Supplementary Information
Background
The Treasury Department issued antidumping findings on racing plates from Canada (37 FR 11772, June 14, 1972), and acrylic sheet from Japan (37 FR 11772, June 14, 1972). Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department initiated sunset reviews of these findings by publishing notice of the initiation in the Federal Register (63 FR 41227). In addition, as a courtesy to interested parties, the Department sent letters, via certified and registered mail, to each party listed on the Department's most current service list for these proceedings to inform them of the automatic initiation of a sunset review on these findings. No domestic interested parties in any of these sunset reviews of these findings responded to the notice of initiation by the August 18, 1998, deadline (see section 351.218 (d)(1)(i) of Procedures for Conducting Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 63 FR 13520 (March 20, 1998) (``Sunset Regulations'')).
Determination to Revoke
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3) of the Sunset Regulations, if no interested party responds to the notice of initiation, the Department of Commerce shall issue a final determination, within 90 days after the initiation of the review, revoking the finding or terminating the suspended investigation. Because no domestic interested party responded to the notice of initiation by the applicable deadline of August 18, 1998 (see section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Sunset Regulations), we are revoking these antidumping findings.
Effective Date of Revocation
Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act, the Department will instruct the United States Customs Service to terminate the suspension of liquidation of the merchandise subject to these findings entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after January 1, 2000.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 duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete any pending administrative reviews of these findings and will conduct administrative reviews on all entries prior to the effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed requests for review.
