ON JANUARY 27, 1995, IN RESPONSE TO A REQUEST BY HERMANN-OAK
LEATHER CO., SALZ LEATHER CO., PRIME TANNING CO., INC.,
IRVING TANNING CO., S.B. FOOT TANNING CO., WESTFIELD TANNING
CO., SUNCOOK TANNING CORP., UNITED TANNERS, INC., AND PAUL

A PRELIMINARY SCOPE RULING THAT UPPER BOVINE LEATHER WITHOUT
HAIR ON, NOT WHOLE, PREPARED AFTER TANNING AND NOT EXCEEDING
28 SQUARE FEET IS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE COUNTERVAILING DUTY
ORDER ON LEATHER FROM ARGENTINA (C-357-803).

BECAUSE THE IMPORTED PRODUCT IS UPPER BOVINE LEATHER WITHOUT

FEET, THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT PRELIMINARILY FOUND THIS
PRODUCT TO BE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ORDER.
