SUMMARY: On February 27, 2000, and

March 3, 2000, the Department of

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’),

pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the

Act’’), determined that termination of

the suspended antidumping duty and

countervailing duty investigations on

gray portland cement and cement

clinker from Venezuela would be likely

to lead to continuation or recurrence of

dumping. See Gray Portland Cement

and Cement Clinker From Venezuela;

On November 1, 2000, the

International Trade Commission (‘‘the

Commission’’), pursuant to section

751(c) of the Act, determined that

termination of the suspended

antidumping duty and countervailing

duty investigations on gray portland

cement and cement clinker from

Venezuela would not be likely to lead

to continuation or recurrence of material

injury to an industry in the United

States within a reasonably foreseeable

time. See Gray Portland Cement and

Cement Clinker from Japan, Mexico,

and Venezuela, 65 FR 65327 (November

1, 2000). Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR

351.222(i)(1), the Department is

publishing this notice of termination of

the suspended antidumping duty and

countervailing duty investigations on

gray portland cement and cement

clinker from Venezuela.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On August 2, 1999, the Department

initiated, and the Commission

instituted, sunset reviews of the

suspended antidumping duty and

countervailing duty investigations on

gray portland cement and cement

clinker from Venezuela. See 64 FR

41915, 41958, respectively. As a result

of its reviews, the Department found

that termination of the suspended

antidumping duty and countervailing

duty investigations would likely lead to

continuation or recurrence of dumping,

and notified the Commission of the

magnitude of the margins likely to

prevail were the suspended

investigations revoked.

On November 1, 2000, the

Commission determined, pursuant to

section 751(c) of the Act, that

termination of the suspended

antidumping duty and countervailing

duty investigations covering cement and

cement clinker from Venezuela would

not be likely to lead to continuation or

recurrence of material injury to an

industry in the United States within a

reasonably foreseeable time. See Gray

Portland Cement and Cement Clinker

from Japan, Mexico, and Venezuela, 65

FR 65327 (November 1, 2000), and

USITC Publication 3361, Investigation

Nos. 303–TA–21 (Review) and 731–TA–

451, 461, and 519 (Review) (October

2000).

Scope of the Suspended Investigations

The products covered by these

investigations are gray portland cement

and cement clinker (‘‘portland cement’’)

from Venezuela. Gray portland cement

is a hydraulic cement and the primary

component of concrete. Cement clinker,

an intermediate material produced

when manufacturing cement, has no use

other than grinding into finished

cement. Oil well cement is also

included within the scope. Microfine

cement was specifically excluded from

the scope. Gray portland cement is

currently classifiable under the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (‘‘HTS’’)

item number 2523.29, and cement

clinker is currently classifiable under

HTS item number 2523.10. Gray

portland cement has also been entered

under item number 2523.90 as other

hydraulic cements. The HTS item

numbers are provided for convenience

and customs purposes. The written

product description remains dispositive

as to the scope of the product coverage.

Determination

As a result of the determination by the

Commission that termination of the

suspended antidumping duty and

countervailing duty investigations

would not be likely to lead to

continuation or recurrence of material

injury to an industry in the United

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of

the Act, the Department hereby orders

the termination of the suspended

antidumping duty and countervailing

duty investigations on gray portland

cement and cement clinker from

Venezuela.

Effective Date of Termination

The termination of the suspended

investigations is effective as to all

entries, or withdrawals from warehouse,

of the subject merchandise on or after

January 1, 2000.

Dated: November 8, 2000.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.
