-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On May 24, 1989, June 1, 1990, and May 12, 1994, the

Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated administrative

reviews of the antidumping duty order on color television receivers

from Korea for the periods April 1, 1988 through March 31, 1989, April

1, 1989 through March 31, 1990, and April 1, 1993 through March 31,

1994, respectively. Based on withdrawal of requests for review of

Goldstar for these three periods from all requesting parties and the

consent to termination by the relevant parties, the Department is now

terminating these reviews.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 29, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Zev Primor or Wendy Frankel, Office of

Antidumping Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C.

Background: On May 24, 1989 (54 FR 22465), June 1, 1990 (55 FR

22366), and May 12, 1994 (59 FR 24683), the Department published in the

Federal Register notices of initiation of administrative reviews of the

antidumping duty order on color television receivers from Korea (49 FR

18336, April 30, 1984) at the request of various interested parties.

The notices stated that the Department would review merchandise sold in

the United States by Goldstar Company, Ltd. (Goldstar), and other

foreign respondents for the periods April 1, 1988 through March 31,

1989, April 1, 1989 through March 31, 1990, and April 1, 1993 through

March 31, 1994.

On May 23, 1994, the Independent Radionic Workers of America,

International Union of Electronic, Electrical, Technical, Salaried, and

Machine Workers, AFL-CIO, the International Brotherhood of Electrical

Workers of America, and the Industrial Union Department, AFL-CIO

(collectively the petitioners) withdrew their requests for the sixth,

seventh, and eleventh administrative reviews of Goldstar and requested

that the Department terminate those reviews.

Also on May 23, 1994, Zenith Electronics Corporation (Zenith)

withdrew its requests for the sixth and seventh administrative reviews

of Goldstar and requested that the Department terminate those reviews.

On May 23, 1994, Goldstar withdrew its request to be reviewed for

the seventh administrative review period and requested termination of

that review. On June 13, 1994, Goldstar consented to termination of the

two periods for which it did not request a review of itself. Finally,

on June 14, 1994, Zenith, an interested party consented to the

termination of the eleventh review of Goldstar.

Section 353.22(a)(5) of our regulations states that ``[t]he

Secretary may permit a party that requests a review under paragraph (a)

of this section to withdraw the request not later than 90 days after

the date of publication of notices of initiation of the requested

review. The Secretary may extend this time limit if the Secretary

decides that it is reasonable to do so.'' Because no party objects to

the proposed terminations and all requesting parties have withdrawn

their requests for review of Goldstar, we are terminating the sixth,

seventh, and eleventh administrative reviews for Goldstar.

This notice is published pursuant to 19 CFR Sec. 353.22(a)(5).

Dated: June 24, 1994.

Holly A. Kuga,

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
