Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order: Frozen Concentrated 
Orange Juice From Brazil.

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of continuation of antidumping duty order: frozen 
concentrated orange juice from Brazil.

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

SUMMARY: On April 7, 1999, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department''), pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of the Tariff Act 
from 1930, as amended (``the Act''), determined that revocation of the 
antidumping duty order on frozen concentrated orange juice from Brazil 
would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping (64 FR 
16901 (April 7, 1999)). On May 21, 1999, the International Trade 
Commission (``the Commission''), pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, 
determined that revocation of the antidumping duty order on frozen 
concentrated orange juice from Brazil would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (64 FR 27806 (May 
21, 1999)). Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4), the Department 
is publishing notice of the continuation of the antidumping duty order 
on frozen concentrated orange juice from Brazil.

Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th and Constitution 
Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6397 or (202) 
482-1560, respectively.

Effective Date: May 28, 1999.

Background

    On December 2, 1998, the Department initiated, and the Commission 
instituted, a sunset review (63 FR 66527 and 63 FR 66527, respectively) 
of the antidumping duty order on frozen concentrated orange juice from 
Brazil pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. As a result of this 
review, the Department found that revocation of the antidumping duty 
order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and 
notified the Commission of the magnitude of the margin likely to 
prevail were the order to be revoked (see Final Results of Expedited 
Sunset Review: Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice from Brazil, 64 FR 
16901 (April 7, 1999)).
    On May 21, 1999, the Commission determined, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
frozen concentrated orange juice from Brazil would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (see Frozen 
Concentrated Orange Juice from Brazil, 64 FR 27806 (May 21, 1999) and 
USITC Pub. 3195, Inv. No. 731-TA-326 (Review) (May 1999)).

Scope

    The merchandise covered by this antidumping duty orders is frozen 
concentrated orange juice from Brazil. The merchandise is currently 
classifiable under subheading 2009.11.00 of the Harmonized Tarriff 
Schedule (HTS). The HTS subheading is provided for convenience and 
customs purposes. The written description remains dispositive.

Determination

    As a result of the determinations by the Department and the 
Commission that revocation of this antidumping duty order would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and material 
injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to section 
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of 
the antidumping duty order on frozen concentrated orange juice from 
Brazil. The Department will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to 
continue to collect antidumping duty deposits at the rate in effect at 
the time of entry for all imports of subject merchandise. Pursuant to 
section 751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Act, any subsequent five-year review 
of this order will be initiated not later than the fifth anniversary of 
the effective date of continuation of this order.
    Normally, the effective date of continuation of a finding, order, 
or suspension agreement will be the date of publication in the Federal 
Register of the Notice of Continuation. As provided in 19 CFR 
351.218(f)(4), the Department normally will issue its determination to 
continue a finding, order, or suspended investigation not later than 
seven days after the date of publication in the Federal Register of the 
Commission's determination concluding the sunset review and immediately 
thereafter will publish its notice of continuation in the Federal 
Register. In the instant case, however, the Department's publication of 
the Notice of Continuation was delayed. The Department has explicitly 
indicated that the effective date of continuation of this order is May 
28, 1999, seven days after the date of publication in the Federal 
Register of the Commission's determination. As a result, pursuant to 
sections 751(c)(2) and 751(c)(6)(A) of the Act, the Department intends 
to initiate the next five-year review of this order not later than 
April 2004.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
