SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department issued a countervailing duty order on welded carbon 
steel line pipe from Turkey (51 FR 7984, March 7, 1986). Pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the 
Department initiated a sunset review of this order by publishing notice 
of the initiation in the Federal Register (64 FR 23596, May 3, 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 this proceeding to inform 
them of the automatic initiation of a sunset review on this order.
    No domestic interested parties in the sunset review of this order 
responded to the notice of initiation by the May 18, 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 domestic 
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, May 18, 1999, 
we are revoking this countervailing duty order.

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 this order 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after January 1, 2000.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 
countervailing duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete 
any pending administrative reviews of this order and will conduct 
administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the 
effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed 
requests for review.

    Dated: June 1, 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
