Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order: Sugar and Syrups From
Canada
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of revocation of antidumping duty order: Sugar and syrup
from Canada.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act from 1930, as
amended (``the Act''), the United States International Trade Commission
(``the Commission'') determined that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on sugar and syrups from Canada is not likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (64 FR 54355
(October 6, 1999)). Therefore, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(iii), the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') is publishing notice of the revocation of the antidumping
duty order on sugar and syrups from Canada. Pursuant to section
751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2), the effective
date of revocation is January 1, 2000.

Background
On October 1, 1998, the Department initiated, and the Commission
instituted, a sunset review (63 FR 52683 and 63 FR 52759, respectively)
of the antidumping duty order on sugar and syrups from Canada pursuant
to section 751(c) of the Act. As a result of the review, the Department
found that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead
to continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the Commission of
the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail were the order to be
revoked (see Final Results of Full Sunset Review: Sugar and Syrups from
Canada, 64 FR 48326 (September 3, 1999)).
On October 6, 1999, the Commission determined, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on
sugar and syrups would not be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States
within a reasonably foreseeable time (see Sugar From the European
Union; Sugar From Belgium, France, and Germany; and Sugar and Syrups
From Canada, 64 FR 54355 (October 6, 1999), and USITC Pub. 3238, Inv.
Nos. 104-TAA-7, AA1921-198-200, and 731-TA-3 (September 1999)).

Determination
As a result of the determination by the Commission that revocation
of this antidumping duty order is not likely to lead to continuation or

Department, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, will revoke the
antidumping duty order on sugar and syrups from Canada. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2), this
