SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 17, 1997, Amabile S.r.l. (``Amabile'') requested that the
Department conduct a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order
on certain pasta from Italy. On August 15, 1997, the Department
initiated a new shipper review for Amabile relating to the antidumping
duty order on certain pasta from Italy, covering the period July 1,
1996 through June 30, 1997 (62 FR 44643, August 22, 1997). On September
4, 1997, we issued the Department's antidumping duty questionnaire
1 to Amabile. On October 3, 1997, Amabile requested an
extension to respond and consequently submitted its response to
Sections A-C of the questionnaire on November 3, 1997. The Department
initiated a cost investigation on December 24, 1997, and Amabile
submitted its response to Section D of the antidumping questionnaire on
January 28, 1998.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ Section A of the questionnaire requests information
concerning a company's corporate structure and business practices,
the merchandise under review that it sells, and the sales of the
merchandise in all of its markets. Sections B and C of the
questionnaire request home market sales listings and U.S. sales
listings, respectively. Section D requests additional information
about the cost of production.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

On January 22, 1998, the Department extended the time for
completion of the preliminary results of this review to no later than
June 11, 1998 (63 FR 4218, January 28, 1998).

Termination of New Shipper Review

On February 19, 1998, counsel for Amabile informed the Department
in writing that its only U.S. sales during the period of review had
been canceled. Given its lack of sales to the United States during the
period of review, Amabile withdrew its request for a new shipper review
and requested that the Department terminate the new shipper review.
Therefore, the Department is terminating the new shipper review
concerning Amabile.
This notice is published pursuant to 19 CFR 353.22(h).

Dated: March 19, 1998.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
