Aspheric Ophthalmoscopy Lenses From Japan, Revocation of the
Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is notifying the
public of its revocation of the antidumping duty order on aspheric
ophthalmoscopy lenses from Japan because it is no longer of any
interest to domestic interested parties.
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 26, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jack Dulberger or Michael Panfeld,
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S.
Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution Avenue, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. 20230, telephone (202) 482-5505.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department may revoke an antidumping duty order if the
Secretary concludes that the duty order is no longer of any interest to
domestic interested parties. We conclude that there is no interest in
an antidumping duty order when no interested party has requested an
administrative review for five consecutive review periods and when no
domestic interested party objects to revocation (19 CFR
Sec. 353.25(d)(4)(iii)).
On April 7, 1997, the Department published in the Federal Register
(62 FR 16540) its notice of intent to revoke the antidumping duty order
on aspheric ophthalmoscopy lenses from Japan (April 15, 1992).
Additionally, as required by 19 CFR Sec. 353.25(d)(4)(ii), the
Department served written notice of its intent to revoke this
antidumping duty order on each domestic interested party on the service
list. Domestic interested parties who might object to the revocation
were provided the opportunity to submit their comments not later than
the last day of the anniversary month.
[[Page 45224]]
In this case, we received no requests for review for five
consecutive review periods. Furthermore, no domestic interested party,
as defined under Sec. 353.2(k)(3), (k)(4), (k)(5), or (k)(6) of the
Department's regulations, has expressed opposition to revocation. Based
on these facts, we have concluded that the antidumping duty order on
aspheric ophthalmoscopy lenses from Japan is no longer of any interest
to interested parties. Accordingly, we are revoking this antidumping
duty order in accordance with 19 CFR Sec. 353.25(d)(4)(iii).
Scope of the Order
Imports covered by the revocation are shipments of aspheric
ophthalmoscopy lenses from Japan. This merchandise is currently
classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedules (HTS) item number
9018.50.00. The HTS number is provided for convenience and customs
purposes. The written description remains dispositive.
This revocation applies to all unliquidated entries of aspheric
ophthalmoscopy lenses from Japan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after April 1, 1997. Entries made during the
period April 1, 1996, through March 31, 1997, will be subject to
automatic assessment in accordance with 19 CFR Sec. 353.22(e). The
Department will instruct the Customs Service to proceed with
liquidation of all unliquidated entries of this merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after April 1, 1997,
without regard to antidumping duties, and to refund any estimated
antidumping duties collected with respect to those entries. This notice
is in accordance with 19 CFR Sec. 353.25(d).
Dated: August 18, 1997.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for AD/CVD Enforcement.
