Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Final Results of Sunset Reviews and Revocation of
Antidumping Duty Findings for: Racing Plates from Canada (A-122-050),

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On August 3, 1998, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping findings on
racing plates from Canada and acrylic sheet from Japan. Because no
domestic interested party responded to the sunset review notice of
initiation by the applicable deadline, the Department is revoking these
findings.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Martha V. Douthit, Scott E. Smith, or
Melissa G. Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania Avenue and
14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3207, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Treasury Department issued antidumping findings on racing
plates from Canada (37 FR 11772, June 14, 1972), and acrylic sheet from
Japan (37 FR 11772, June 14, 1972). Pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department initiated
sunset reviews of these findings by publishing notice of the initiation
in the Federal Register (63 FR 41227). In addition, as a courtesy to
interested parties, the Department sent letters, via certified and
registered mail, to each party listed on the Department's most current
service list for these proceedings to inform them of the automatic
initiation of a sunset review on these findings.
No domestic interested parties in any of these sunset reviews of
these findings responded to the notice of initiation by the August 18,
1998, deadline (see section 351.218 (d)(1)(i) of Procedures for
Conducting Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Orders, 63 FR 13520 (March 20, 1998) (``Sunset
Regulations'')).
Determination to Revoke
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and section
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3) of the Sunset Regulations, if no interested
party responds to the notice of initiation, the Department of Commerce
shall issue a final determination, within 90 days after the initiation
of the review, revoking the finding or terminating the suspended
investigation. Because no domestic interested party responded to the
notice of initiation by the applicable deadline of August 18, 1998 (see
section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Sunset Regulations), we are revoking
these antidumping findings.
Effective Date of Revocation
Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act, the Department
will instruct the United States Customs Service to terminate the
suspension of liquidation of the merchandise subject to these findings
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after January 1, 2000.
Entries of subject merchandise prior to the effective date of
revocation will continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and
duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete any pending
administrative reviews of these findings and will conduct
administrative reviews on all entries prior to the effective date of
revocation in response to appropriately filed requests for review.
Dated: October 15, 1998.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
