SUMMARY: On October 26, 1993, National Steel Corporation (National)

requested that the Department of Commerce (Department) terminate the

changed circumstances administrative review of DNN Galvanizing Corp.

(DNN). The Department is now terminating this review, and liquidation

of imports of corrosion-resistant steel from DNN will continue to be

suspended at the current rate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On August 31, 1993, the Department received a request from National

to conduct immediately a changed circumstances review of imports of

corrosion-resistant steel from DNN pursuant to section 751(b) of the

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). National indicated that DNN

had begun tolling steel to which National held title after the period

of investigation. National alleged that liquidation of its imports of

tolled steel was being suspended at a rate based on untolled sales. On

September 14, 1993, the Department initiated this review, after

determining that these allegations by National constituted sufficient

good cause to warrant initiating a changed circumstances review before

the end of the second annual anniversary month of the antidumping duty

order.

On October 26, 1993, National indicated to the Department that it

no longer desired a review of DNN's sales, and requested that the

Department terminate this review.

One of the bases of good cause for conducting this review was that

DNN had begun to toll steel from National, and that, as a result, a

rate for untolled steel was being applied to National's tolled steel.

As National has now indicated that it is no longer interested in a

review of imports of that steel, the Department concludes that there is

no longer good cause to conduct this review, as required by section

751(b)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 353.22(f)(3).

Accordingly, the Department has decided to terminate the changed

circumstances administrative review. This notice is published pursuant

to section 751(b) of the Act and Sec. 353.22(f) of the Department's

regulations (19 CFR 353.22(f)).

Dated: January 5, 1994.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
