SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 31, 1995, the Department received a request for an 
administrative review of this countervailing duty order from AHMSA, a 
Mexican exporter of the subject merchandise, for the period January 1, 
1994, through December 31, 1994. No other interested party requested a 
review of the countervailing duty order. On September 15, 1995, the 
Department published in the Federal Register (60 FR 47930) a notice of 
``Initiation of Countervailing Duty Administrative Review'' initiating 
the administrative review of AHMSA for that period. On December 4, 
1995, AHMSA withdrew its request for review.
    Section 355.22(a)(3) of the Department's regulations stipulates 
that the Secretary may permit a party that requests a review to 
withdraw the request not later than 90 days after the date of 
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. In 
this case, AHMSA has withdrawn its request for review within the 90-day 
period. No other interested party requested a review, and we have 
received no submissions regarding AHMSA's withdrawal of its request for 
review. Therefore, we are terminating the review of the countervailing 
duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate from Mexico.
    This notice is published in accordance with 19 CFR 355.22(a)(3).

    Dated: January 16, 1996.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
