ACTION: Notice of Final Results of Sunset Reviews and Revocation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders: Standard Carnations from Kenya (A-779-602) and Standard Chrysanthemums from the Netherlands (C- 421-601). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On February 1, 1999, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty order on standard carnations from Kenya and the countervailing duty order on standard chrysanthemums from the Netherlands. Because no domestic party responded to the sunset review notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, the Department is revoking these orders. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Darla D. Brown or Melissa G. Skinner, Office of Policy, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482- 3207 or (202) 482-1560, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Department issued an antidumping duty order on standard carnations from Kenya (52 FR 13490, April 23, 1987) and a countervailing duty order on standard chrysanthemums from the Netherlands (52 FR 7646, March 12, 1987). Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department initiated sunset reviews of these orders by publishing notice of the initiation in the Federal Register (64 FR 4840, February 1, 1999). 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 orders. No domestic interested parties in the sunset reviews of these orders responded to the notice of initiation by the February 16, 1999, 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 domestic interested party responds to the notice of initiation, the Department shall issue a final determination, within 90 days after the initiation of the review, revoking the finding or order or terminating the suspended investigation. Because no domestic interested party responded to the notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, February 16, 1999, we are revoking these antidumping and countervailing duty orders. Effective Date of Revocation and Termination 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 orders 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 antidumping/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. Dated May 3, 1999. Robert S. LaRussa, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc. 99-11569 Filed 5-6-99; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-DS-P
