Sparklers 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

DATES: Effective Date: December 5, 2010.
SUMMARY: On November 1, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated the third sunset review of the antidumping duty 
order on sparklers 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 18, 1991, the Department issued an 
antidumping duty order on sparklers from the PRC. See Antidumping Duty 
Order: Sparklers From the People's Republic of China, 56 FR 27946 (June 
18, 1991). On December 5, 2005, the Department published its most 
recent continuation of the order. See Continuation of Antidumping Duty 
Order: Sparklers From the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 72425 
(December 5, 2005). On November 1, 2010, the Department initiated the 
current sunset review of this order. See Initiation of Five-Year 
(``Sunset'') Review, 75 FR 67082 (November 1, 2010).
    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 November 22, 2010, we notified the 
International Trade Commission, in writing, that we intend 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 products subject to this order are fireworks each comprising a 
cut-to-length wire, one end of which is coated with a chemical mix that 
emits bright sparks while burning. Sparklers are currently classified 
under subheadings 3604.10.10.00, 3604.10.90.10, and 3604.10.90.50 of 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS''). 
Sparklers were formerly classified under HTSUS subcategory 3604.10.00. 
The Department has reviewed the current categories and has determined 
that sparklers are currently classified in the above subcategories. 
Although 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. 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 December 5, 2010, the fifth anniversary of the date of 
publication in the Federal Register of the most recent notice of 
continuation of this antidumping duty order. See 751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of 
the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i).

Effective Date of Revocation

    Pursuant to sections 751(c)(3)(A) and 751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Act, 
and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department will instruct U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection (``CBP'') to terminate the suspension of 
liquidation of the merchandise subject to this order entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, on or after December 5, 2010. The Department 
will issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of this 
notice. 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 of review.
    This five-year (sunset) review and notice are published in 
accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: January 19, 2011.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
