 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

 Background

 On October 11, 1984, the Department of Commerce ("the Department") published in the
 Federal Register (49 FR 39886) the preliminary results of its administrative review of the
 countervailing duty order on certain textile and textile products from Argentina (43
 FR 53421, November 16, 1978). The Department has now completed that administrative
 review, in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930 ("the Tariff Act").

 Scope of the Review

 Imports covered by the review are shipments of Argentine men's and boys' woolen
 apparel. Such merchandise is currently classifiable under the items of the Tariffs
 Schedules of the United States Annotated ("TSUSA") listed in the Appendix to this notice.
 The review covers the period January 1, 1983, through December 31, 1983, and two
 programs: (1) The reembolso, a cash rebate of indirect taxes; and (2) a preferential
 pre-export financing program. We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on
 the preliminary results. We received no comments. Based on our analysis, the final results
 of the review are the same as the preliminary results.

 Final Results of Review

 We determine the total bounty or grant conferred during the period of review to be zero
 percent. The Department will instruct the Customs Service to liquidate entries of this
 merchandise exported on or after January 1, 1983, and on or before December 31, 1983,
 without regard to countervailing duties.
 Further, the Department will instruct the Customs Service not to collect a cash deposit of
 estimated countervailing duties, as provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act,
 on any shipments of this merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
 consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice. This deposit requirement
 shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative
 review.
 The Department encourages interested parties to review the public record and submit
 applications for protective orders, if desired, as early as possible after the Department's
 receipt of the requested information.
 This administrative review and notice are in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the
 Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and § 355.41 of the Commerce Regulations (19 CFR
 355.41).
 Dated: December 13, 1984.

 Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import Administration.
