    In accordance with sections 353.22(a) and 355.22(a) of the 
regulations, an interested party as defined by section 353.2(k) may 
request in writing that the Secretary conduct an administrative review. 
The Department has changed its requirements for requesting reviews for 
countervailing duty orders. Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 355.22(a) of the 
Department's Interim Regulations (60 FR 25137 (May 11, 1995)), an 
interested party must specify the individual producers or exporters 
covered by the order for which they are requesting a review. Therefore, 
for both antidumping and countervailing duty reviews, the interested 
party must specify for which individual producers or exporters covered 
by an antidumping finding or an antidumping or countervailing duty 
order 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.
    Seven copies of the request should be submitted to the Assistant 
Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, Room B-099, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street 
and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230. The Department 
also asks parties to serve a copy of their requests to the Office of 
Antidumping Compliance, Attention: Pamela Woods, in room 3065 of the 
main Commerce Building. Further, in accordance with section 353.31(g) 
or 355.31(g) 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 Antidumping (Countervailing) Duty Administrative 
Review,'' for requests received by the last day of July 1996. If the 
Department does not receive, by the last day of July 1996, a request 
for review of entries covered by an order or finding 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: June 28, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
