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

ACTION: Notice of revocation of antidumping finding: Stainless steel 
plate from Sweden.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act from 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the United States International Trade Commission 
(``the Commission'') determined that revocation of the antidumping 
finding on stainless steel plate from Sweden is not likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (64 FR 37167 (July 
9, 1999)). Therefore, pursuant to section 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(iii), 
the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is publishing notice of 
the revocation of the antidumping finding on stainless steel plate from 
Sweden. Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act, the effective 
date of revocation is January 1, 2000.

Background

    On August 3, 1998, the Department initiated, and the Commission 
instituted, a sunset review (63 FR 41227 and 63 FR 63748, respectively) 
of the antidumping finding on stainless steel plate from Sweden 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. As a result of the review, the 
Department found that revocation of the antidumping finding would 
likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the 
Commission of the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail were the 
finding to be revoked. (See Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review: 
Stainless Steel Plate from Sweden, 63 FR 67658 (December 8, 1998)).
    On July 9, 1999, the Commission determined, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping finding on 
stainless steel plate would not be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within a reasonably foreseeable time. (See Stainless Steel Plate from 
Sweden, 64 FR 37167 (July 9, 1999) and USITC Pub. 3204, Inv. No.
