Dynamic Random Access Memory

Semiconductors (‘‘DRAMs’’) of One

Megabit and Above From the Republic

of Korea; Final Results of Full Sunset

Review and Revocation of Order

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of full

sunset review: Revocation of

antidumping duty order on DRAMs of

one megabit and above from the

Republic of Korea.

SUMMARY: On May 30, 2000, the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) published a notice of

preliminary results of the full sunset

review of the antidumping duty order

on DRAMs of one megabit and above

from the Republic of Korea (65 FR

34439) 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 received

comments from both domestic and

respondent interested parties.

Subsequently, on September 27, 2000,

we received a letter from the petitioner,

Micron Technology, Inc. (‘‘Micron’’),

withdrawing its notice of intent to

participate in this sunset review,

originally filed on November 16, 1999.

Further, Micron withdrew its responses

from this review and stated its support

for revocation of the antidumping order

on DRAMs of One Megabit and Above

from the Republic of Korea (‘‘DRAMs

from Korea’’). Because no domestic

interested party is now participating in

this sunset review, the Department is

revoking the order.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 5, 2000.

respectively.

Statute and Regulations

This review was conducted pursuant

to sections 751(c) and 752 of the Act.

The Department’s procedures for the

conduct of sunset reviews are set forth

in Procedures for Conducting Five-year

(‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews of Antidumping and

Countervailing Duty Orders, 63 FR

13516 (March 20, 1998) (‘‘Sunset

Regulations’’), and in 19 CFR Part 351

(1999) in general.

Guidance on methodological or

analytical issues relevant to the

Department’s conduct of sunset reviews

is set forth in the Department’s Policy

Bulletin 98:3—Policies Regarding the

Conduct of Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’)

Reviews of Antidumping and

Countervailing Duty Orders; Policy

Bulletin, 63 FR 18871 (April 16, 1998)

(‘‘Sunset Policy Bulletin’’).

Background

On May 30, 2000, the Department

published in the Federal Register a

notice of preliminary results of the full

sunset review of the antidumping duty

order on DRAMs of one megabit and

above from the Republic of Korea

pursuant to the Act. In our preliminary

results, we determined that revocation

of the order would be likely to lead to

continuation or recurrence of dumping.

In addition, we preliminarily

determined that the following margins

are likely to prevail for respective

manufactures/exporters if the order

were revoked: Hyundai—20.88 percent

and All Others—4.55 percent.

On July 11, 2000, and on July 12,

2000, we received final versions of case

briefs from Hyundai and Micron

Technology, Inc. (‘‘Micron’’),

respectively, within the deadline

provided for in 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(i).

Also, on July 17, 2000, and on July 18,

2000, Micron and Hyundai,

respectively, submitted final versions of

rebuttal briefs within the deadline

provided for in 19 CFR 351.309(d). The

Department held a public hearing on

August 9, 2000. Subsequently, on

September 27, 2000, Micron withdrew

its interest in this sunset review and

withdrew its responses from the record.

Scope of Review

The products covered by this review

include DRAMs of one megabit and

above from Korea. Assembled DRAMs

include all package types. Unassembled

DRAMs include processed wafers, uncut

die, and cut die. Processed wafers

produced in Korea, but packaged or

assembled into memory modules in a

third country, are included in the scope;

wafers produced in a third country and

assembled or packaged in Korea are not

included in the scope.

The scope of this review includes

memory modules. A memory module is

a collection of DRAMs, the sole function

of which is memory. Modules include

single in-line processing modules

(‘‘SIPs’’), single in-line memory modules

(‘‘SIMMs’’), or other collections of

DRAMs, whether unmounted or

mounted on a circuit board. Modules

that contain other parts that are needed

to support the function of memory are

covered. Only those modules which

contain additional items which alter the

function of the module to something

other than memory, such as video

graphics adapter (‘‘VGA’’) boards and

cards, are not included in the scope.

The scope of this review also includes

video random access memory

semiconductors (‘‘VRAMS’’), as well as

any future packaging and assembling of

DRAMs, and removable memory

modules placed on motherboards, with

or without a central processing unit

(‘‘CPU’’), unless the importer of

motherboards certifies with the Customs

Service that neither it nor a party related

to it or under contract to it will remove

the modules from the motherboards

after importation. The scope of this

review does not include DRAMs or

memory modules that are re-imported

for repair or replacement.

The DRAMs and modules subject to

this review are classifiable under

subheadings 8471.50.0085,

8471.91.8085, 8542.11.0024,

8542.11.8026, 8542.13.8034,

8471.50.4000, 8473.30.1000,

8542.11.0026, 8542.11.8034,

8471.50.8095, 8473.30.4000,

8542.11.0034, 8542.13.8005,

8471.91.0090, 8473.30.8000,

8542.11.8001, 8542.13.8024,

8471.91.4000, 8542.11.0001,

8542.11.8024 and 8542.13.8026 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’).

Although the HTSUS subheadings are

provided for convenience and customs

purposes, the Department’s written

description of the scope of this review

remains dispositive.

Final Results of Review

Determination To Revoke

Because it withdrew both its notice of

intent to participate in this sunset

review and its responses from the

record, the Department now determines

that Micron has not responded to the

Notice of Initiation as set out in section

751(c) of the Act. Without responses

from Micron or any other domestic

interested party on the record of this

sunset review, the Department no longer

finds that revocation of the order would

59392 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 194 / Thursday, October 5, 2000 / Notices

be likely to lead to the continuation of

dumping.

In addition, the Department notes that

Micron affirmatively supports

revocation of the order in this sunset

review. Given that the Department no

longer finds that revocation of the order

would be likely to lead to the

continuation of dumping, pursuant to

section 751(d)(2) of the Act and section

351.222(i)(1) of the Sunset Regulations,

the Department hereby revokes the

order on DRAMs from Korea.

This notice also serves as the only

reminder to parties subject to

administrative protective orders

(‘‘APO’’) of their responsibility

concerning the return or destruction of

proprietary information disclosed under

APO in accordance with 19 CFR

351.305 of the Department’s regulations.

Timely notification of the return or

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 violation which is subject to

sanction.

This five-year (‘‘sunset’’) review and

notice are in accordance with sections

751(c), 752, and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Effective Date of Revocation

Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of

the Act, the Department will instruct the

United States 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 request for review.
