Duty Order

ACTION: Notice of revocation of antidumping duty order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is notifying the 
public of its revocation of the antidumping duty order on large 
electric motors from Japan because it is no longer of any interest to 
domestic interested parties.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 19, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Elizabeth Urfer or Michael Panfeld, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street & Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230, telephone 
(202) 482-4052.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department may revoke an antidumping duty order if the 
Secretary concludes that the duty order is no longer of any interest to 
domestic interested parties. We conclude that there is no interest in 
an antidumping duty order 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)).
    On December 4, 1995, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (60 FR 62071) its notice of intent to revoke the antidumping 
duty order on large electric motors from Japan (December 24, 1980). 
Additionally, as required by 19 CFR Sec. 353.25(d)(4)(ii), the 
Department served written notice of its intent to revoke this 
antidumping duty order 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. Objections or requests for 
review were originally due December 31, 1995. However, due to the 
partial government shutdown from December 6, 1995, through January 6, 
1996, the time frame to either object or request a review was extended 
22 days. Such requests for review or objections to our intent to revoke 
were therefore due by January 22, 1996.
    In this case, we received no requests for review for five 
consecutive review periods. Furthermore, no domestic interested party, 
as defined under Sec. 353.2(k)(3), (k)(4), (k)(5), or (k)(6) of the 
Department's regulations, has expressed timely opposition to 
revocation. Based on these facts, we have concluded that the 
antidumping duty order on large electric motors from Japan is no longer 
of any interest to interested parties. Accordingly, we are revoking 
this antidumping duty order in accordance with 19 CFR 
Sec. 353.25(d)(4)(iii).

Scope of the Order

    Imports covered by the revocation are shipments of large electric 
motors from Japan. This merchandise is currently classifiable under 
Harmonized Tariff Schedules (HTS) item numbers 8501.53.40, 8501.53.60, 
and 8501.53.80. The HTS numbers are provided for convenience and 
customs purposes. The written description remains dispositive.
    This revocation applies to all unliquidated entries of large 
electric motors from Japan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after December 1, 1995. Entries made during the 
period December 1, 1994, through November 30, 1995, 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 December 1, 1995, 
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: November 6, 1996.
Barbara R. Stafford,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for AC/CVD Enforcement.
