Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On June 1, 2016, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on granular 
polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) resin from Italy. Because the domestic 
interested parties did not participate in this sunset review, the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 30, 1988, the Department issued the antidumping duty 
order on granular PTFE resin from Italy.\1\ On July 18, 2011, at the 
conclusion of the most recently completed sunset review, the Department 
published a notice of continuation of the antidumping duty order on 
PTFE resin from Italy.\2\ On June 1, 2016, the Department initiated the 
current sunset review of this order.\3\ We did not receive a notice of 
intent to participate from domestic interested parties for this sunset 
review by the applicable deadline. As a result, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(A), the Department determined that no domestic 
interested party intends to participate in this sunset review, and on 
June 20, 2016, we notified the International Trade Commission, in 
writing, that we intended to issue a final determination revoking this 
antidumping duty order.\4\

Scope of the Order

    The product covered by the order is PTFE resin, filled or unfilled. 
The order also covers PTFE wet raw polymer exported from Italy to the 
United States. See Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin From Italy; 
Final Affirmative Determination of Circumvention of Antidumping Duty 
Order, 58 FR 26100 (April 30, 1993). The order excludes PTFE 
dispersions in water and fine powders. During the period covered by 
this review, such merchandise was classified under item number 
3904.61.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS). We are providing this HTSUS number for convenience and customs 
purposes only. The written description of the scope remains 
dispositive.

Revocation

    Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (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. Because no domestic 
interested party filed a notice of intent to participate, the 
Department finds that no domestic interested party is participating in 
this sunset review. Therefore, we are revoking the antidumping duty 
order on PTFE from Italy.

Effective Date of Revocation

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of 
revocation is July 18, 2016, the fifth anniversary of the effective 
date of publication in the Federal Register of the previous 
continuation of this order.\5\ Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department intends to issue 
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, 15 days after 
publication of this notice, to terminate the suspension of liquidation 
of the merchandise subject to this order entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after July 18, 2016. Entries of 
subject merchandise prior to the effective date of revocation will 
continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and
