1. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE DID NOT RECEIVE A REQUEST FOR AN
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW OF ALL MANUFACTURERS/EXPORTERS COVERED

FROM BRAZIL (C-351-406) FOR THE PERIOD 01/01/95 - 12/31/95.

3. THEREFORE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 355.22(G) OF THE
COMMERCE REGULATIONS, YOU ARE TO ASSESS COUNTERVAILING
DUTIES AT RATES EQUAL TO THE CASH DEPOSIT OF ESTIMATED
