SUMMARY: On October 1, 1999, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') initiated sunset reviews of antidumping duty orders on
hot-rolled lead and bismuth carbon steel products from Brazil, France,
Germany, and the United Kingdom (64 FR 53320). In addition, the
Department initiated sunset reviews of countervailing duty orders on
hot-rolled lead and bismuth carbon steel products from Brazil, France,
Germany, and the United Kingdom (64 FR 53320). The Department is
revoking the aforementioned antidumping and countervailing duty orders
on hot-rolled lead and bismuth carbon steel because no domestic party
responded to the sunset review notice of initiation by the applicable
deadline.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 22, 1993, the Department issued antidumping and
countervailing duty orders on hot-rolled lead and bismuth carbon steel
products from Brazil, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom (58 FR
15324). Pursuant to section 71(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(``the Act''), the Department initiated sunset reviews of these orders
by publishing notice of the initiation in the Federal Register (October
1, 1999 (64 FR 53320)). 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
[[Page 61822]]
inform them of the automatic initiation of the sunset reviews on these
orders.
However, no domestic interested party in the sunset reviews on
these orders responded to the notice of initiation by the October 19,
1999 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
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 domestic
interested party responds to the notice of initiation, the Department
shall issue a final determination, within 90 days after the initiation
of the review, revoking the order. Because no domestic interested party
in the sunset reviews of hot-rolled lead and bismuth carbon steel
products from Brazil, France, Germany, or the United Kingdom responded
to the notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, we are revoking
these antidumping and countervailing duty orders.
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 orders
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
antidumping and countervailing duty deposit requirements. The
Department will complete any pending administrative reviews of these
orders and will conduct administrative reviews of subject merchandise
entered prior to the effective date of revocation in response to
appropriately filed requests for review:
Dated: November 8, 1999.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
