SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the ``Act''), are references to the provisions 
effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to 
the Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``URAA''). In addition, 
unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department of 
Commerce's (``Department'') regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (2001).

Background

    On February 25, 1997, the Department issued the antidumping duty 
orders on dinnerware from Indonesia, China, and Taiwan, and amended 
final determination of sales at less than fair value on dinnerware from 
Indonesia (62 FR 8426). Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (``the Act'') and 19 CFR 351.218, the Department 
initiated sunset reviews of these orders by publishing a notice of the 
initiation in the Federal Register, January 2, 2002, (67 FR 57). 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 a sunset review of these orders.
    No domestic interested parties in any of these sunset reviews of 
these orders responded to the notice of initiation by the January 17, 
2002, deadline (see 351.218 (d)(1)(i).

Determination to Revoke

    Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), 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, January 17, 2002 
(see 19 CFR 351.218 (d)(1)(i) and 19 CFR 351.218 (e)(1)(i)(C)(1)) of 
the Sunset Regulations)), we are revoking these antidumping duty 
orders.

Effective Date of Revocation

    In accordance with sections 751(c)(3)(A) and 751(d)(2) of the Act, 
and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department will instruct the Customs 
Service to terminate the suspension of liquidation of the merchandise 
subject to these orders entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or 
after February 25, 2002. Entries of subject merchandise prior to the 
effective date of revocation will continue to be subject to suspension 
of liquidation and antidumping/countervailing duty deposit 
requirements. The Department will complete any pending administrative 
reviews of 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: February 12, 2002.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
