ACTION: Notice of Final Results of Changed Circumstances Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review and Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On December 9, 1991, the Department of Commerce (the
Department) published in the Federal Register an antidumping duty order
on ceiling fans from the People's Republic of China (PRC). We are now
revoking the order, based on the fact that this order is no longer of
interest to domestic parties.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 17, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrea Chu or Michael Rill, Office of
Antidumping Compliance, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 9, 1991, the Department published in the Federal
Register (56 FR 64249) an antidumping duty order on ceiling fans from
the PRC (the order). On September 27, 1994, Lasko Metal Products, Inc.
(Lasko), the petitioner in this proceeding, submitted a request for a
changed circumstances administrative review and revocation of the order
on the basis that the order no longer is of interest to the petitioner.
On October 14, 1994, Lasko reaffirmed its September 27, 1994, request
for the revocation of the order.
On January 17, 1995, the Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of initiation and preliminary results of changed
circumstances review to determine whether to revoke the order. (See
Ceiling Fans from the People's Republic of China: Termination of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Initiation and Preliminary
Results of Changed Circumstances Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, and Intent to Revoke Order, 60 FR 3390.) We found that Lasko's
affirmative statement of no interest constitutes good cause for
conducting a changed circumstances review. We gave
[[Page 14421]] interested parties an opportunity to comment on the
preliminary results of this changed circumstances review. We received
no comments.
Scope of the Review
Ceiling fans are electric fans that direct a downward and/or upward
flow of air using a fan blade/motor unit. Ceiling fans incorporate a
self-contained electric motor of an output not exceeding 125 watts.
Ceiling fans are designed for permanent or semi-permanent installation.
Industrial ceiling fans are defined as ceiling fans that meet six or
more of the following criteria in any combination: A maximum speed of
greater than 280 revolutions per minute (RPMs); a minimum air delivery
capacity of 8000 cubic feet per minute (CFM); no reversible motor
switch; controlled by wall-mounted electronic switch; no built-in motor
controls; no decorative features; not light adaptable; fan blades
greater than 52 inches in diameter; metal fan blades; downrod mounting
only--no hugger mounting capability; three fan blades; fan blades
mounted on top of motor housing; single-speed motor.
The Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) subheading under which ceiling
fans are classifiable is 8414.51.0030. Although the HTS subheading is
provided for convenience and Customs purposes, our written description
of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive.
This changed circumstances administrative review covers all
manufacturers/exporters of ceiling fans from the PRC.
Final Results of Review; Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order
The affirmative statement of no interest by Lasko, the petitioner,
constitutes changed circumstances sufficient to warrant revocation of
the order. Therefore, the Department is revoking the order on ceiling
fans from the PRC in accordance with sections 751 (b) and (c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) and 19 CFR 353.25(d)(1). This revocation
applies to all entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 5, 1991.
The Department will instruct the Customs Service to proceed with
liquidation, without regard to antidumping duties, of all unliquidated
entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after June 5, 1991. The Department will further
instruct the Customs Service to refund with interest any estimated
duties collected with respect to unliquidated entries of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after December 9, 1991, in accordance with section 778 of the Act.
This changed circumstances review, revocation of the antidumping
duty order, and notice are in accordance with sections 751 (b) and (c)
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675 (b) and (c)) and sections 353.22(f) and
353.25(d) of the Department's regulations.
Dated: March 10, 1995.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
