SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 3, 1987, the Department issued the antidumping duty 
order on stainless steel hollow products from Sweden (52 FR 
45985).1 Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department initiated sunset reviews 
of this order by publishing notice of the initiation in the Federal 
Register (64 FR 35588, July 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 this proceeding to inform them of the automatic 
initiation of the sunset review on stainless steel hollow products from 
Sweden.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On November 5, 1992, the Department amended the antidumping 
duty order to include welded stainless steel hollow products from 
Sweden in the scope of the order (57 FR 52761). On August 16, 1995, 
the Department revoked this order with respect to seamless stainless 
steel hollow products from Sweden (60 FR 42529). The order remains 
in effect for welded stainless steel hollow products from Sweden.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No domestic interested party in the sunset review of this order 
responded to the notice of initiation by the July 16, 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, July 16, 1999, 
we are revoking this antidumping 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after January 1, 2000.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 
antidumping 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: August 26, 1999.
Barnard T. Carreau,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
