SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 7, 1997, the North American Rayon Corporation
(petitioner) requested that the Department conduct a changed
circumstances administrative review to determine whether to revoke the
order on high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from Germany (57 FR 29062,
June 30, 1992). Petitioner states that it has no further interest in
the order.
Based on available information and petitioner's affirmative
statement of no interest, we preliminarily determined, pursuant to 19
CFR 353.25(d)(2), to conduct a changed circumstances review.
Consequently, on March 26, 1997, we published a notice of initiation
and preliminary results of changed circumstances antidumping duty
administrative review (62 FR 14398), in which we preliminarily
determined to revoke this order. We gave interested parties an
opportunity to comment on the preliminary results of this changed
circumstances review. We received no comments.
Scope of the Review
The product covered by this administrative review is high-tenacity
rayon filament yarn from Germany. During the review period, such
merchandise was classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)
item number 5403.10.30.40. High-tenacity rayon filament yarn is a
multifilament single yarn of viscose rayon with a twist of five turns
or more per meter, having a denier of 1100 or greater, and a tenacity
greater than 35 centinewtons per tex. The HTS item numbers are provided
for convenience and Customs purposes. The written description remains
dispositive as to the scope of the product coverage. This changed
circumstances administrative review covers all manufacturers/exporters
of high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from Germany.
Final Results of Review: Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order
The lack of further interest by domestic interested parties
constitutes changed circumstances sufficient to warrant revocation of
this order. See 19 CFR 353.25(d)(1)(i). Therefore, we are revoking the
order on high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from Germany, in accordance
with sections 751 (b) and (d) and 782(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 353.25(d)(1)(i). This revocation applies
to all entries of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after June 1, 1995, consistent with
petitioner's request.
The Department will instruct the U.S. Customs Service (Customs) to
proceed with liquidation, without regard to antidumping duties, of all
unliquidated entries of high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from Germany
entered, or withdrawn from ware-house, for consumption on or after June
1, 1995, in accordance with 19 CFR 353.25(d)(5). The Department will
further instruct Customs to refund with interest any estimated duties
collected with respect to unliquidated entries of high-tenacity rayon
filament yarn entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on
or after June 1, 1995, in accordance with section 778 of the Act.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written notification of
the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This changed circumstances administrative review, revocation of the
antidumping duty order, and notice are in accordance with sections 751
(b) and (d) and 782(h) of the Act and sections 353.22(f) and 353.25(d)
of the Department's regulations.
Dated: May 22, 1997.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
