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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is notifying the

public of its determination not to revoke the countervailing duty order

on non-rubber footwear from Argentina.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 20, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Albright or Lorenza Olivas,

Office of Countervailing Compliance, Import Administration,

(202) 482-2786.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On December 30, 1993, the Department published in the Federal

Register (58 FR 69343) its intent to revoke the countervailing duty

order on non-rubber footwear from Argentina (52 FR 3474; January 17,

1979). Under 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(iii), the Secretary of Commerce will

conclude that an order is no longer of interest to interested parties

and will revoke the order if no domestic interested party objects to

revocation and no interested party requests an administrative review by

the last day of the fifth anniversary month.

On January 21, 1994, we received objections filed on behalf of

forty U.S. manufacturers of non-rubber footwear, interested parties

within the meaning of 19 CFR 355.2(i)(3). Therefore, because the

requirements of 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(iii) have not been met, we will not

revoke the order.

This determination is in accordance with 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4).

Dated: October 13, 1994.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
