Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Final Results of Sunset Reviews and Revocation of 
Antidumping Duty Findings for: Racing Plates from Canada (A-122-050),

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

SUMMARY: On August 3, 1998, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping findings on 
racing plates from Canada and acrylic sheet from Japan. Because no 
domestic interested party responded to the sunset review notice of 
initiation by the applicable deadline, the Department is revoking these 
findings.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Martha V. Douthit, Scott E. Smith, or 
Melissa G. Skinner, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania Avenue and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Treasury Department issued antidumping findings on racing 
plates from Canada (37 FR 11772, June 14, 1972), and acrylic sheet from 
Japan (37 FR 11772, June 14, 1972). Pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department initiated 
sunset reviews of these findings by publishing notice of the initiation 
in the Federal Register (63 FR 41227). 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 inform them of the automatic 
initiation of a sunset review on these findings.
    No domestic interested parties in any of these sunset reviews of 
these findings responded to the notice of initiation by the August 18, 
1998, 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 to Revoke

    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 interested 
party responds to the notice of initiation, the Department of Commerce 
shall issue a final determination, within 90 days after the initiation 
of the review, revoking the finding or terminating the suspended 
investigation. Because no domestic interested party responded to the 
notice of initiation by the applicable deadline of August 18, 1998 (see 
section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of the Sunset Regulations), we are revoking 
these antidumping findings.

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 findings 
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 
duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete any pending 
administrative reviews of these findings and will conduct 
administrative reviews on all entries prior to the effective date of 
revocation in response to appropriately filed requests for review.

    Dated: October 15, 1998.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
