Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Revocation of Antidumping Finding.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is notifying the

public of its revocation of the antidumping finding on dry cleaning

machinery from Germany because it is no longer of any interest to

domestic interested parties.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 20, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Art DuBois or Michael Panfeld, Office

of Antidumping Compliance, Import Administration, International Trade

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department may revoke an antidumping finding if the Secretary

concludes that the finding is no longer of any interest to domestic

interested parties. We conclude that there is no interest in an

antidumping finding when no interested party has requested an

administrative review for five consecutive review periods and when no

domestic interested party objects to revocation (19 CFR

353.25(d)(4)(iii)).

On November 1, 1995, the Department published in the Federal

Register (55541) its notice of intent to revoke the antidumping finding

on dry cleaning machinery from Germany (November 8, 1972).

Additionally, as required by 19 CFR 353.25(d)(4)(ii), the Department

served written notice of its intent to revoke this antidumping finding

on each domestic interested party on the service list. Domestic

interested parties who might object to the revocation were provided the

opportunity to submit their comments not later than the last day of the

anniversary month.

In this case, we received no requests for review for five

consecutive review periods. Furthermore, no domestic interested party,

as defined under 353.2(k)(3), (k)(4), (k)(5), or (k)(6) of the

Department's regulations, has expressed opposition to revocation. Based

on these facts, we have concluded that the antidumping finding on dry

cleaning machinery from Germany is no longer of any interest to

interested parties. Accordingly, we are revoking this antidumping

finding in accordance with 19 CFR 353.25(d)(4)(iii).

Scope of the Order

Imports covered by the revocation are shipments of dry cleaning

machinery from Germany. This merchandise is currently classifiable

under Harmonized Tariff Schedules (HTS) item number 8456.10.00.00. The

HTS number is provided for convenience and customs purposes. The

written description remains dispositive.

This revocation applies to all unliquidated entries of dry cleaning

machinery from Germany entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after November 1. Entries made during the period

November 1, 1994, through October 31, 1995, will be subject to

automatic assessment in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(e). The

Department will instruct the Customs Service to proceed with

liquidation of all unliquidated entries of this merchandise entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 1, 1995

without regard to antidumping duties, and to refund any estimated

antidumping duties collected with respect to those entries. This notice

is in accordance with 19 CFR 353.25(d).

Dated: December 13, 1995.

Joseph A. Spetrini,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Compliance.
