SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 18, 1987, the Department published in the Federal Register
(52 FR 8492) an antidumping duty order on certain fresh cut flowers
from Colombia. On March 31, 1994, the antidumping order was revoked in
the fourth administrative review as it applied to the Flores
Colombianas Group. In a letter dated August 23, 1996, Flores El Talle
Ltda. (Flores El Talle) notified the Department that the company shares
the same ownership and management with the other Flores Colombianas
Group companies, and that Flores El Talle should receive the same
antidumping duty treatment that is accorded the Flores Colombianas
Group.

Initiation of Review

The Department is initiating this review to determine whether
Flores El Talle is a member of the Flores Colombianas Group and, if so,
whether the revocation applicable to the Flores Colombianas Group also
applies to Flores El Talle. If we determine that the revocation is
applicable to Flores El Talle, we will instruct U.S. Customs officials
to liquidate all entries of Colombian fresh flowers from Flores El
Talle without regard to antidumping duties.
We are hereby notifying the public that we are initiating a changed

Act and section 353.22(f)(1)(i) of the Department regulations.

Dated: October 7, 1997.
