Revocation of Antidumping Duty Orders: Color Picture Tubes From 
Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Singapore

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of revocation of antidumping duty orders: Color picture 
tubes from Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Singapore.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the United States International Trade Commission 
(``the Commission'') determined that revocation of the

[[Page 20800]]

antidumping duty orders on color picture tubes (``CPTs'') from Canada, 
Japan, the Republic of Korea (``Korea''), and Singapore, is not likely 
to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry 
in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (65 FR 17901 
(April 5, 2000)). Therefore, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1), the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') is revoking the antidumping duty orders on CPTs from 
Canada, Japan, Korea, and Singapore. Pursuant to section 
751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2), the effective 
date of revocation is January 1, 2000.

Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW,

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000.

Background

    On March 1, 1999, the Department initiated, and the Commission 
instituted, sunset reviews (64 FR 9970 and 64 FR 10014, respectively) 
of the antidumping duty orders on CPTs from Canada, Japan, Korea, and 
Singapore, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. As a result of these 
reviews, the Department found that revocation of the antidumping duty 
orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping 
and notified the Commission of the magnitude of the margin likely to 
prevail were the antidumping orders revoked (see Final Results of 
Expedited Sunset Reviews: Color Picture Tubes from Canada, Japan, the 
Republic of Korea, and Singapore, 64 FR 48354 (September 3, 1999)).
    On April 5, 2000, the Commission determined, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on 
CPTs from Canada, Japan, Korea, and Singapore would not likely lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (see Color Picture 
Tubes from Canada, Japan, Korea and Singapore, 65 FR 17901 (April 5, 
2000)).

Scope

    The merchandise subject to these antidumping duty orders is color 
picture tubes from Canada, Japan, Korea, and Singapore. The subject 
merchandise is defined as cathode ray tubes suitable for use in the 
manufacture of color television receivers or other color entertainment 
display devices intended for television viewing. Where a CPT is shipped 
and imported together with all parts necessary for assembly into a 
complete television receiver (i.e., as a ``kit''), the CPT is excluded 
from the scope of these orders. In other words, a kit and a fully 
assembled television are a separate class or kind of merchandise from 
the CPT. Accordingly, the Department determined that, when CPTs are 
shipped together with other parts as television receiver kits, they are 
excluded from the scope of the order. With respect to CPTs which are 
imported for customs purposes as incomplete televison assemblies, we 
determined that these entries are included within the scope of these 
investigations unless both of the following criteria are met: (1) The 
CPT is ``physically integrated'' with other television receiver 
components in such a manner as to constitute one inseparable amalgam 
and (2) the CPT does not constitute a significant portion of the cost 
or value of the items being imported.\1\ Such merchandise was 
classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) item numbers 
8540.11.00.10, 8540.11.00.20, 8540.11.00.30, 8540.11.00.40, 
8540.11.00.50 and 8540.11.00.60. However, due to changes in the HTS, 
the subject merchandise is currently classifiable under HTS items 
8540.11.10, 8540.11.24, 8540.11.28, 8540.11.30, 8540.11.44, 8540.11.48, 
and 8540.11.50. The HTS item numbers are provided for convenience and 
customs purposes only. The written description remains dispositive.

Determination

    As a result of the determination by the Commission that revocation 
of these antidumping duty orders is not likely to lead to continuation 
or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States, 
the Department, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.222(i)(1), is revoking the antidumping duty orders on CPTs from 
Canada, Japan, Korea, and Singapore. Pursuant to section 
751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(ii), this 
revocation is effective January 1, 2000. The Department will instruct 
the U.S. Customs Service to discontinue the suspension of liquidation 
and collection of cash deposit rates on entries of the subject 
merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse on or after January 1, 
2000 (the effective date). The Department will complete any pending 
administrative reviews of these orders and will conduct administrative 
reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the effective date of 
revocation in response to appropriately filed requests for review.
