Spain

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Revocation of antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate
from Spain.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act''), the International Trade Commission (``the
Commission''), determined that revocation of the antidumping duty order
on potassium permanganate from Spain would not be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (64 FR 60225
(November 4, 1999)). Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(4), the
Department is publishing notice of the revocation of the antidumping
duty order on potassium permanganate from Spain. 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.

Effective Date: January 1, 2000.

Background

On November 2, 1998, the Department initiated, and the Commission
instituted, a sunset review (63 FR 58709 and 63 FR 58765, respectively)
of the antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate from Spain
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. As a result of this 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 Reviews:
Potassium Permanganate from Spain, 64 FR 16907 (April 7, 1999)).
On November 4, 1999, the Commission determined, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on
potassium permanganate from Spain would not be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (see Potassium
Permanganate from China and Spain, 64 FR 60225 (November 4, 1999), and
USITC Pub. 3245, Inv. Nos. 731-TA-125-126 (October 1999)).

permanganate from Spain, an inorganic chemical produced in free-
flowing, technical, and pharmaceutical grades.1 Potassium

Act, is revoking the antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate
from Spain. Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR
