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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is revoking the countervailing duty

order on standard carnations from Canada because it is no longer of

interest to interested parties.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 1993.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia W. Stroup or Sarah Givens,

Office of Countervailing Compliance, International Trade

Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230;

telephone: (202) 482-0983 or 482-2786.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 1, 1993, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'')

published in the Federal Register (58 FR 11844) its intent to revoke

the countervailing duty order on standard carnations from Canada (52 FR

7645; March 12, 1987). Additionally, as required by 19 CFR

355.25(d)(4)(ii) (1993), the Department served written notice of its

intent to revoke this countervailing duty order on each party listed on

the most current service list.

Scope of the Order

Imports covered by this order are shipments of fresh cut standard

carnations from Canada. This merchandise is currently classifiable

under Harmonized Tariff Schedules (``HTS'') item number 0603.10.7030.

The HTS numbers are provided for convenience and Customs purposes. The

written description remains dispositive.

Determination to Revoke

The Department may revoke a countervailing duty order if the

Secretary of Commerce concludes that the order is no longer of interest

to interested parties. We conclude that there is no interest in a

countervailing duty order when no interested party has requested an

administrative review for at least five consecutive review periods (19

CFR 355.25(d)(4)(i)) and when no domestic interested party objects to

the revocation (19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(iii)).

Accordingly, as we received neither objections to our notice of

intent to revoke the countervailing duty order nor requests for an

administrative review, we have concluded that the countervailing duty

order covering standard carnations from Canada is no longer of interest

to interested parties. Therefore, we are revoking this countervailing

duty order in accordance with 19 CFR 355.25(d)(4)(iii).

Further, as required by 19 CFR 355.25(d)(5), the Department is

terminating the suspension of liquidation and will instruct the Customs

Service to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, all

unliquidated entries of this merchandise exported from Canada on or

after January 1, 1993.

This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR

355.25(d)(4)(iii).

Dated: February 17, 1994.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
