR 18, 22–23

(January 3, 1995). All requests should be

addressed to: Secretary, U.S.

International Trade Commission, 500 E

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20436.

If investigations under section 753(a)

of the Act are requested with respect to

more than one countervailing duty order

covering the same or comparable subject

merchandise, the Commission may

conduct such investigations jointly.

Domestic interested parties, in their

requests under section 753(a), may

propose for the Commission’s

consideration countervailing duty

orders suitable for joint consideration.

In addition, domestic interested

parties that request an injury

investigation under section 753(a) of the

Act may request under section 751(c) of

the Act that ‘‘sunset reviews’’ of any

outstanding antidumping or

countervailing duty order involving the

same or comparable subject

merchandise be expedited so that these

reviews are conducted

contemporaneously with the

investigation(s) under section 753(a).

Requests for expedited sunset reviews

must be submitted to the Department in

accordance with the procedures and

requirements established for

administrative reviews in 19 CFR 355.31

on the same day as the request for an

investigation under section 753(a) is

filed with the Commission. If the

Department, after consulting with

Commission, commences an expedited

sunset review under section 751(c), the

Commission may conduct

contemporaneous proceedings under

sections 751(c) and 753(a) of the Act

and may cumulate imports from the

subject countries.
