ACTION: Revocation of antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate from Spain. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the International Trade Commission (``the Commission''), determined that revocation of the antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate from Spain would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (64 FR 60225 (November 4, 1999)). Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(4), the Department is publishing notice of the revocation of the antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate from Spain. 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. Effective Date: January 1, 2000.

Skinner, Office of Policy for Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482- 6397 or (202) 482-1560, respectively. Background On November 2, 1998, the Department initiated, and the Commission instituted, a sunset review (63 FR 58709 and 63 FR 58765, respectively) of the antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate from Spain pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. As a result of this review, the Department found that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the Commission of the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail were the order to be revoked (see Final Results of Expedited Sunset Reviews: Potassium Permanganate from Spain, 64 FR 16907 (April 7, 1999)). On November 4, 1999, the Commission determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate from Spain would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (see Potassium Permanganate from China and Spain, 64 FR 60225 (November 4, 1999), and USITC Pub. 3245, Inv. Nos. 731-TA-125-126 (October 1999)). Scope The merchandise subject to this antidumping order is potassium permanganate from Spain, an inorganic chemical produced in free- flowing, technical, and pharmaceutical grades.1 Potassium permanganate is classifiable under item 2841.61.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The HTSUS item number is provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written description remains dispositive. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ On May 19, 1995, the Department determined that plastic ignitor spheres containing potassium permanganate are not within the scope of the order (60 FR 26871). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 66168]] Determination As a result of this determination by the Commission that revocation of this antidumping duty order would not be 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, is revoking the antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate from Spain. 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. The Department will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to discontinue suspension of liquidation and collection of cash deposits 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 this order and will conduct administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed requests for review.
