publication of an antidumping duty

order under section 351.211 or a

determination under section

351.218(f)(4) to continue an order or

suspended investigation (after sunset

review), the Secretary, if requested by a

domestic interested party within 30

days of the date of publication of the

determine whether antidumping duties

have been absorbed by an exporter or

producer subject to the review if the

subject merchandise is sold in the

United States through an importer that

is affiliated with such exporter or

producer. The request must include the

name(s) of the exporter or producer for

which the inquiry is requested.

Interested parties must submit

Final Results of Full Sunset Reviews:

Bars and Wedges and Hammers and

Sledges From the People’s Republic of

China

AGENCY: Import Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Final Results of Full

Sunset Reviews: Bars and Wedges and

Hammers and Sledges from the People’s

Republic of China.

SUMMARY: On January 24, 2000, the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) published a notice of

preliminary results of the full sunset

reviews of antidumping duty orders on

bars and wedges and hammers and

sledges from the People’s Republic of

China (65 FR 3658) 1 pursuant to section

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (‘‘the Act’’). We provided

interested parties an opportunity to

comment on our preliminary results. We

did not receive comments from either

domestic or respondent interested

parties. As a result of these reviews, the

Department finds that revocation of

these orders would be likely to lead to

continuation or recurrence of dumping

at the rates indicated in the Final

Results of Review section of this notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 2, 2000.

Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Act are references to the

provisions effective January 1, 1995, the

effective date of the amendments made

to the Act by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act (‘‘URAA’’). In addition,

unless otherwise indicated, all citations

to the Department regulations are to 19

CFR part 351 (1999). Guidance on

methodological or analytical issues

relevant to the Department’s conduct of

sunset reviews is set forth in the

Department Policy Bulletin 98:3—

Policies Regarding the Conduct of Fiveyear (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews of

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

Orders; Policy Bulletin, 63 FR 18871

(April 16, 1998) (Sunset Policy

Bulletin).

Background

On January 24, 2000, the Department

published a notice of preliminary

results of the full sunset reviews of the

antidumping duty orders on bars and

wedges and hammers and sledges from

the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’)

(65 FR 3658) 2 pursuant to section 751(c)

of the Act. In our preliminary results,

we determined that revocation of the

antidumping duty orders would be

likely to lead to continuation or

recurrence of dumping. In addition, we

preliminarily determined that the

following weighted-average dumping

margins are likely to prevail if the

orders were revoked: PRC-wide rate of

31.76 percent ad valorem for bars/

wedges and 45.42 percent ad valorem

for hammers/sledges.

Neither domestic nor respondent

interested parties submitted case briefs

within the deadline specified in 19 CFR

351.309(c)(1)(i).

Scope of Review

The products covered by these orders

include bars/wedges and hammers/

sledges from the PRC. Although we

provide the full scope language for the

order on heavy forged hand tools

(‘‘HFHTs’’) below, this determination

applies only to the types of HFHTs

which fall under the orders (A–570–

803) on bars/wedges and hammers/

sledges from the PRC. HFHTs include

heads for drilling, hammers, sledges,

axes, mauls, picks, and mattocks, which

may or may not be painted, which may

or may not be finished, or which may

or may not be imported with handles;

assorted bar products and track tools

including wrecking bars, digging bars

and tampers; and steel wood splitting

wedges. HFHTs are manufactured

through a hot forge operation in which

steel is sheared to the required length,

heated to forging temperature, and

formed to final shape on forging

equipment using dies specific to the

desired product shape and size.

Depending on the product, finishing

operations may include shot-blasting,

grinding, polishing, and painting, and

the insertion of handles for handled

products. HFHTs are currently

classifiable under the following

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (‘‘HTS’’)

item numbers 8205.20.60, 8205.59.30,

8201.30.00, and 8201.40.60. Specifically

excluded are hammers and sledges with

heads 1.5 kilograms (3.33 pounds) in

weight and under, and hoes and rakes,

and bars 18 inches in length and under.

The HTS item numbers are provided for

convenience and customs purposes

only. The written description of the

scope remains dispositive.

There has been one scope ruling with

respect to the orders on HFHTs from the

PRC in which the Forrest Tool

Company’s Max Multipurpose Tool was

determined to be within the scope of the

order (58 FR 59991, (November 12,

1993)).

Analysis of Comments Received

The Department did not receive a case

brief from either domestic or respondent

interested parties. We have not made

any changes to our preliminary results

of January 24, 2000 (65 FR 3658).3

Final Results of Review

As a result of these reviews, the

Department finds that revocation of the

antidumping duty orders would be

likely to lead to continuation or
