on pure magnesium from Russia (65 FR 17484) pursuant to section 751(c) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). Because no

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 12, 1995, the Department issued the antidumping duty order 
on pure magnesium from Russia (60 FR 25691) pursuant to section 736(a) 
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). The Department 
initiated a sunset review of this order by publishing a notice of the 
initiation in the Federal Register, April 3, 2000 (65 FR 17484). 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 this order.
    No domestic interested parties responded to the notice of 
initiation by the April 18, 2000 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 order. Because no domestic interested party 
responded to the notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, April 
18, 2000, we are revoking this antidumping duty order.

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 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after January 1, 2000.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: June 30, 2000.
Troy H. Cribb,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
