Automotive Replacement Glass Windshields from the People's 
Republic of China: Final Results of Sunset Review and Revocation of 
Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 1, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated the sunset review of the antidumping duty order 
on automotive replacement glass windshields from the People's Republic 
of China (``PRC''). Because the domestic interested parties did not 
participate in the sunset review, the Department is revoking the 
antidumping duty order.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 4, 2007

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hilary E. Sadler, Esq., or Juanita 
Chen, AD/CVD Operations, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 4, 2002, the Department issued an antidumping duty order 
on automotive replacement glass windshields from the PRC. See 
Antidumping Duty Order: Automotive Replacement Glass Windshields from 
the People's Republic of China, 67 FR 16087 (April 4, 2002). Pursuant 
to section 751(c) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218, the Department 
initiated the sunset review of this order. See Notice of Initiation of 
Five-year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 72 FR 9307 (March 1, 2007). The 
Department did not receive a notice of intent to participate in the 
sunset review from domestic interested parties by the deadline date. 
See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). As a result, the Department determined 
that no domestic party intends to participate in the sunset review. On 
March 21, 2007, the Department notified the International Trade 
Commission of its intent to issue a final determination revoking this 
antidumping duty order.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by this order are automotive replacement glass 
windshields, and parts thereof, whether clear or tinted, whether coated 
or not, and whether or not they include antennas, ceramics, mirror 
buttons or VIN notches, and whether or not they are encapsulated. 
Automotive replacement glass windshields are laminated safety glass 
(i.e., two layers of (typically float) glass with a sheet of clear or 
tinted plastic in between (usually polyvinyl butyral)), which are 
produced and sold for use by automotive glass installation shops to 
replace windshields in automotive vehicles (e.g., passenger cars, light 
trucks, vans, sport utility vehicles, etc.) that are cracked, broken or 
otherwise damaged. Automotive replacement glass windshields subject to 
this order are currently classifiable under subheading 7007.21.10.10 of 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''). 
Specifically excluded from the scope of the order are laminated 
automotive windshields sold for use in original assembly of vehicles. 
While HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes, the written description of the scope of the order 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 responds to the notice of initiation, the 
Department shall issue a final determination revoking the order within 
90 days after the initiation of the review. Because no domestic 
interested party filed a notice of intent to participate or a 
substantive response, the Department finds that no domestic interested 
party is participating in this review and is revoking this antidumping 
duty order. Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of revocation is April 4, 2007 
(i.e., the fifth anniversary of the date of publication in the Federal 
Register of the notice of the antidumping duty order). The Department 
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to discontinue 
suspension of liquidation and collection of cash deposits on entries of 
the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse on or after 
April 4, 2007, the effective date of revocation of the antidumping duty 
order. 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.
    This five-year sunset review and notice are in accordance with 
section
