Department'') initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty order on 
defrost timers from Japan, and the suspended antidumping duty 
investigations on color negative photo paper and chemical components

the sunset review notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, the 
Department is revoking this order and terminating these suspended 
investigations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Martha V. Douthit or Melissa G.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 2, 1994, the Department issued the antidumping duty order 
on defrost timers from Japan (59 FR 9957). On August 24, 1994, the 
Department suspended the antidumping duty investigations on color 
negative photo paper and chemical components from Japan and from the 
Netherlands (59 FR 43547, 43539, respectively). Pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the 
Department initiated sunset reviews of this order and these suspended 
investigations by publishing notice of the initiations in the Federal 
Register, December 1, 1999 (64 FR 67247). 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 the sunset reviews on this order and these suspended 
investigations.
    No domestic interested parties in the sunset review on this order 
and these suspended investigations responded to the notice of 
initiation by the December 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, December 16, 
1999, we are revoking this antidumping order and terminating these 
suspended antidumping investigations.

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 these suspended 
investigations and will conduct administrative reviews of subject 
merchandise entered prior to the effective date of revocation in 
response to appropriately filed request for review.

    Dated: February 10, 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
