Porcelain-on-Steel Cookingware From Mexico; Preliminary Results of a Countervailing Duty Administrative Review

요약

In response to requests by a respondent, Acero Porcelanizado, S.A. de C.V. (APSA), and by the Government of Mexico on behalf of Esmaltaciones San Ignacio S.A. (San Ignacio), the Department of Commerce (the Department) initiated an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on porcelain-on-steel cookingware from Mexico for APSA and San Ignacio (60 FR 19017; January 13, 1995). Because the Government of Mexico withdrew its request for review of San Ignacio, the Department is now terminating this review in part with respect to San Ignacio. We preliminarily determine the net subsidy to be de minimis for APSA for the period January 1, 1994 through December 31, 1994. If the final results remain the same as these preliminary results, the Department intends to instruct the U.S. Customs Service to liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, all shipments of the subject merchandise from APSA exported on or after January 1, 1994, and on or before December 31, 1994. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
