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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

In section 135 of the 1974 Trade Act,

as amended (19 U.S.C. 2155), Congress

established a private-sector advisory

system to ensure that U.S. trade policy

and trade negotiation objectives

adequately reflect U.S. commercial and

economic interests. Section 135(a)(1) of

the 1974 Trade Act directs the President

to ‘‘seek information and advice from

representative elements of the private

sector and the non-Federal

governmental sector with respect to:

(A) Negotiating objectives and

bargaining positions before entering into

a trade agreement under [title I of the

1974 Trade Act and section 1102 of the

Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness

Act of 1988];

(B) The operation of any trade

agreement once entered into; including

preparation for dispute settlement panel

proceedings to which the United States

is a party; and

(C) Other matters arising in

connection with the development,

implementation, and administration of

the trade policy of the United States.

* * *’’

Section 135(c)(2) of the 1974 Trade

Act provides:

(2) The President shall establish such

sectoral or functional advisory

committees as may be appropriate. Such

committees shall, insofar as is

practicable, be representative of all

industry, labor, agricultural, or service

interests (including small business

interests) in the sector or functional

areas concerned. In organizing such

committees, the United States Trade

Representative and the Secretaries of

Commerce, Labor, Agriculture, the

Treasury, or other executive

departments, as appropriate, shall:

(A) Consult with interested private

organizations; and

(B) Take into account such factors

as—

(i) Patterns of actual and potential

competition between United States

industry and agriculture and foreign

enterprise in international trade,

(ii) The character of the nontariff

barriers and other distortions affecting

such competition,

(iii) The necessity for reasonable

limits on the number of such advisory

committees,

(iv) The necessity that each committee

be reasonably limited in size, and

(v) In the case of each sectoral

committee, that the product lines

covered by each committee be

reasonably related.

Pursuant to this provision, Commerce

and USTR have established and co-chair

seventeen Industry Sector Advisory

Committees (ISACs) and four Industry

Functional Advisory Committees

(IFACs). The Committees’ efforts have

resulted in strengthening U.S.

negotiating positions by enabling the

United States to display a united front

when it negotiates trade agreements

with other nations. Committees meet an

average of four times a year in

Washington, D.C. Members serve

without compensation and are

responsible for all expenses incurred in

attending Committee meetings. For

additional information regarding the

functions and membership of these

committees, and general qualifications

for membership, see 64 FR 10448–

10449, March 4, 1999 (Volume 64,

Number 42).

Eligibility

Eligibility to serve as an

environmental representative on ISAC

10 is limited to U.S. citizens who are

not full-time employees of a

governmental entity, who represent a

‘‘U.S. entity’’, and who are not

registered with the Department of

Justice under the Foreign Agents

Registration Act. For purposes of the

preceding sentence, a ‘‘U.S. entity’’ is an

organization incorporated in the United

States (or, if unincorporated, having its

headquarters in the United States):

(1) That is controlled by U.S. citizens

or by another U.S. entity. An entity is

not a U.S. entity if more than 50 percent

of its Board of Directors or membership

is made up of non-U.S. citizens. If the

nominee is to represent an organization

more than 10 percent of whose Board of

Directors or membership is made up of

non-U.S. citizens, or non-U.S. entities,

the nominee must demonstrate at the

time of nomination that this non-U.S.

interest does not constitute control and

will not adversely affect his or her

ability to serve as a trade advisor to the

United States; and

(2) at least 50 percent of whose annual

revenue is attributable to nongovernmental, U.S. sources.

Selection Criteria

USTR and Commerce will select

environmental representatives eligible

for appointment to ISAC 10 based upon

the following:

(1) The organization to be represented

will be considered based on

environmental interest in trade policies

in the sector relevant to the work of the

Committee; and

(2) The nominee should demonstrate

special interest in and knowledge of the

formulation of environmental policies

in the sector relevant to the work of the

Committee, and the ability to work with

governmental officials and industry

representatives to reach consensus on

complex environmental and trade issues

affecting the relevant industry sectors.

(3) Preference will be accorded

nominees who also demonstrate

knowledge of and familiarity with the

relevant industry sectors, as well as

with international trade matters,

including trade policy development

relevant to those sectors.

Environmental representatives, as

members of the Committee, will be

required to have a security clearance.

Members serve without compensation

and are responsible for all expenses

incurred in attending committee

meetings.

Application Procedures

Requests for applications should be

sent to the Director of the Industry

Consultations Program, U.S. Department

of Commerce, 14th and Constitution

Avenue, NW, Room 2015–B,

Washington, D.C. 20230. This notice is

issued under the Federal Advisory

Committee Act (5 U.S.C., app. 2) and 21

CFR part 14 relating to advisory

committees.
