 AGENCY: Import Administration. International Trade Administration.

 ACTION: Notice.

 SUMMARY: We preliminarily determine that certain benefits which constitute bounties
 or grants within the meaning of the countervailing duty law are being provided to
 manufacturers, producers, or exporters in the Philippines of certain textile mill
 products and apparel. The estimated net bounty or grant is 1.49 percent ad valorem for
 textile mill products and 1.33 percent ad valorem for apparel. We are directing the U.S.
 Customs Service to suspend liquidation of all entries of textile mill products and apparel
 from the Philippines, except those produced by Aris Philippines, G&S Manufacturing
 Corporation and Philippine Handicraft, Inc., that are entered, or withdrawn from
 warehouse, for consumption after the date of publication of this notice, and to require a
 cash deposit or bond on entries of these products in the amount equal to the estimated
 net bounty or grant.

 These investigations were initiated by the Department under the title "Certain Textiles and
 Textile Products from the 

*1608

 Philippines." Because of the number of products
 covered, and the differences in those products, the Department determined that it should
 conduct separate investigations--one on textiles and non-apparel textile products, and
 one on apparel. Because of the potential for confusion, as apparel can also be considered a
 textile product, we are changing the titles of these investigations to "Certain Textile Mill
 Products and Apparel from the Philippines." The scope of these investigations remains
 the same as announced in the initiation.

 If these investigations proceed normally, we will make our final determinations by March
 15, 1985.

 EFFECTIVE DATE: January 11, 1985.

 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

 Preliminary Determinations

 Based upon our investigations, we preliminary determine that there is reason to believe
 or suspect that certain benefits which constitute bounties or grants within the meaning of
 section 303 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), are being provided to
 manufacturers, producers, or exporters in the Philippines of certain textile mill
 products and apparel. For purposes of these investigations, the following programs are
 preliminarily found to confer a bounty or grant:
 - Preferential Export Credits.
 - Preferential Tax Benefits.
 Development Bank of the Philippines Interest Moratorium
 We estimate the net bounty or grant to be 1.49 percent ad valorem for textile mill
 products and 1.33 percent ad valorem for apparel.

 Case History

 On August 2, 1984, we received a petition from the American Textile Manufacturers
 Institute, the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, and the International
 Ladies' Garment Workers Union, on behalf of the U.S. industry producing certain textile
 mill products and apparel. In compliance with the filing requirements of section 355.26 of
 our regulations (19 CFR 355.26), the petition alleges that manufacturers, producers, or
 exporters in the Philippines of textile mill products and apparel receive, directly or
 indirectly, benefits which constitute bounties or grants within the meaning of section 303
 of the Act.
 We found that the petition contained sufficient grounds upon which to initiate
 countervailing duty investigations, and on August 30, 1984, we initiated such
 investigations (49 FR 34381). We stated that we expected to issue preliminary
 determinations by October 35, 1984. On September 21, 1984, we determined these
 investigations to be "extraordinarily complicated," as defined in section 703(c)(1)(B) of
 the Act. Therefore, we extended the period for making our preliminary determinations
 until not later than December 31, 1984 (49 FR 42772).
 Since the Philippines is not a "country under the Agreement" within the meaning of
 section 701(b) of the Act and the merchandise being investigated is dutiable, sections
 303(a)(1) and (b) of the Act apply to these investigations. Accordingly, the domestic
 industry is not required to allege that, and the U.S. International Trade Commission is not
 required to determine whether, imports of these products cause or threaten material
 injury to a U.S. industry.
 Due to the scope of these investigations, we employed a two-step questionnaire process.
 We presented a preliminary questionnaire to the government of the Philippines in
 Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1984. Based on the responses to the preliminary
 questionnaire, we requested responses from those producers who account for at least 60
 percent of the textile mill products and apparel exported to the United States. We
 selected eight textile producers and exporters, and ten apparel producers and exporters
 to respond to the detailed questionnaire. On October 29, 1984, we presented the detailed
 government and company questionnaires to the government of the Philippines in
 Washington, D.C. The responses to our detailed questionnaires were received on
 November 28 and December 3, 1984. Nine companies made timely requests for exclusion
 and were sent copies of the detailed questionnaires. The responses of Aris Philippines,
 G&S Manufacturing Corporation and Philippine Handicraft, Inc., indicate that they
 receive benefits which are de minimis, and therefore, they are excluded from these
 preliminary determinations. Other companies requesting exclusion have been included in
 the suspension of liquidation.
 Certain respondents in the Certain Textile Mill Products and Apparel investigations have
 raised the issue as to whether petitioners have standing to file these cases. We addressed
 this issue in our preliminary determinations of Certain Textile Mill Products and Apparel
 from Indonesia (49 FR 49672, December 21, 1984). See that notice for our comments on
 the issue of petitioners' standing.

 Scope of the Investigation

 The products covered by these investigations are certain textile mill products (textiles)
 and apparel, which are described in Appendix A, attached to this notice.

 Analysis of Programs

 Throughout this notice, we refer to certain general principles applied to the facts of the
 instant investigation. These principles are described in the "Subsidies Appendix" attached
 to the notice of "Cold-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat- Rolled Products from Argentina; Final
 Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination and Countervailing Duty Order,"
 which was published in the April 26, 1984, issue of the Federal Register (49 FR 18006).
 Consistent with our practice in preliminary determinations, where a response to an
 allegation denies the existence of a program, receipt of benefits under a program, or
 eligibility of a company or industry under a program, and the Department has no
 persuasive evidence showing that the response is incorrect, we accept the response for
 purposes of the preliminary determination. All such responses, of course, are subject to
 verification. If the response cannot be supported at verification, and the program is
 otherwise countervailable, the program will be considered a subsidy in the final
 determination.
 For purposes of these preliminary determinations, the period for which we are measuring
 bounties or grants ("the review period") is calendar year 1983.
 Based upon our analysis of the petition and the response to our questionnaires, we
 preliminarily determine the following:

 1. Programs Determined to Confer Bounties or Grants

 We preliminarily determine that bounties or grants are being provided to manufacturers,
 producers, or exporters in the Philippines of certain textile mill products and apparel
 under the following programs.

 A. Preferential Export Credit

 Petitioners allege that the exporters of the products under investigation receive
 preferential export credit at below market rates through the rediscounting 

*1609

 program run by the Central Bank of the Philippines.
 The export packing credit program (EPC) is a rediscounting program offered by the
 Central Bank of the Philippines, which provides credit on eligible paper with original
 maturity of one year or less. Upon receipt of a letter of credit, an exporter may request
 from a commercial bank a loan predicated on the letter of credit to finance working
 capital and other requirements. From January to November, the maximum interest rate
 chargeable to exporters under this program was 12 percent. In November 1983, the
 Central Bank adjusted the relending rates to a maximum of the Manila Reference Rate (as
 published by the Central Bank of the Philippines) less 2 percentage points. The Central
 Bank rediscounts up to 80 percent of the letter of credit at a rate of three percent. During
 the review period, the average annual commercial bank interest rate on short-term loans
 (one year and less) was 18.63 percent. Since this program is available solely to exporters
 and interest rates are less than those for comparable commercially available loans, we
 preliminarily determine that this program confers a bounty or grant upon the products
 under investigation.
 The benefit provided by this program was calculated by applying the interest differential
 to the amount of loans taken out during the review period for the days outstanding. We
 determined that the most appropriate comparable commercial interest rate was the
 average of the monthly weighted average interest rates charged by commercial banks on
 secured loans with a duration of one year or less (as published by the Central Bank of the
 Philippines). The responses provided information on EPCs used to finance exports to
 the United States and, for one producer, on total EPCs. To determine the amount of
 benefit to be applied to U.S. exports, we mutiplied the benefit from total EPCs by that
 producer's percentage of U.S. exports to total exports, where appropriate. Otherwise, we
 used the amount of the benefit received on EPCs used to finance exports to the U.S. We
 then allocated the amount of the total benefit received by all producers over total exports
 to the U.S. of the products under investigation. On this basis, we calculated a bounty or
 grant in the amount of 1.08 percent ad valorem for textiles and 0.80 percent ad valorem
 for apparel.

 B. Preferential Tax Benefits

 Petitioners allege that producers and exporters of the products under investigation
 receive a variety of preferential tax benefits under the Export Processing Zone Authority
 (EPZA) created by PD 66, as amended by PD 1449, ARticles 48 and 49 of the Omnibus
 Investment Code (OIC), and Sections 11 and 12 of the Investment Incentive Policy Act of
 1983 (IIPA).

 To be eligible for incentives granted by the EPZA a company must be located in one of the
 designated export zones. To locate in one of the zones a company is required to export a
 certain percentage of its production. Because availability of the incentives is limited to
 companies located in the zones, and location in the zones is contingent upon export
 performance, we preliminarily determine that Section 17(a) of the PD 66 confers a bounty
 or grant on the export of the products under investigation.

 The Board of Investments (BOI) is responsible for administering the OIC and IIPA. The
 BOI prepares an annual Investment Priority Plan listing the preferred areas of
 investment," which designates areas of economic activity. Firms operating in these areas
 are entitled to apply for incentives under the OIC and IIPA.

 Articles 48 and 49 of the OIC provide for incentives to "registered export producers" and
 "registered export traders." A "registered export producer" is defined in the OIC as a
 registered producer which manufactures and exports or sells export products that meet
 certain standards set by the Board of investments (BOI). A "registered export trader" is
 defined as a registered export trading company that trades the products of registered
 export producers. Because availability of the incentives is limited to companies
 registered under Articles 48 and 49 of the OIC, and registration is contingent upon export
 performance, we preliminarily determine that Article 48(b) and 48(f) of the OIC confers
 bounties or grants on the export of the products under investigation.

 The IIPA, enacted in January 1983, amends the OIC. Section 11 of the IIPA specifically
 amends Article 48, and Section 12 amends the OIC to insert new Articles 48-A and 48-B.
 Companies which were registered under the OIC prior to January 1983, may continue to
 receive the incentives offered under the OIC, or may choose to re-register under the
 IIPA. Companies which originally register under the IIPA are eligible only for the
 incentives offered by the IIPA. Article 48, as amended by Section 11, offers incentives for
 "registered new or expanding export producers." Articles 48-A and 48-B, as inserted by
 Section 12, provide for incentives to "registered existing export producers" and
 "registered indirect export producers," respectively. Some of the incentives available to
 companies under the OIC have been eliminated by the IIPA. Others have been modified
 or added. Because registration under Articles 48, 48-A, and 48-B continues to be
 contingent upon export performance, we preliminarily determine that Article 48(d) of
 the IIPA confers a bounty or grant on the export of the products under investigation.
 One of the companies chosen to receive our questionnaire is registered under the EPZA
 and located in the Bataan Export Processing Zone. The other companies that responded
 to our questionnaire are registered with the BOI as export producers or export traders
 under the OIC, or the IIPA.
 
1. Exemption from Duties on Imported Capital Equipment. Article 48(f) of the OIC, Article
 48(a) of the IIPA and Section 17(a) of PD 66 provide for the importation of capital
 equipment with a 100 percent exemption of the tariff duties and compensating tax
 payable. One textile producer and one apparel producer received an exemption from
 duties on the importation of capital equipment during the review period under Article
 48(a). One apparel producer received an exemption from duties on the importation of
 capital equipment during the review period because of his location in an Export
 Processing Zone.
 Article 45(d) of the OIC provides for an exemption of 50 percent of the duties on
 imported capital equipment and Article 45(a) of the IIPA provides an exemption of 50
 percent of the duties on imported capital equipment to nonpioneer domestic producers.
 Article 45(d) of the OIC has been determined not to confer a bounty or grant on the basis
 that both in law and in practice, it is not limited to a specific enterprise or industry or
 group of enterprises or industries. (See "Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
 Determination: Canned Tuna from the Philippines," 48 Fed. Reg. 50133). Therefore, the
 difference between the amount of exemption allowed under Article 48(f), 48(a) or Section
 17(a) and the amount that would have been allowed (50 percent) had the claims been
 filed under Article 45(d) of the OIC, is preliminarily determined to confer a bounty or
 grant on the export of the products under investigation. We calculated the benefit by
 taking 50 percent of the amount of the exemption taken under the different laws and
 allocating that amount over total exports of the products under investigation. On this
 basis, we calculated a net bounty or grant, under Article 48(a), in the amount of 0.16

 *1610

 percent ad valorem for textiles and 0.12 percent ad valorem for apparel. We
 calculated a net bounty or grant under Section 17(a), in the amount of 0.01 percent ad
 valorem for apparel.

 2. Tax Deduction for Direct Labor Costs and Local Raw
 Materials. Article 48(b) of the OIC provides a tax deduction for direct labor costs and
 local raw materials. A registered export producer may, for the first five years from the
 date of its registration or initial commercial operation, deduct from its total taxable
 income from domestic and export sales by its registered operation an amount equivalent
 to the direct labor costs of its domestic and export products and the local raw material
 costs incurred in the production of its export products. The total deduction may not
 exceed 25 percent of the company's total export revenue. Five textile producers and
 three apparel producers used this incentive during the review period. The benefit
 provided by this Article is the amount of tax savings which were claimed on the tax
 return filed during the review period. We calculated the benefit by applying the corporate
 tax rate to the amount of deduction claimed and then allocating the resulting tax savings
 over total exports of the products under investigation. On this basis, we calculated a
 bounty or grant in the amount of 0.08 percent ad valorem for textiles and 0.08 percent
 ad valorem for apparel.

 3. Article 48(d) of the--11PA Tax Credit on Net Local Content. Article 48(d) provides for a
 tax credit on net local content of exports for registered new or existing export producers.
 One of the companies under investigation responded that it received a tax credit on net
 local content due to its registration under PB 391 (11PA). Because receipt of this tax
 credit is contingent upon export performance, we preliminarily determine that this
 program confers a bounty or grant on the export of the products under investigation. We
 calculated the benefit from this program by allocating the amount of the tax credit
 received in the year of review over total exports of the products under investigation. On
 this basis we calculated a bounty or grant in the amount of 0.12 percent ad valorem for
 textiles and 0.09 percent ad valorem for apparel.

 C. Development Bank of the Philippines Interest Moratorium. Petitioners allege that the
 Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) has provided equity infusions into
 Continental Manufacturing Corporation and Redson Garments on terms inconsistent with
 commercial considerations. According to the resonse of the government of the
 Philippines, the DBP has not provided equity infusions into either of those companies.
 However, the annual report of one of the companies producing textiles indicates that the
 DBP has converted outstanding loans and interest payable by that company to the DBP
 into that company's common and preferred stock. The report states that the company has
 not yet recognized the conversion, due to the necessity of amending its Articles of
 Incorporation. The company's annual reports indicate that the company is not making
 interest or principal payments on the loans that would be converted. The annual report of
 one of the companies producing apparel indicates that, although there is a plan under
 which the DBP will convert its outstanding debt to equity in the company, it has not yet
 implemented this plan. This company's annual report indicates that the company is not
 making interest or principal payments on these loans. Therefore, for our preliminary
 determinations, we consider these to be interest free loans in the amount of the debt plus
 interest to be converted to equity. We calculated the benefit provided by these loans as
 the amount of interest that the company would pay on a short- term loan granted at the
 commercial interest rate.
 The net benefit is allocated over total sales. On this basis, we calculated a bounty or grant
 in the amount of 0.05 percent ad valorem for textiles and 0.24 percent ad valorem for
 apparel.

 11. Programs Determined Not To Confer Bounties or Grants

 We preliminarily determine that bounties or grants are not being provided to
 manufacturers, producers, or exporters in the Philippines of certain textile mill
 products and apparel under the following programs.

 A. Incentives Available Under the Export Processing Zone Authority

 1. Preferential Leasing Rates. Petitioners allege that exporters of the products under
 investigation located in the Bataan Export Processing Zone (BEPZ) receive land lease
 rates and occupancy terms that are much more favorable than comparable rates and
 terms in the suburbs of Manila. The responses of the government of the Philippines and
 the company located in the BEPZ state that the rates and terms are not favorable. The
 annual report of the EPZA indicates that it is not operating at a loss. Due to the differences
 in the location and the services available in the different areas of the country, it would be
 inappropriate to compare the land lease rates and occupancy terms of the BEPZ and the
 suburbs of Manila. Therefore, since the information on the record indicates that the Zone
 is not operating at a loss and we have no other information to suggest that the Zone is run
 on manifestly uncommercial terms, we preliminarily determine that this program does
 not confer a bounty or grant.
 
2. Tax Deductions. Petitioners allege that exporters of the products under investigation
 are eligible for tax deductions for organizational and pre- operating expenses: sales and
 compensating taxes and duties on supplies, raw materials, and semimanufactures used in
 export production: expansion costs: and labor training costs. The amount of deduction
 allowable under the EPZA is the same as the amount that is provided to producers
 registered under Article 45 of the OIC. Since Article 45 has been determined not to confer
 a bounty or grant on the basis that registration and benefits provided under Article 45 are
 not limited to a specific enterprise or industry or group of enterprises or industries (See
 "Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination: Canned Tuna from the
 Philippines," 48 Fed. Reg. 50133), we preliminarily determine that this program does
 not confer a bounty or grant.

 B. Additional Incentives Under the Omnibus Investment Code and the Investment
 Incentive Policy Act of 1983

 1. Loss Carryforward. Petitioners allege that exporters of the products under
 investigation are allowed to reduce their taxable income by a carryforward of new
 operating losses. One of the producers of the products under investigation reduced their
 taxable income by a carryforward of net operating losses. The OIC allows for the
 carryforward of net operating losses incurred in any of the first 10 years of operation as a
 registered export enterprise. The same provision is available to domestic producers
 under Article 45(b) of the OIC. Since Article 45 has been determined not to confer a
 bounty or grant on the basis that registration and benefits provided under Article 45 are
 not limited to a specific enterprise or industry or group of enterprises or industries (See
 "Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination: Canned Tuna from the
 Philippines," 48 Fed Reg. 50133), we preliminarily determine that this program does
 not confer a bounty or grant.

 2. Article 48(c). Petitioners allege that exporters of the products under 

*1611


 investigation benefit from Article 48(c) of the 11PA that provides for a tax credit on the
 net value earned by registered new or expanding export producers. The same provision is
 available to domestic producers under Article 45(c) of the 11PA. Since Article 45 has
 been determined not to confer a bounty or grant on the basis that registration and
 benefits provided under Article 45 are not limited to a specific enterprise or industry or
 group of enterprises or industries (See "Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
 Determination: Canned Tuna from the Philippines." 48 FR 50133), we preliminarily
 determine that this program does not confer a bounty or grant.

 III. Programs Determined Not To Be Used

 We preliminarily determine that manufacturers, producers or exporters in the
 Philippines of certain textile mill products and apparel did not use the following
 programs which were listed in our notice of initiation.

 A. Certain Provisions Provided Under the Export Processing Zone Authority

 Petitioners allege that the exporters of the products under investigation which are
 located in Export Processing Zones, specifically the Bataan Export Processing Zone,
 receive the following incentives provided for under the EPZA:
 Section 18(a), which provides for a net-operating loss carry-over for zone- registered
 enterprises;
 Section 18(b), which provides for the use of accelerated depreciation;
 Section 18(c), which provides for the exemption from export taxes on the products
 exported from an export zone;
 Section 18(d), which provides for foreign exchange assistance in the form of priority in
 the allocation of foreign exchange;
 Section 18(e), which provides for financial assistance to zone-registered enterprises by
 conferring on them the same privileges accorded to enterprises approved by and
 registered with the BOI under any other law;
 Section 18(g), which allows the deduction of labor training expenses;
 Section 18(h), which allows the deduction of organizational and operating expenses for 10
 years; and
 Section 18(i), which provides for a tax credit on supplies, raw materials and
 semi-manufactured products used in the manufacture, processing or production of
 export products and forming a part thereof.
 The responses state that none of the producers which are zone-registered enterprises
 used any of these incentives. Therefore, we preliminarily determine that these incentives
 were not used.

 B. Certain Incentives to Exporters Under the Export Incentives Act and Sections 11 and
 12 of the Investment Incentive Policy Act of 1983

 Petitioners allege that firms exporting the products under investigation to the U.S. are
 receiving countervailable benefits under these laws. Article 48(b) of the OIC provides for
 the total exemption from export taxes, duties, imposts, and fees on exported products.
 The responses state that exports of textiles and apparel are not otherwise subject to these
 taxes. Therefore, we preliminarily determine that these Articles were not used.

 IV. Programs for Which Additional Information is Needed

 We preliminarily determine that additional information is needed for the following
 programs which were listed in our notice of initiation.

 A. Foreign Currency Retention Scheme

 Petitioners allege that the producers and exporters of the products under investigation
 benefit from a so-called export deduction program, under which export-oriented
 industries are allowed to use a part of their export proceeds for the repayment of loans
 obtained for imports of machinery, raw materials, and other requirements. They state
 that normally foreign currency must be surrendered to an authorized agent of the Central
 Bank, and that no foreign currency or foreign exchange may leave the Philippines
 without approval of the Central Bank. The responses of the individual companies state
 that some of the producers of the products under investigation were able to obtain
 foreign currency. We will investigate further to determine whether there was any
 preference in their ability to obtain such currency.

 B. Preferential Access to Foreign Exchange

 Petitioners allege that exporters of the products under investigation are given priority
 access to foreign exchange for financing imports. In addition, petitioners allege that
 exporters of the products under investigation have preferential access to foreign
 exchange under a program run by the Philippine International Trading Corporation. The
 responses of the individual companies state that some of the producers of the products
 under investigation were able to obtain foreign currency. We will investigate further to
 determine whether there as any preference in their ability to obtain such currency.

 C. Tax Incentives for Preferred Investments

 Petitioners allege that the Omnibus Investment Code as amended by the Investment
 Incentive Policy act provides that the Board of Investments may grant tax incentives to
 preferred producer enterprises. We believe that we have covered all of the tax incentives
 of this program in the other sections of this notice.

 D. Section 17(f) of PD 66 Creating the Export Processing Zone Authority

 Petitioners allege that the Section 17(f) of PD 66 confers a bounty or grant because it
 allows for the exemption from local taxes and licenses. As we understand the operation of
 these zones they operate as federal government districts in that if taxes were to be paid,
 they would be federal not local taxes. We will seek more information on the operation of
 these zones for our final determination.

 Suspension of Liquidation

 In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act we are directing the U.S. Customs Service to
 suspend liquidation of all entries of certain textile mill products and apparel from the
 Phillipines which are entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
 the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register and to require an ad valorem
 cash deposit or bond for each such entry of this merchandise as follows:
   
 ---------------------------------------------- 
     Product        Ad valorem rate (percent)   
 ---------------------------------------------- 
 Textiles ................................ 1.49 
 Apparel ................................. 1.33 
 ---------------------------------------------- 
   
 The following will remain in effect until further notice.

 Verification

 In accordance with section 776(a) of the Act we will verify the data used in making our
 final determination. As previously stated, we will not accept any statement in the
 response that cannot be verified in our final determination.

 Public Comment

 In accordance with section 355.35 of our regulations we will hold a public hearing, if
 requested, to afford interested parties an opportunity to comment on these preliminary
 determinations at 10:00 a.m. on February 18, 1985, at the U.S. Department of Commerce,
 Room 3708, 14th Street and Constitution 

*1612

 Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230.
