SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department issued antidumping duty orders on brazing copper 
wire and rod from New Zealand (50 FR 49740, December 4, 1985), brazing 
copper wire and rod from South Africa (51 FR 3640, January 29, 1986), 
and cellular mobile phones from Japan (50 FR 51724, December 19, 1985). 
Pursuant to section 751(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 (64 FR 364, 
January 4, 1999). 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 orders.
    No domestic interested parties in the sunset reviews of these 
orders responded to the notice of initiation by the January 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 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 shall issue 
a final determination, within 90 days after the initiation of the 
review, revoking the finding or order or terminating the suspended 
investigation. Because no domestic interested party responded to the 
notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, January 19, 1999, we 
are revoking these antidumping duty orders.

Effective Date of Revocation and Termination

    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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after January 1, 2000.

[[Page 15729]]

Entries of subject merchandise prior to the effective date of 
revocation will continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and 
antidumping duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete any 
pending administrative reviews of these orders and will conduct 
administrative reviews of all entries prior to the effective date of 
revocation in response to appropriately filed requests for review.

    Dated: March 26, 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
