SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On July 28, 1987, the Department published in the Federal Register

a suspension agreement on certain forged steel crankshafts from Brazil.

At the request of the Brazilian government, the Department continued

its investigation (52 FR 28177). On October 15, 1987, the Department

published in the Federal Register its final affirmative countervailing

duty determination (52 FR 38254). No interested party has requested a

review of this suspension agreement for over four consecutive

anniversary months.

On August 4, 1994, the Department published in the Federal Register

(59 FR 39744) its notice of intent to terminate the suspension

agreement as well as the underlying investigation on certain forged

steel crankshafts from Brazil. Additionally, as required by 19 CFR

355.25(d)(4)(ii)(1994), the Department served written notice of its

intent to terminate the suspension agreement as well as the underlying

investigation, on each party listed on the Department's most current

service list.

Scope of the Order

Imports covered by this order are shipments from Brazil of certain

forged steel crankshafts, with a shipping weight of between 40 and 750

pounds, whether machined or unmachined.

Determination to Terminate

According to 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(iii), the Department may terminate

a suspended investigation if, by the last day of the fifth annual

anniversary month, no interested party objects to our notice of intent

to terminate, or requests an administrative review.

We received neither requests for an administrative review nor

objections to our notice of intent to terminate the suspension

agreement as well as the underlying investigation. Therefore, we have

concluded that the suspension agreement as well as the underlying

investigation we have concluded that the suspension agreement as well

as the underlying investigation covering certain forged steel

crankshafts from Brazil are no longer of interest to interested

parties, and we are terminating this suspension agreement as well as

the underlying investigation, in accordance with 19 CFR

Sec. 355.25(d)(4)(iii).

This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR

Sec. 355.25(d)(4)(iii).

Dated: November 9, 1994.

Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
