High Power Microwave Amplifiers and

Components Thereof From Japan:

Final Results of ChangedCircumstances Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review and Revocation

in Part of Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce

ACTION: Notice of final results of

changed-circumstances antidumping

duty administrative review and

revocation in part of antidumping duty

order.

SUMMARY: On November 1, 1996, the

Department of Commerce (the

Department) initiated a changed

circumstances antidumping

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on high power

microwave amplifiers (HPMAs) from

Japan and issued the preliminary results

of this review expressing an intent to

revoke the order in part (61 FR 56512).

We received no comments regarding the

preliminary results. We are now

revoking the order, in part, with regard

to traveling wave tubes (TWTs) and

klystron tubes, two components of

HPMAs, based on the fact that this

portion of the order is no longer of

interest to domestic interested parties.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 28, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Hermes Pinilla or Kris Campbell, Office

of AD/CVD Enforcement, Import

Administration, International Trade

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230;

telephone (202) 482–3477.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 28, 1996, respondent NEC

Corporation and NEC America, Inc.

(NEC), requested that the Department

conduct a changed-circumstances

administrative review to determine

whether to revoke the order partially

with regard to TWTs and klystron tubes.

In addition, on August 26, 1996, MCL

Inc. (MCL), the petitioner in this

proceeding, submitted a letter

supporting NEC’s request for a review

and partial revocation of the order. On

October 22, 1996, MCL submitted a

letter requesting that the partial

revocation be effective July 1, 1996.

We preliminarily determined that

MCL’s affirmative statement of no

interest constitutes good cause for

conducting a changed-circumstances

review. Consequently, on November 1,

1996, we published a notice of initiation

and preliminary results of changedcircumstances antidumping duty

administrative review (61 FR 56512), in

which we preliminarily determined to

revoke this order in part. We gave

interested parties an opportunity to

comment on the preliminary results of

this changed-circumstances review. We

received no comments.

Scope of Review

The products covered by this

changed-circumstances review are

imports of TWTs and klystron tubes,

which are components of HPMAs.

The products covered by the order are

HPMAs and components thereof. High

power microwave amplifiers are radiofrequency power amplifier assemblies,

and components thereof, specifically

designed for uplink transmission in C,

X, and Ku bands from fixed earth

stations to communications satellites

and having a power output of one

kilowatt or more. High power

microwave amplifiers may be imported

in subassembly form, as complete

amplifiers, or as a component of higher

level assemblies (generally earth

stations). This merchandise is currently

classifiable under item 8525.10.80 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). The

HTS item number is provided for

convenience and customs purposes. The

written description remains dispositive.

Final Results of Review; Partial

Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order

The lack of further interest by

domestic interested parties constitutes

changed circumstances sufficient to

warrant partial revocation of this order.

Therefore, we are partially revoking the

order on HPMAs from Japan with regard

to TWTs and klystron tubes, in

accordance with sections 751(b) and (d)

and 782(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 353.25

(d)(1). The revocation is effective as of

July 1, 1996, consistent with MCL’s

request.

The Department will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service (Customs) to proceed

with liquidation, without regard to

antidumping duties, of all unliquidated

entries of TWTs and klystron tubes from

Japan entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

July 1, 1996, in accordance with 19 CFR

353.25(d)(5). The Department will

further instruct Customs to refund with

interest any estimated duties collected

with respect to unliquidated entries of

TWTs and klystron tubes entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after July 1, 1996, in

accordance with section 778 of the Act.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective orders (APOs) of their

responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written

notification of the return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and terms of an APO is a sanctionable

violation.

This changed-circumstances

administrative review, partial

revocation of the antidumping duty

order, and notice are in accordance with

sections 751(b) and (d) and 782(h) of the

Act and sections 353.22(f) and 353.25(d)

of the Department’s regulations.

Administration.
