SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department issued an

antidumping duty order on professional

electric cutting tools from Japan (58 FR

37461, July 12, 1993). On November 2,

1999, the Department initiated a sunset

review of this order by publishing a

notice of the initiation in the Federal

Register (64 FR 59160). 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 this proceeding to inform

them of the automatic initiation of a

sunset review of this order. In the sunset

review of the antidumping duty order

on professional electric cutting tools

from Japan, we received a notice of

intent to participate from Black &

Decker (U.S.) Inc., and S–B Power Tool

Company (collectively ‘‘the domestic

interested parties’’) by the November 17,

1999, deadline. We also received a

complete substantive response from the

domestic interested parties within the

applicable deadline (see section

351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Department’s

regulations).

On May 15, 2000, we received a

notice from the domestic interested

parties withdrawing in full their

participation in the five-year (sunset)

review of the antidumping duty order

on professional electric cutting tools

from Japan. The domestic interested

parties further stated that they no longer

have an interest in maintaining the

antidumping duty order. As a result, the

Department determined that no

domestic party intends to participate in

the sunset review and, on May 24, 2000,

we notified the International Trade

Commission that we intended to issue a

final determination revoking this

antidumping duty order.1

Determination To Revoke

Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the

Act and section 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3)

of the Department’s 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 or

terminating the suspended

investigation. Because the domestic

interested parties withdrew both their

notice of intent to participate and their

complete substantive response from the

review process, and no other domestic

interested party filed a substantive

response (see sections 351.218(d)(1)(i)

and 351.218(d)(3) of the Department’s

regulations), we are revoking this

antidumping duty order.

Effective Date of Revocation and

Termination

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 this order

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 of this 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.

Dated: May 26, 2000.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.

Silicomanganese From the People’s

Republic of China and Brazil; Final

Results of Antidumping Duty

Expedited Sunset Reviews

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Expedited Sunset

Reviews: Silicomanganese from the

People’s Republic of China and Brazil.

SUMMARY: On November 2, 1999, the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) published the notice of

initiation of sunset reviews of the

antidumping duty orders on

silicomanganese from the People’s

Republic of China (‘‘China’’) and Brazil.

The products covered by these orders

are silicomanganese, which is

sometimes called ferrosilicon

manganese. On the basis of notices of

intent to participate and adequate

substantive comments filed on behalf of

a domestic interested party and

inadequate response (in these cases, no

response) from respondent interested

parties, we determined to conduct

expedited reviews. Based on our

analysis of the comments received, we

find that revocation of the antidumping

duty orders would be likely to lead to

continuation or recurrence of dumping

at the levels listed below in the section

entitled ‘‘Final Results of Reviews.’’

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 2, 2000.
