SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 13, 1985, the Department issued an antidumping duty 
order on barbed wire and barbless fencing wire from Argentina. See 
Antidumping Duty Order: Barbed Wire and Barbless Fencing Wire From 
Argentina, 50 FR 46808 (Nov. 13, 1985). On September 20, 2004, the 
Department published its most recent continuation of the order. See 
Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order: Barbed Wire and Barbless 
Fencing Wire From Argentina, 69 FR 56190 (Sep. 20, 2004). On August 3, 
2009, the Department initiated a sunset review of this order. See 
Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Review, 74 FR 38401 (Aug. 3, 
2009).
    We did not receive a notice of intent to participate from domestic 
interested parties in this sunset review 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 review, and on 
August 21, 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)(B)(2).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by this order is barbed wire and barbless 
fencing wire from Argentina, which is currently classifiable under 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item number 
7313.00.00. The HTSUS number is provided for convenience and customs 
purposes. The written product description remains 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. Therefore, consistent 
with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(i) and section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act, we 
are revoking this antidumping duty order. The effective date of 
revocation is September 20, 2009, the fifth anniversary of the date of 
publication in the Federal Register of the most recent notice of 
continuation of this antidumping duty order.

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 issue instructions to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection, 15 days after publication of the notice, 
to terminate the suspension of liquidation of the merchandise subject 
to this order entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after 
September 20, 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 five-year (sunset) review and notice are in accordance with 
sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: September 24, 2009.
John M. Andersen,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
