In addition, the Department initiated sunset reviews of countervailing duty orders on hot-rolled lead and bismuth carbon steel products from Brazil, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom (64 FR 53320). The Department is revoking the aforementioned antidumping and countervailing duty orders on hot-rolled lead and bismuth carbon steel because no domestic party responded to the sunset review notice of initiation by the applicable deadline. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Young 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 On March 22, 1993, the Department issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders on hot-rolled lead and bismuth carbon steel products from Brazil, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom (58 FR 15324). Pursuant to section 71(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 (October 1, 1999 (64 FR 53320)). 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 [[Page 61822]] inform them of the automatic initiation of the sunset reviews on these orders. However, no domestic interested party in the sunset reviews on these orders responded to the notice of initiation by the October 19, 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 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 order. Because no domestic interested party in the sunset reviews of hot-rolled lead and bismuth carbon steel products from Brazil, France, Germany, or the United Kingdom responded to the notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, we are revoking these antidumping and countervailing duty orders. 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 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 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: Dated: November 8, 1999. Robert S. LaRussa, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc. 99-29753 Filed 11-12-99; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-DS-M
