RE: LIQUIDATION OF CEILING FANS FROM THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC
OF CHINA (A-570-206)


1. AS A RESULT OF A NOTIFICATION FROM THE PETITIONERS, THAT THEY
WERE NO LONGER INTERESTED IN THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON
CEILING FANS FROM THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, THE DEPARTMENT

REVOCATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER (60 FR 14420) ON 03/07/1995.
SEE MESSAGE NUMBER 5093111, DATED 04/03/1995. THE EFFECTIVE DATE

PRODUCT THAT WERE SUSPENDED ON OR AFTER 06/01/1992 WITHOUT REGARD
TO ANTIDUMPING DUTIES (I.E., RELEASE ALL BONDS AND REFUND ALL
