Sulfanilic Acid From Hungary and 

Portugal: Final Results of Sunset 

Reviews and Revocation of Orders 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On October 1, 2007, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published in the Federal 

Register the notice of initiation of the 

five-year sunset reviews of the 

antidumping duty orders on sulfanilic 

acid from Hungary and Portugal and the 

countervailing duty order on sulfanilic 

acid from Hungary, pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’). Because the 

domestic interested party has 

withdrawn its participation and 

substantive responses in these sunset 

reviews, the Department is revoking 

these antidumping and countervailing 

duty orders. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 8, 

2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 8, 2002, the Department 

issued antidumping duty orders on 

sulfanilic acid from Hungary and 

Portugal (67 FR 68100) and a 

countervailing duty order on sulfanilic 

acid from Hungary (67 FR 68101). On 

October 1, 2007, the Department 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
7528 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 27 / Friday, February 8, 2008 / Notices 

1The statue requires revocation of an order 

within 90 days of initiating a sunset review when 

no party responds to the notice of initiation. See 

section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act. However, in this 

case, even though the domestic interested party 

withdrew its participation after the 90-day period 

had expired, we find no basis to continue the 

orders. 

initiated sunset reviews of these orders. 

See Initiation of Five-year (Sunset) 

Reviews, 72 FR 55742 (October 1, 2007). 

On October 12, 2007, and October 31, 

2007, we received notices of intent to 

participate and substantive responses, 

respectively, in these sunset reviews 

from a domestic interested party. Based 

on this information, on October 23, 

2007, we informed the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) 

that there was domestic interest in 

continuation of these orders. Also, on 

November 21, 2007, we informed the 

ITC that we did not receive adequate 

substantive responses from any 

respondent parties and, as a result, we 

would be conducting expedited sunset 

reviews of these orders. 

On January 28, 2008, we received a 

letter from the domestic interested party 

that it was withdrawing its notices of 

intent to participate in these sunset 

reviews and that it was no longer 

interested in continuation of these 

orders. In addition, on January 29, 2008, 

the domestic interested party filed a 

letter withdrawing its substantive 

response from the records of these 

sunset reviews. Because the Department 

has not expended substantial resources 

in conducting these expedited sunset 

reviews, we are accepting the domestic 

interested party’s withdrawal of its 

notices of intent to participate and 

substantive responses. Therefore, the 

Department determines that there is no 

domestic participation or adequate 

substantive responses from a domestic 

interested party. 

Scope of the Order 

Imports covered by this order are all 

grades of sulfanilic acid (‘‘sulfanilic 

acid’’ or ‘‘subject merchandise’’), which 

include technical (or crude) sulfanilic 

acid, refined (or purified) sulfanilic 

acid, and sodium salt of sulfanilic acid. 

Sulfanilic acid is a synthetic organic 

chemical produced from the direct 

sulfonation of aniline and sulfuric acid. 

Sulfanilic acid is used as a raw material 

in the production of optical brighteners, 

food colors, specialty dyes, and concrete 

additives. The principal differences 

between the grades are the undesirable 

quantities of residual aniline and alkali 

insoluble materials present in the 

sulfanilic acid. All grades are available 

as dry, free flowing powers. 

Technical sulfanilic acid, currently 

classifiable under the subheading 

2921.42.22 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’), contains 96 percent 

minimum sulfanilic acid, 1.0 percent 

maximum aniline, and 1.0 percent 

maximum alkali insoluble materials. 

Refined sulfanilic acid, also currently 

classifiable under 2921.42.22 of the 

HTSUS, contains 98 percent minimum 

sulfanilic acid, 0.5 percent maximum 

aniline, and 0.25 percent maximum 

alkali insoluble materials. 

Sodium salt (sodium sulfanilate), 

currently classifiable under the HTSUS 

subheading 2921.42.90, is a powder, 

granular, or crystalline material which 

contains 75 percent minimum 

equivalent sulfanilic acid, 0.5 percent 

maximum aniline based on the 

equivalent sulfanilic acid content, and 

0.25 percent maximum alkali insoluble 

materials based on the equivalent 

sulfanilic acid content. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of this order is dispositive. 

Determination to Revoke 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), 

if no domestic interested party files a 

notice of intent to participate, the 

Department shall, within 90 days after 

the initiation of the review, issue a final 

determination revoking the order. None 

of the respondent interested parties 

responded to the notices of initiation. 

Further, because the domestic interested 

party has withdrawn its notices of intent 

to participate and its substantive 

responses in these sunset reviews, the 

Department finds that no domestic 

interested part is participating in these 

sunset reviews.1 Therefore, consistent 

with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(i) and section 

751(c)(3) of the Act, we are revoking 

these antidumping and countervailing 

duty orders. The effective date of 

revocation is November 8, 2007, the 

fifth anniversary of the date of the 

Department published these 

antidumping duty orders and the 

countervailing duty order. See 19 CFR 

351.222(i)(2)(i). 

Effective Date of Revocation 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the 

Department will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation of the 

merchandise subject to this order 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

on or after November 8, 2007. Entries of 

subject merchandise prior to the 

effective date of revocation will 

continue to be subject to suspension of 

liquidation and antidumping and 

countervailing duty deposit 

requirements. 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. 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

notice are in accordance with sections 

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

Dated: January 29, 2008. 

David M. Spooner, 

Assistant Secretary for Import 

Administration.
