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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is notifying the public of its

determination not to revoke the countervailing duty order on malleable

iron pipe fittings from Thailand.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Albright, Office of

Countervailing Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S.

Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202)482-2786.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 1, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the Department)

published in the Federal Register (59 FR 4692) its intent to revoke the

countervailing duty order on malleable iron pipe fittings from Thailand

(54 FR 6439; February 10, 1989). 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 or no interested party requests

an administrative review by the last day of the fifth anniversary

month.

On February 28, 1994, the Cast Iron Pipe Fitting Committee,

petitioners in the original investigation, objected to our intent to

revoke the order. 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: March 22, 1994.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
