Background
The Department issued antidumping duty orders on small business
telephone systems from Japan (54 FR 50789) and small business telephone
systems from Taiwan (54 FR 50790) on December 11, 1989. The Department
also issued antidumping duty orders on small business telephone systems
from South Korea (55 FR 4215) on February 7, 1990, multi-angle laser
light scattering instruments (55 FR 48144) from Japan on November 19,
1990, and benzyl paraben from Japan (56 FR 5795) on February 13, 1991.
Pursuant to section 751(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 (64 FR
29261 (June 1, 1999)). 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 inform them of the automatic initiation
of sunset reviews on these orders.
No domestic interested parties in the sunset reviews on these
orders responded to the notice of initiation by the June 16, 1999,
deadline (see section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Procedures for Conducting
Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Orders, 63 FR 13520 (March 20, 1998) (``Sunset Regulations'')).
Determination To Revoke
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and
Sec. 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 finding or order. Because no domestic
interested party responded to the notice of initiation by the
applicable deadline, June 16, 1999, we are revoking these antidumping
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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after January 1, 2000.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 duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete any
pending administrative reviews on 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: August 26, 1999.
Bernard T. Carreau,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
