Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware From Taiwan: Final Results of 
Sunset Review and Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On October 1, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) initiated the third sunset review of the antidumping duty 
order on porcelain-on-steel cooking ware (POS cooking ware) from Taiwan 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), and 19 CFR 351.218(c). See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') 
Review, 75 FR 60731 (October 1, 2010) (Initiation Notice). Because no 
domestic interested party responded to the sunset review notice of 
initiation by the applicable deadline, the Department is revoking the 
antidumping duty order on POS cooking ware from Taiwan.

DATES: Effective Date: November 22, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to this antidumping duty order is 
porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from Taiwan that does not have self-
contained electric heating elements. All of the foregoing are 
constructed of steel and are enameled or glazed with vitreous glasses. 
Kitchenware and teakettles are not subject to the order. The 
merchandise is currently classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) number 7323.94.00. HTSUS item 
numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written 
description of the scope remains dispositive.

Background

    On December 2, 1986, the Department published, in the Federal 
Register, the antidumping duty order on POS cooking ware from Taiwan. 
See Antidumping Duty Order; Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware from 
Taiwan, 51 FR 43416 (December 2, 1986). In two subsequent sunset 
reviews, based on affirmative decisions by the Department and the 
International Trade Commission, the antidumping duty order on POS 
cooking ware from Taiwan was continued. See Continuation of Antidumping 
Duty Orders: Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware From China, Mexico, and 
Taiwan, 65 FR 20136 (April 14, 2000); Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware 
from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan; Continuation of 
Antidumping Duty Orders, 70 FR 70581 (November 22, 2005).
    On October 1, 2010, the Department initiated the current sunset 
review of the antidumping duty order on POS cooking ware from Taiwan, 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation Notice. We 
received no response to the notice of initiation from the domestic 
industry by the applicable deadline. See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). As a 
result, the Department has determined that no domestic interested party 
intends to participate in the sunset review. See 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B). On October 21, 2010, we notified the 
International Trade Commission, in writing, that we intend to revoke 
the antidumping duty order on POS cooking ware from Taiwan. See 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(2).

Revocation

    Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no domestic interested party files a 
notice of intent to participate in the sunset review, the Department 
shall, within 90 days after the initiation of the review, revoke the 
order. Because no domestic interested party filed a timely notice of 
intent to participate in this sunset review, the Department finds that 
no domestic interested party is participating in this sunset review. 
Therefore, we are revoking the antidumping duty order on POS cooking 
ware from Taiwan.

Effective Date of Revocation

    The effective date of revocation is November 22, 2010, the fifth 
anniversary of the date of publication in the Federal Register of the 
most recent notice of continuation of the antidumping duty order. See 
19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i). Pursuant to sections 751(c)(3)(A) and 
751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the 
Department intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to 
terminate the suspension of liquidation of the merchandise subject to 
this antidumping duty order entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption, on or after November 22, 2010.
    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 of the order and will conduct 
administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the 
effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed 
requests for review.
    This five-year (sunset) review and notice are issued and published 
in accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: December 21, 2010.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
