SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 1, 1994, the Department published in the Federal Register

notification of its intent to terminate the suspended investigation

covering Certain Textile Mill Products from Thailand and invited

interested parties to comment (59 FR 9727, dated March 1, 1994). On

March 31, 1994, the Department received timely objections to the intent

to terminate the suspended investigation from the Amalgamated Clothing

and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU); American Textile Manufacturers

Institute, Inc. (ATMI); Certain Individual Producers of ATMI; American

Yarn Spinners Association (AYSA); and Certain Individual Producers of

AYSA.

On April 22, 1994, the Royal Thai Government (RTG) and Thai Textile

Manufacturers Association (TTMA), challenged the interested party

status of those parties who objected to our intent to terminate the

suspended investigation. As a result of the objections received from

the RTG and TTMA, the Department requested certifications demonstrating

interested party status from ACTWU, ATMI, certain individual producers

of ATMI, AYSA, and certain individual producers of AYSA in accordance

with 19 CFR 355.2(i) (3), (4), and (5). Based on our analysis of

interested party status by like product categories (See internal

recommendation from Roland MacDonald to Joseph A. Spetrini dated

January 12, 1995, for a complete analysis), we have determined that it

is appropriate to terminate the suspended investigation with respect to

the following three like product categories because the Department did

not receive certifications demonstrating interested party status:

(1) Yarn of Man Made Fiber

Continuous Cellulosic

5401.20.0000

5406.20.0000

(2) Other Miscellaneous Categories

Wadding & Articles

5601.10.1000
