    In accordance with section 351.213(b) 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. For 
both antidumping and countervailing duty reviews, the interested party 
must specify the individual producers or exporters covered by an 
antidumping finding or an antidumping or countervailing duty order or 
suspension agreement for which 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.
    Six 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, NW., Washington, DC 20230. The Department also 
asks parties to serve a copy of their requests 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)(l)(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 January 2001. If the Department does not receive, by 
the last day of January 2001, 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: January 11, 2001.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II for Import Administration.
