SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 1, 1996 (61 FR 3670), the

Department published in the Federal

Register a notice of initiation of

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on certain

cased pencils from the PRC. This notice

stated that the Department would

review merchandise sold in the United

States by SFTC during the period

December 21, 1994 through November

30, 1995.

The petitioners in this case withdrew

their request for review of SFTC on

April 29, 1996. Under 19 CFR

353.22(a)(5) (1994), a party requesting a

review may withdraw that request no

later than 90 days after the date of

publication of the notice of initiation.

Because the withdrawal request was

made within the time frame specified in

19 CFR 353.22(a)(5), and no other

interested party has requested an

administrative review for SFTC for this

period, the Department is now

terminating this review, in-part, with

respect to SFTC.

Dated: May 17, 1996.

This notice is published pursuant to 19

CFR 353.22(a)(5).

Solid Urea From the Former German

Democratic Republic; Initiation of

Changed Circumstances Antidumping

Duty Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Commerce.

ACTION: Initiation of changed

circumstances antidumping duty

review.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

is initiating a changed circumstances

review of the antidumping duty order

on solid urea from the former German

Democratic Republic (GDR) in order to

calculate a new cash deposit rate using

a market economy analysis for any

shipments of solid urea from the five

German states (Brandenburg,

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony,

Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia (plus any

other territory included in the former

GDR)) that formerly constituted the GDR

(hereinafter ‘‘the Five States’’) occurring

after May 1, 1995 and before May 31,

1996.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 30, 1996.

Compliance, Import Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Pursuant to section 751(b) of the

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the

Tariff Act) and 19 CFR 353.22(f), the

Department may review a determination

whenever changed circumstances are

sufficient to warrant such a review. In

the instant case, the current cash

deposit rate is based upon the nonmarket economy analysis provided for

in section 773(c) of the Act. However,

the Department has determined that as

of October 3, 1990, producers located in

the five German states that formerly

constituted the GDR have been

operating in a market-oriented economy.

See Final Affirmative Countervailing

Duty Determinations; Certain Steel

Products from Germany, 58 FR 37315,

37324 (July 9, 1993).

On May 1, 1995, the Department

published in the Federal Register (60

FR 21068) the initiation of a changed

circumstances review to calculate a new

cash deposit rate using a marketeconomy analysis for any shipments of

solid urea from the Five States occurring

after October 2, 1990, and before May 1,

1995. On March 14, 1996, the

Department published in the Federal

Register (61 FR 10563) a termination of

that changed circumstances review

because it found no evidence of

shipments occurring during this period.

The Department now has evidence of

shipment(s) of solid urea from the Five

States occurring after May 1, 1995. As

a result, and in accordance with 19 CFR

353.22(f), we are initiating a changed

circumstance review of the antidumping

duty order on solid urea from the former

GDR. In this review, the Department

will calculate a new cash deposit rate

using a market economy analysis for any

shipments of solid urea from the Five

States occurring after May 1, 1995, and

before May 31, 1996. See Antidumping

Duty Order and Initiation of a Changed

Circumstances Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review: Certain Cut-toLength Carbon Steel Plates from Poland,

58 FR 44166 (1993) (change from a nonmarket to market economy justified a

changed circumstances review to

calculate a new cash deposit rate).

We intend to issue the final results of

this review not later than December 31,

1996.

Dated: May 22, 1996.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for

Compliance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title III of

the Export Trading Company Act of

1982 (‘‘the Act’’) [Pub. L. No. 97–290, 15

U.S.C. 4011–21] authorizes the

Secretary of Commerce to issue export

trade certificates of review. The

regulations implementing Title III [‘‘the

Regulations’’] are found at 15 CFR part

325 (1986). Pursuant to this authority, a

certificate of review was issued on

November 10, 1994 to William E. Elliott

(d/b/a Export Exchange).

A certificate holder is required by law

to submit to the Department of

Commerce annual reports that update

financial and other information relating

to business activities covered by its

certificate (Section 308 of the Act, 15

U.S.C. 4018, Section 235.14 (a) of the

Regulations, 15 CFR 325.14 (a)). The

annual report is due within 45 days

after the anniversary date of the

issuance of the certificate of review

[Sections 325.14 (b) of the Regulations,

15 CFR 325.14 (b)). Failure to submit a

complete annual report may be the basis

for revocation (Sections 325.10(a) and

325.14(c) of the Regulations, 15 CFR

325.10(a) (3) and 325.14(c)).

On October 31, 1995, the Department

of Commerce sent to William E. Elliott

(d/b/a Export Exchange) a letter

containing annual report questions with

a reminder that its annual report was

due on December 25, 1995. Additional

reminders were sent on February 9,

1996 and on March 4, 1996. The

Department has received no written

response from William E. Elliott (d/b/a

Export Exchange) to any of these letters.

On April 18, 1996, and in accordance

with Section 325.10 (c) [2] of the

Regulations, [15 CFR 325.10 (c) (2)], the

Department of Commerce sent a letter

by certified mail to notify William E.

Elliott (d/b/a Export Exchange) that the

Department was formally initiating the

process to revoke its certificate for

failure to file an annual report. In

addition, a summary of this letter

allowing William E. Elliott (d/b/a Export

Exchange) thirty days to respond was

published in the Federal Register on

April 24, 1996 at 61 FR 18121. Pursuant

to 325.10(c) (2) of the Regulations (15

CFR 325.10(c) (2)), the Department

considers the failure of William E.

Elliott (d/b/a Export Exchange) to

respond to be an admission of the

statements contained in the notification

letter.

The Department has determined to

revoke the certificate issued to William

E. Elliott (d/b/a Export Exchange) for its

failure to file an annual report. The

Department has sent a letter, dated May

24, 1996, to notify William E. Elliott (d/

b/a Export Exchange) of its

determination. The revocation is

effective thirty (30) days from the date

of publication of this notice. Any person

aggrieved by this decision may appeal to

an appropriate U.S. district court within

30 days from the date on which this

notice is published in the Federal

Register 325.10(c) (4) and 325.11 of the

Regulations, 15 CFR 324.10(c) (4) and

325.11 of the Regulations, 15 CFR

325.10(c) (4) and 325.11.
