SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On December 3, 1987, the Department issued the antidumping duty

order on stainless steel hollow products from Sweden (52 FR

45985).1 Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended (``the Act''), the Department initiated sunset reviews

of this order by publishing notice of the initiation in the Federal

Register (64 FR 35588, July 1, 1999). In addition, as a courtesy to

interested parties, the Department sent letters, via certified and

registered mail, to each party listed on the Department's most current

service list for this proceeding to inform them of the automatic

initiation of the sunset review on stainless steel hollow products from

Sweden.

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

\1\ On November 5, 1992, the Department amended the antidumping

duty order to include welded stainless steel hollow products from

Sweden in the scope of the order (57 FR 52761). On August 16, 1995,

the Department revoked this order with respect to seamless stainless

steel hollow products from Sweden (60 FR 42529). The order remains

in effect for welded stainless steel hollow products from Sweden.

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

No domestic interested party in the sunset review of this order

responded to the notice of initiation by the July 16, 1999, deadline

(see section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of Procedures for Conducting Five-year

(``Sunset'') Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, 63

FR 13520 (March 20, 1998) (``Sunset Regulations'')).

Determination To Revoke

Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and section

351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3) of the Sunset Regulations, if no domestic

interested party responds to the notice of initiation, the Department

shall issue a final determination, within 90 days after the initiation

of the review, revoking the finding or order or terminating the

suspended investigation. Because no domestic interested party responded

to the notice of initiation by the applicable deadline, July 16, 1999,

we are revoking this antidumping duty order.

Effective Date of Revocation and Termination

Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act, the Department

will instruct the United States Customs Service to terminate the

suspension of liquidation of the merchandise subject to this order

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after January 1, 2000.

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.

Dated: August 26, 1999.

Barnard T. Carreau,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
