SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On November 8, 1994, the Department published in the Federal

Register (59 FR 55637) its intent to terminate the suspended

countervailing duty investigation on frozen concentrated orange juice

from Brazil (see Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice from Brazil;

Suspension of Investigation--48 FR 8839--March 2, 1983). Under 19 CFR

355.25(d)(4)(iii), the Secretary of Commerce will conclude that a

suspended investigation is no longer of interest to interested parties

and will terminate the suspended investigation if no domestic

interested party objects to termination or no interested party requests

an administrative review by the last day of the fifth anniversary

month.

On December 6, 1994, Florida Citrus Mutual, a trade association,

and certain U.S. producers of frozen concentrated orange juice,

petitioners in the original investigation, objected to our intent to

terminate the suspended investigation. Therefore, the requirements of

19 CFR Sec. 355.25(d)(4)(iii) have not been met, and we will not

terminate the suspended investigation.

This determination is in accordance with 19 CFR

Sec. 355.25(d)(4)(iii).

Dated: January 10, 1995.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
