interested parties.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 21, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 3, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register (59 FR 22822) its notice of intent to 
revoke the antidumping finding on portland cement from the Dominican 
Republic (May 4, 1963).
    Additionally, as required by 19 CFR Sec. 353.25(d)(4)(ii), the 
Department served written notice of its intent to revoke this 
antidumping finding on each domestic interested party on the service 
list. Domestic interested parties who might object to the revocation 
were provided the opportunity to submit their comments not later than 
the last day of the anniversary month.

Scope of the Order

    Imports covered by the revocation are shipments of portland cement 
from the Dominican Republic. This merchandise is currently classifiable 
under Harmonized Tariff Schedules (HTS) item number 2523.29.00. The HTS 
number is provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written 
description remains dispositive.
    The Department may revoke an antidumping finding if the Secretary 
concludes that the finding is no longer of any interest to domestic 
interested parties. We conclude that there is no interest in an 
antidumping finding when no interested party has requested an 
administrative review for five consecutive review periods and when no 
domestic interested party objects to revocation (19 CFR 
Sec. 353.25(d)(4)(iii)).
    In this case, we received no request for review for five 
consecutive review periods. Furthermore, no domestic interested party, 
as defined under Sec. 353.2 (i)(3), (i)(4), (i)(5), or (i)(6) of the 
Department's regulations, has expressed opposition to revocation. Based 
on these facts, we have concluded that the antidumping finding on 
portland cement from the Dominican Republic is no longer of any 
interest to interested parties. Accordingly, we are revoking this 
antidumping finding in accordance with 19 CFR Sec. 353.25(d)(4)(iii).
    This revocation applies to all unliquidated entries of portland 
cement from the Dominican Republic entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after May 1, 1994. Entries made during 
the period May 1, 1993, through April 30, 1994, will be subject to 
automatic assessment in accordance with 19 CFR Sec. 353.22(e). The 
Department will instruct the Customs Service to proceed with 
liquidation of all unliquidated entries of this merchandise entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May 1,1994, 
without regard to antidumping duties, and to refund any estimated 
antidumping duties collected with respect to those entries. This notice 
is in accordance with 19 CFR Sec. 353.25(d).

    Dated: July 14, 1994.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
