FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Martha V. Douthit, Office of Policy, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Pennsylvania Avenue and 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5050. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [[Page 47763]] Background The Department issued antidumping duty orders on small business telephone systems from Japan (54 FR 50789) and small business telephone systems from Taiwan (54 FR 50790) on December 11, 1989. The Department also issued antidumping duty orders on small business telephone systems from South Korea (55 FR 4215) on February 7, 1990, multi-angle laser light scattering instruments (55 FR 48144) from Japan on November 19, 1990, and benzyl paraben from Japan (56 FR 5795) on February 13, 1991. 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 29261 (June 1, 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 sunset reviews on these orders. No domestic interested parties in the sunset reviews on these orders responded to the notice of initiation by the June 16, 1999, deadline (see section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of the 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 Sec. 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. Because no domestic interested party responded to the notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, June 16, 1999, we are revoking these antidumping duty orders. 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Customs Service to terminate the suspension of liquidation of the merchandise subject to these orders entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after January 1, 2000.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 antidumping duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete any pending administrative reviews on these orders 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: August 26, 1999. Bernard T. Carreau, Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc. 99-22790 Filed 8-31-99; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-DS-P
