Leather From Argentina; Termination of Countervailing Duty

Administrative Review

AGENCY: International Trade Administration/Import Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of termination of countervailing duty administrative

review.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) has terminated the

countervailing duty administrative review of leather from Argentina,

initiated on November 27, 1992.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 4, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anne S. D'Alauro or Richard Herring,

Office of Countervailing Compliance, International Trade

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

telephone: (202) 482-2786.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 30, 1992, Camara de la Industria

Curtidora Argentina (CICA), and its individually named companies,

Curtiembres Fonseca, Federico Meiners and CIDEC, requested that the

Department conduct an administrative review of the countervailing duty

order on leather from Argentina (55 FR 40212; October 2, 1990) for the

period January 1, 1991 through December 31, 1991. The requesting member

companies of CICA exported leather to the United States during the

period of review and are, therefore, interested parties pursuant to

Sec. 355.2(i) of the Department's regulations. No other interested

party requested the review.

On November 27, 1992, the Department initiated the administrative

review for that period (55 FR 56318). On February 11, 1993, CICA and

its requesting member companies withdrew their request for an

administrative review. Since the request for withdrawal was timely in

accordance with 19 CFR 355.22(a)(3), and because we have no reason to

deny the request, the Department is terminating this review.

This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 355.22(a)(3).

Dated: March 25, 1994.

Joseph A. Spetrini

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
