suspensory loan program. Loans

covering up to 40 percent of eligible

expenditures were available to

established exporters who increased

their net foreign exchanged earnings

through the marketing of specific goods

or services in a designated foreign

market. If a predetermined sales forecast

was accomplished, the suspensory loan

was converted into a grant; if the

forecast was not met, the exporter

repaid the loan with interest.

During our administrative review

covering the period April 1, 1986,

through March 31, 1987, the Department

verified the EPSLS program and found

that on May 23, 1985, the GONZ

terminated the EPSLS. In addition, the

GONZ announced that its commitments

made under the program prior to that

date would be met. (See Verification

Report Concerning Lamb Meat From

New Zealand (Public Version) dated

April 13, 1988, which has been placed

on the public record of this proceeding.)

No lamb meat exporters were using this

program at the time it was terminated.

(See Verification Report Concerning

Lamb Meat From New Zealand (Public

Version) dated April 13, 1988; Lamb

Meat From New Zealand; Preliminary

Results of Countervailing Duty

Administrative Review, (54 FR 1402;

January 13, 1989) and Lamb Meat From

New Zealand; Final Results of

Countervailing Duty Administrative

Review, (54 FR 19590; May 8, 1989).)

Further, during this review period, we

found no evidence that this program

was used by lamb meat exporters.

Accordingly, we preliminarily

determine that this program has been

terminated and that there are no

residual benefits to lamb meat

producers or exporters.

Preliminary Results of Review

As a result of our review, we

preliminarily determine that total

subsidy to be 0.0013 percent ad valorem

for all firms during the period April 1,

1992, through March 31, 1993. In

accordance with 19 CFR 355.7, any rate

less than 0.50 percent is de minimis and

will be disregarded.

Therefore, as provided for by section

751(a)(1) of the Act, the Department

intends to instruct the Customs Service

to liquidate, upon publication of the

final results of this review in the

Federal Register, without regard to

countervailing duties, all shipments of

the subject merchandise from New

Zealand exported by all companies on

or after April 1, 1992, and on or before

March 31, 1993.

The Department also intends to

instruct the Customs Service not to

collect cash deposits of estimated

countervailing duties on any shipments

of the subject merchandise from New

Zealand entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

the date of publication of the final

results of this administrative review.

Parties to the proceeding may request

disclosure of the calculation

methodology and interested parties may

request a hearing not later than 10 days

after the date of publication of this

notice. Pursuant to 19 CFR 355.38(c),

interested parties may submit written

arguments in case briefs on these

preliminary results within 30 days of

the date of publication. Rebuttal briefs,

limited to arguments raised in case

briefs, may be submitted seven days

after the time limit for filing the case

brief. Any hearing, if requested, will be

held seven days after the scheduled date

for submission of rebuttal briefs. Copies

of case briefs and rebuttal briefs must be

served on interested parties in

accordance with 19 CFR 355.38(e).

Representatives of parties to the

proceeding may request disclosure of

proprietary information under

administrative protective order no later

than 10 days after the representative’s

client or employer becomes a party to

the proceeding, but in no event later

than the date the case briefs are due.

The Department will publish the final

results of this administrative review

including the results of its analysis of

issues raised in any case or rebuttal brief

or at a hearing.

This administrative review and notice

are in accordance with section 751(a)(1)

of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19

CFR 355.22.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department may revoke a

countervailing duty order or terminate a

suspended countervailing duty

investigation if the Secretary of

Commerce concludes that it is no longer

of interest to interested parties.

Accordingly, as required by the

Department’s regulations (at 19 CFR

355.25(d)(4)), we are notifying the

public of our intent to revoke the

countervailing duty orders and to

terminate the suspended countervailing

duty investigation listed below, 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 § 355.25(d)(4)(iii)

of the Department’s regulations, if no

domestic interested party (as defined in

§§ 355.2 (i)(3), (i)(4), (i)(5), and (i)(6) of

the regulations) objects to the

Department’s intent to revoke these

orders or terminate this suspended

investigation pursuant to this notice,

and no interested party (as defined in

§ 355.2(i) of the regulations) requests an

administrative review in accordance

with the Department’s notice of

opportunity to request administrative

review, we shall conclude that the

countervailing duty orders and

suspended countervailing duty

investigation are no longer of interest to

interested parties and proceed with the

revocations. 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 or

terminate pursuant to this notice, the

Department will not revoke the order or

terminate the suspended investigation.

Opportunity to Object

Not later than the last day of March

A separate objection must be filed for

each order or suspension agreement. In

and carbon steel line pipe, C–333–402

includes both apparel and certain textile

mill products), an objection must be

submitted for each separate order, as
