    SUMMARY: On August 3, 1998, the Department of Commerce (``the 
    Department'') initiated a sunset review (63 FR 41227) of the 
    antidumping finding on elemental sulphur from Canada pursuant to 
    section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). On 
    the basis of a notice of intent to participate and substantive comments 
    filed on behalf of the domestic industry, and inadequate response (in 
    this case no response) from respondent interested parties, the 
    Department determined to conduct an expedited review. As a result of 
    this review, the Department finds that revocation of antidumping 
    finding would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
    dumping at the levels located in the Appendix to this notice.

    Statute and Regulations
    
        This review was conducted pursuant to section 751(c) and 752 of the 
    Act. The Department's procedures for the conduct of the sunset reviews 
    are set forth in Procedures for Conducting Five-year (``Sunset'') 
    Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Order, 63 FR 13516 
    (March 20, 1998) (``Sunset Regulations''). Guidance on methodological 
    or analytical issues relevant to the Department's conduct of sunset 
    reviews is set forth in the Department's Policy Bulletin 98:3--Policies 
    Regarding the Conduct of Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews of Antidumping 
    and Countervailing Duty Orders; Policy Bulletin, 63 FR 18871 (April 16, 
    1998) (``Sunset Policy Bulletin'').

    Background:
    
        On August 3, 1998, the Department initiated a sunset review of the 
    antidumping duty finding on elemental sulphur from Canada (63 FR 41227) 
    pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930. On August 18, 
    1998, the Department received a Notice of Intent to Participate from 
    Freeport-McMoRan Sulphur Inc. (``Freeport''). Freeport claimed 
    interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a U.S. 
    manufacturer of elemental sulphur. Freeport stated that it acquired the 
    sulphur production operations of Pennzoil Company (``Pennzoil'') and 
    Duval, a subsidiary of Pennzoil. Duval was the original petitioner in 
    this proceeding in 1972 and has actively participated in several 
    administrative reviews. We received a complete substantive response 
    from Freeport on September 2, 1998, within the 30-day deadline 
    specified in the Sunset Regulations under section 351.218(d)(3)(i). 
    Noting that it has requested revocation of the finding, on
    
    [[Page 67648]]
    
    September 1, 1998, Husky Oil Ltd., waived its right to participate in 
    the Department's sunset review. We did not receive a substantive 
    response from any respondent interested parties to this proceeding. As 
    a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act, and our 
    regulations (19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2)), the Department determined 
    to conduct an expedited review.
    
    Determination
    
        In accordance with section 751(c)(1) of the Act, the Department 
    conducted this review to determine whether revocation of the 
    antidumping would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
    dumping. Section 752 of the Act provides that, in making this 
    determination, the Department shall consider the weighted-average 
    dumping margins determined in the investigation and subsequent reviews 
    and the volume of imports of the subject merchandise for the period 
    before and the period after the issuance of the antidumping finding, 
    and shall provide to the International Trade Commission (``the 
    Commission'') the magnitude of the margin of dumping likely to prevail 
    if the finding is revoked.
        The Department's determinations concerning continuation or 
    recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the margin are discussed 
    below. In addition, parties' comments with respect to continuation or 
    recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the margin are addressed 
    within the respective sections below.
    
    Continuation or Recurrence of Dumping
    
        Drawing on the guidance provided in the legislative history 
    accompanying the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``URAA''), specifically 
    the Statement of Administrative Action (``the SAA''), H.R. Doc. No. 
    103-316, vol. 1 (1994), the House Report, H.R. Rep. No. 103-826, pt.1 
    (1994), and the Senate Report, S. Rep. No. 103-412 (1994), the 
    Department issued its Sunset Policy Bulletin providing guidance on 
    methodological and analytical issues, including the bases for 
    likelihood determinations. In its Sunset Policy Bulletin, the 
    Department indicated that determinations of likelihood will be made on 
    an order-wide basis (see section II.A.3). In addition, the Department 
    indicated that normally it will determine that revocation of an 
    antidumping order is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
    dumping where (a) dumping continued at any level above de minimis after 
    the issuance of the order, (b) imports of the subject merchandise 
    ceased after the issuance of the order, or (c) dumping was eliminated 
    after the issuance of the order and import volumes for the subject 
    merchandise declined significantly (see section II.A.3).
        The antidumping finding on elemental sulphur from Canada was 
    published in the Federal Register as Treasury Decision 74-1 (38 FR 
    34655, Dec. 17, 1973). Since that time, the Department has conducted 
    numerous administrative reviews.\9\ The finding remains in effect for 
    all imports of elemental sulphur from Canada other than those for which 
    the finding has been revoked, as discussed previously.

        In its substantive response, Freeport applied the criteria 
    contained in the Department's Sunset Policy Bulletin and concluded that 
    revocation of the finding would result in continued and increased 
    dumping. Freeport provided in its comments a table which identified 
    dumping margins, by company, over the life of the finding. Freeport 
    claimed that this evidence demonstrated that, in practically every 
    case, dumping not only continued, but that the margin of dumping 
    remained steady or increased. In addition, Freeport provided a table 
    presenting Census data on the total quantity of sulphur imported into 
    the United States from Canada and stated that imports have decreased 
    every year since 1992, when the domestic industry began requesting 
    administrative reviews.
        We find that the existence of dumping margins after the issuance of 
    the finding is highly probative of the likelihood of continuation or 
    recurrence of dumping. Deposit rates above de minimis levels continue 
    in effect for exports by several Canadian manufacturers and exporters 
    of elemental sulphur (for example Allied Signal Inc., Brimstone Export, 
    Mobil Oil Canada, Ltd., Norcen Energy Resources, Petrosul 
    International). As discussed in Section II.A.3 of the Sunset Policy 
    Bulletin, the SAA at 890, and the House Report at 63-64, if companies 
    continue dumping with the discipline of an order in place, the 
    Department may reasonably infer that dumping would continue if the 
    discipline were removed. Therefore, given that dumping has continued 
    over the life of the finding, and absent argument and evidence to the 
    contrary, the Department determines that dumping is likely to continue 
    if the finding were revoked.
    
    Magnitude of the Margin
    
        In the Sunset Policy Bulletin, the Department stated that, in a 
    sunset review of an antidumping finding for which no company-specific 
    margin or ``all others'' rate is included in the Treasury finding 
    published in the Federal Register, the Department normally will provide 
    to the Commission the company-specific margin from the first final 
    results of administrative review published in the Federal Register by 
    the Department. Additionally, if the first final results do not contain 
    a margin for a particular company, the Department normally will provide 
    the Commission, as the margin for that company, the first ``new 
    shipper'' rate established by the Department for that finding. (See 
    section II.B.1 of the Sunset Policy Bulletin). Exceptions to this 
    policy include the use of a more recently calculated margin, where 
    appropriate, and consideration of duty absorption
    
    [[Page 67649]]
    
    determinations. (See section II.B.2 and 3 of the Sunset Policy 
    Bulletin.)
        Because Treasury did not publish weighted-average dumping margins 
    in its finding, and such margins are not otherwise publicly available, 
    the margins determined in the original investigation are not available 
    to the Department for use in this sunset review. Under these 
    circumstances, the Department normally will select the margin from the 
    first administrative review conducted by the Department as the 
    magnitude of the margin of dumping likely to prevail if the finding is 
    revoked. We note that, to date, the Department has not issued any duty 
    absorption findings in this case.
        In its substantive comments, Freeport suggests that the Department 
    use the margins from both the first (which covered 33 companies) and 
    second (which covered 17 companies) final results of administrative 
    review because both determinations established company-specific margins 
    for the period in the 1970s immediately following the issuance of 
    Treasury's 1973 antidumping finding. For companies covered in either of 
    these first two reviews for which margins have increased over the life 
    of the finding, Freeport recommends that the Department select the 
    highest rate applied to those companies. Finally, for companies covered 
    by neither of these two reviews, but covered in subsequent reviews, 
    Freeport recommends either the first ``all others'' rate calculated by 
    the Department, the highest company-specific rate calculated by the 
    Department, or, in the case to two manufacturer/exporter combinations, 
    the only rate ever calculated for the combination. Other than its 
    discussion related to the appropriate margin for Husky, Freeport merely 
    suggests that the Department's policy provides for the selection of the 
    highest rate for companies where the Department has calculated a margin 
    higher than the original.
        With respect to Husky Oil, Ltd. (``Husky'') (a company that was 
    first reviewed by the Department during the 1991-1992 administrative 
    review), Freeport argues that, if the finding were revoked, the 
    magnitude of the margin likely to prevail would be the highest rate 
    calculated for Husky. Freeport notes that the margins determined by the 
    Department for Husky in the 91-92, 92-93, 93-94, and 94-95 
    administrative reviews have been 7.17%, 40.38%, 3.38% and 0.33%, 
    respectively. Freeport argues that the enormous increase in Husky's 
    margin between the 91-92 and 92-93 administrative reviews reflects 
    Husky's choice to increase dumping in a effort to maintain market 
    share, particularly during a period when U.S. market prices declined 
    significantly. Freeport further argues that Husky's margins from the 
    93-94 and 94-95 administrative reviews are aberrationally low and 
    reflect dramatic reduction in Husky's U.S. sales volumes and reversible 
    changes in its operations designed to minimize the margins calculated 
    by the Department.
        Using the non-confidential ranged figures reported by Husky during 
    the course of the administrative reviews, Freeport states that Husky's 
    U.S. sales volumes decreased from the 91-92 administrative review high 
    to a 92-93 all time low, and then increased during the 94-95 
    administrative review. Freeport adds that in the course of the ongoing 
    administrative review of the 96-97 administrative review, Husky again 
    decreased the volume of its exports of sulphur to the U.S. market.
        Freeport notes that the overwhelming majority of Husky's (and 
    Canada's) sulphur is produced at major sour gas processing plants. 
    Freeport then states that, under the discipline of the finding, Husky 
    made changes in its operations by limiting its U.S. exports to sulphur 
    produced at an unrepresentative facility (the Lloydminster heavy oil 
    upgrader, as opposed to sour gas processing plants) and shifted to 
    production of formed sulphur at its sour gas facilities. Freeport adds 
    that these changes had a major impact on Husky's reported cost of 
    production and constructed value and the resultant dumping margins 
    calculated by the Department.
        Freeport concludes that in the absence of the constraints imposed 
    by the antidumping finding, Husky would again export much larger 
    volumes of sulphur to the United States, would resume exporting to the 
    U.S. from its major sour gas production facilities and would otherwise 
    revert to its normal commercial operations.
        On April 5, 1982, the Department issued the final results of review 
    of this finding covering 47 of the 52 known exporters and, generally, 
    the period July 1, 1978 through November 30, 1980 (47 FR 14507). On 
    November 28, 1983, the Department issued the final results of review of 
    this finding covering 43 of the 49 manufacturers and/or exporters and, 
    generally, the period December 1, 1980 through November 30, 1981 (48 FR 
    53592). We note, however, that for some companies, the November 1983 
    notice covered an earlier review period than did the April 1982 notice. 
    For example, the November 1983 notice covered entries dating back to 
    1973 for certain companies. Therefore, we agree with Freeport and have 
    selected, as the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail, the margin 
    for the first period reviewed for each company, regardless of which 
    Federal Register notice contained the review results.
        With respect to selecting the highest rate calculated by the 
    Department for companies whose dumping margins have increased over 
    time, we do not agree with Freeport. In the Sunset Policy Bulletin the 
    Department stated that ``a company may choose to increase dumping in 
    order to maintain or increase market share'' and that ``the Department 
    may, in response to argument from an interested party, provide to the 
    Commission a more recently calculated margin for a particular company, 
    where, for that particular company, dumping margins increased after the 
    issuance of the order.'' (See section II.B.2 of the Sunset Policy 
    Bulletin.) The Department's intent was to establish a policy of using 
    the original investigation margin as the starting point, thus providing 
    interested parties the opportunity and incentive to come forward with 
    data which would support a different estimate. Freeport, however, 
    merely asserts that the highest rate calculated should be selected 
    based on ``the `increasing margins' criterion'' established in the 
    Sunset Policy Bulletin. (See Freeport's September 2, 1998, Substantive 
    Response, p. 9.) Freeport did not, however, present arguments with 
    respect to changes in margin levels as related to market share. The 
    statistics provided by Freeport, 1991-1997 annual volume and value of 
    imports from Canada, do not show an increase in imports concurrent with 
    an increase in dumping, nor does it present the Department with a 
    picture of the relative market shares held by Canada manufacturers and 
    exporters. Given the information available to the Department, it is not 
    possible to discern whether any increases or decreases in margins 
    reflect an effort to maintain or increase market share. Similarly, 
    Freeport did not offer any reason for its request that the Department 
    select the highest margin or ``all others'' rate, whichever is higher, 
    for those companies that were not reviewed in either of the first or 
    second administrative reviews conducted by the Department.
        Finally, with respect to the magnitude of the margin likely to 
    prevail with respect to Husky, we are not persuaded by Freeport's 
    arguments. While we agree that the volume of Husky's exports declined 
    significantly after the 91-92 review, and never reached the 91-92 
    level, the level of Husky's exports increased between 92-93 and 93-94. 
    Further, we have no reason to believe that Husky will, if the finding 
    is
    
    [[Page 67650]]
    
    revoked, revert to producing sulphur for export to the United States at 
    its other facilities. Therefore, as discussed previously, we have 
    determined that the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail for Husky 
    is the first ``new shippers'' rate determined by the Department (see 
    Elemental Sulphur From Canada; Final Results of Administrative Review 
    of Antidumping Finding; 48 FR 53592 (November 28, 1982)).
        Our review of the margin history over the life of this finding 
    demonstrates that there have, with respect to some companies, been 
    fluctuations in the level of the margins. We do not, however, view them 
    as demonstrating a consistent patter of behavior. Therefore, the 
    Department finds no reason to deviate in this review from our stated 
    policy of using the first rates calculated by the Department. We 
    determine that the original margins calculated by the Department are 
    probative of the behavior of Canadian manufacturers and exporters of 
    elemental sulphur. (See Elemental Sulphur From Canada; Final Results of 
    Administrative Review of Antidumping Finding; 47 FR 14507 (April 5, 
    1982 and Elemental Sulphur From Canada; Final Results of Administrative 
    Review of Antidumping Finding; 48 FR 53592 (November 28, 1983)). We 
    will report to the Commission the company-specific and ``all others'' 
    rate included in the Appendix to this notice.
    
    Final Results of Review
    
        As a result of this review, the Department finds that revocation of 
    the antidumping finding would be likely to lead to continuation or 
    recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the Appendix to this 
    notice.
        This notice serves as the only reminder to parties to 
    administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
    concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
    APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 of the Department's regulations. 
    Timely notification of return or destruction of APO materials or 
    conversation to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure 
    to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a 
    sanctionable violation.
        This five-year (``sunset'') review and notice are in accordance 
    with section 751(c) and 777(i) of the Act.
    
        Dated: December 1, 1998.
