SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 14, 1995, the Department of Commerce published in the

Federal Register a notice of initiation of administrative review of the

suspended countervailing duty investigation on gray portland cement and

clinker from Venezuela (60 FR 19017) at the request of the Ad Hoc

Committee of Florida Producers of Gray Portland Cement. This notice

stated that we would review information submitted by the Government of

Venezuela for the period January 1, 1994 through December 31, 1994. The

Ad Hoc Committee of Florida Producers of Gray Portland Cement

subsequently withdrew their request for review on July 5, 1995. Under

Sec. 355.22(a)(3) of the Department's regulations, a party requesting a

review may withdraw that request no later than 90 days after the date

of publication of the notice of initiation. Because the withdrawal by

the Ad Hoc Committee of Florida Producers of Gray Portland Cement

occurred within the time frame specified in 19 CFR 355.22(a)(3), and no

other interested party has requested an administrative review for this

period, the Department is now terminating this review.

This notice is published pursuant to Sec. 355.22(a)(3) of the

Department's regulations (19 CFR 355.22(a)(3)).

Dated: August 3, 1995.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
