AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

ACTION: Notice of revocation of antidumping duty order: nitrile rubber
from Japan.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act''), the United States International Trade Commission
(``the Commission'') determined that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on nitrile rubber from Japan is not likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (64 FR 51557
(September 23, 1999)). Therefore, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1), the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') is revoking the antidumping duty order on nitrile rubber
from Japan. Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.222(i)(2) the effective date of revocation is January 1, 2000.

section 751(c) of the Act. As a result of the review, the Department
found that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead
to continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the Commission of
the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail were the order to be
revoked (see Final Results of Expedited Sunset Review: Nitrile Rubber
From Japan, 64 FR 42668 (August 5, 1999).
On September 23, 1999, the Commission determined, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on nitrile rubber from Japan would not likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (see Nitrile Rubber
