Stainless Steel Angle From Japan, the Republic of Korea, and 
Spain: Final Results of Sunset Reviews and Revocation of Orders

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On April 3, 2006, the Department of Commerce (Department) 
initiated the sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on 
stainless steel angle from Japan, the Republic of Korea (Korea), and 
Spain (71 FR 16551). Because the domestic interested parties did not 
participate in these sunset reviews, the Department is revoking these 
antidumping duty orders.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 18, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jill Pollack or Brandon Farlander, 
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. 
Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4593 or (202) 482-0182, 
respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 18, 2001, the Department issued antidumping duty orders on 
stainless steel angle from Japan, Korea, and Spain (66 FR 27628). On 
April 3, 2006, the Department initiated sunset reviews of these orders. 
See Initiation of Five-year (Sunset) Reviews, 71 FR 16551 (Apr. 3, 
2006).
    We did not receive a notice of intent to participate from domestic 
interested parties in any of these sunset reviews by the deadline date. 
As a result, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(A), the 
Department determined that no domestic interested party intends to 
participate in the sunset reviews, and on April 24, 2006, we notified 
the International Trade Commission, in writing, that we intended to 
issue final determinations revoking these antidumping duty orders. See 
19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(2).

Scope of the Orders

    For purposes of these orders, the term ``stainless steel angle'' 
includes hot-rolled, whether or not annealed or descaled, stainless 
steel products of equal leg length angled at 90 degrees, that are not 
otherwise advanced. The stainless steel angle subject to these orders 
is currently classifiable under subheadings 7222.40.30.20 and 
7222.40.30.60 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS). Specifically excluded from the scope of these orders is 
stainless steel angle of unequal leg length. Although the HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our 
written description of the scope of these orders is dispositive.

Determination to Revoke

    Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no domestic 
interested party files a notice of intent to participate, the 
Department shall, within 90 days after the initiation of the review, 
issue a final determination revoking the order. Because the domestic 
interested parties did not file a notice of intent to participate in 
these sunset reviews, the Department finds that no domestic interested 
party is participating in these sunset reviews. Therefore, consistent 
with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(i) and section 751(c)(3) of the Act, we are 
revoking these antidumping duty orders. The effective date of 
revocation is May 18, 2006, the fifth anniversary of the date the 
Department published these antidumping duty orders. See 19 CFR 
351.222(i)(2)(i).

Effective Date of Revocation

    Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection to terminate the suspension of liquidation of the 
merchandise subject to these orders entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, on or after May 18, 2006. 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 
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.
    These five-year (sunset) reviews and notice are in accordance with 
sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 9, 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
