In accordance with Sec. 355.25(d)(4)(iii) of the Department's

regulations, if domestic interested parties (defined in

Secs. 355.2(i)(3), (i)(4), (i)(5), and (i)(6) of the regulations) do

not object to the Department's intent to revoke these orders or

terminate these suspended investigations pursuant to this notice, or

interested parties (defined in Sec. 355.2(i) of the regulations) do not

request an administrative review in accordance with the Department's

notice of opportunity to request administrative review, we shall

conclude that the countervailing duty orders or suspended

investigations are no longer of interest to interested parties and

shall proceed with the revocation(s) or termination(s).

Opportunity to Object

Not later than 30 days after the publication date of this notice,

domestic interested parties may object to the Department's intent to

revoke these countervailing duty orders or terminate these suspended

investigations. Any submission objecting to a revocation or termination

must include the name and case number of the order or suspension

agreement and a statement that explains how the objecting party

qualifies as a domestic interested party under Secs. 355.2(i)(3),

(i)(4), (i)(5), or (i)(6) of the Department's regulations.

A separate objection must be filed for each order or suspension

agreement. In instances where two or more countervailing duty orders or

suspension agreements share the same case number (e.g., C-489-509

includes welded carbon steel pipes and tubes, and carbon steel line

pipe, or C-333-402 includes certain apparel, and certain textile mill

products), an objection must be submitted for each separate order or

suspension agreement, as listed above.

Seven copies of any such objections should be submitted to the

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, International Trade

Administration, Room B-099, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC

20230.
