Certain Color Television Receivers From the People's Republic of 
China: Final Results of Sunset Review and Revocation of Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On May 1, 2009, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
initiated the sunset review of the antidumping duty order on certain 
color television receivers from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). Because the domestic interested parties did not participate 
in this sunset review, the Department is revoking this antidumping duty 
order.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 3, 2009

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Zhulieta Willbrand, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office 4, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-3147.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 3, 2004, the Department issued an antidumping duty order on 
imports of certain color television receivers from the PRC, which was 
amended on June 25, 2004. See Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Color 
Television Receivers From the People's Republic of China, 69 FR 31347 
(June 3, 2004); see also, Notice of Amended Antidumping Duty Order: 
Certain Color Television Receivers from the People's Republic of China, 
69 FR 35583 (June 25, 2004). On May 1, 2009, the Department initiated a 
sunset review on this order. See Initiation of Five-year (``Sunset'') 
Review, 74 FR 20286, 20287 (May 1, 2009).
    We did not receive from domestic interested parties a notice of 
intent to participate in the sunset review. See 19 CFR 
351.218(d)(1)(i). As a result, the Department determined that no 
domestic interested party intends to participate in the sunset review, 
and on May 22, 2009, we notified the International Trade Commission, in 
writing, that we intended to issue a final determination revoking this 
antidumping duty order. See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(A) - (B).

Scope of the Order

    For purposes of the order, the term ``certain color television 
receivers'' includes complete and incomplete direct view or projection 
type cathode ray tube color television receivers, with a video display 
diagonal exceeding 52 centimeters, whether or not combined with video 
recording or reproducing apparatus, which are capable of receiving a 
broadcast television signal and producing a video image. Specifically 
excluded from the order are computer monitors or other video display 
devices that are not capable of receiving a broadcast television 
signal. The color television receivers subject to the order are 
currently classifiable under subheadings 8528.12.2800, 8528.12.3250, 
8528.12.3290, 8528.12.4000, 8528.12.5600, 8528.12.3600, 8528.12.4400, 
8528.12.4800, and 8528.12.5200 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 
United States (``HTSUS''). Although the above HTSUS subheadings are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description 
of the merchandise under 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 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 
this sunset review, the Department finds that no domestic interested 
party is participating in this sunset review. See 19 C.F.R. Sec.  
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(1). Therefore, consistent with 19 CFR 351.222(i), 
we are revoking this antidumping duty order. The effective date of 
revocation is June 3, 2009, the fifth anniversary of the date the 
Department published the antidumping duty order.

Effective Date of Revocation

    Pursuant to sections 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 this order entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
on or after June 3, 2009. 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.
    This notice of final results of five-year (sunset) review and 
revocation is published in accordance with sections 751(c) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 25, 2009.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
