AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), the International Trade Commission (ITC) determined 
that revocation of the antidumping duty order on top-of-the-stove 
stainless steel cooking ware (cooking ware) from Taiwan would not be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an 
industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. See 
Investigations Nos. 731-TA-298 and 299 (Second Review); Investigations 
Nos. 701-TA-267 and 268 and 731-TA-304 and 305 (Second Review); 
Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware From China and Taiwan; Top-of-the-Stove 
Stainless Steel Cooking Ware From Korea and Taiwan, 70 FR 67740 
(November 8, 2005) (ITC Determination). Therefore, pursuant to section 
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(iii), the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) is revoking the antidumping duty order on 
cooking ware from Taiwan. Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of revocation of 
the antidumping duty order is April 18, 2005, the fifth anniversary of 
the date of publication in the Federal Register of the determination to 
continue the order.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 1, 2005, the Department and the ITC initiated sunset 
reviews of the antidumping duty order on cooking ware from Taiwan 
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Five-year 
(``Sunset'') Reviews, 70 FR 9919 (March 1, 2005). As a result of its 
review, the Department found that revocation of the antidumping duty 
order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, and 
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail were 
the order revoked. See Top-of-the-Stove Stainless Steel Cooking Ware 
from the Republic of Korea and Taiwan; Final Results of the Expedited 
Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders, 70 FR 56443 (September 
27, 2005).
    On October 27, 2005, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) 
of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on cooking 
ware from Taiwan would not likely lead to continuation or recurrence of 
material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably 
foreseeable time. See USITC Publication 3808 (October 2005) and ITC 
Determination.

Determination

    As a result of the determination by the ITC that revocation of the

antidumping duty order on cooking ware from Taiwan. Pursuant to section 
751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), revocation is 
effective April 18, 2005, the fifth anniversary of the date of the

United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to discontinue the
