Background
On September 15, 1989, and
September 22, 1989, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty order and
countervailing duty order on new steel
rail from Canada. See Antidumping
Duty Order in New Steel Rail, Except
Light Rail, from Canada, 54 FR 38263
(September 15, 1989), Except Light Rail,
from Canada, 54 FR 39032 (September
22, 1989). On February 9, 2000,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4), the
Department published in the Federal
Register its notice of continuation of the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on new steel rail from Canada
following the first sunset review. See
Continuation of Antidumping Duty
Order and Countervailing Duty Order:
New Steel Rail from Canada, 65 FR 6358
(February 9, 2000). On January 3, 2005,
the Department initiated a second
sunset review of these orders pursuant
PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM
to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, (the ‘‘Act’’), and 19
CFR part 351, in general. See Initiation
of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 70 FR
75 (January 3, 2005). 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 a sunset review
of these orders. We received no
response from the domestic industry by
the deadline date. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). As a result, the
Department determined that no
domestic party intends to participate in
the sunset review. On January 27, 2005,
the Department notified the
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
in writing that we intended to issue a
final determination revoking the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders. See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B).
Determination To Revoke
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3),
if no domestic interested parties
respond to the notice of initiation, the
Department shall issue a final
determination, within 90 days after the
initiation of the review, revoking the
order. Because no domestic interested
party filed a notice of intent to
participate or a substantive response,
the Department finds that no domestic
interested party is participating in this
review. Therefore, we are revoking the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on new steel rail from Canada,
effective February 9, 2005, the fifth
anniversary of the date of the
determination to continue the orders,
consistent with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i)
and section 751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Act.
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 to terminate the suspension
of liquidation of the merchandise
subject to these orders entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, on or after
February 9, 2005. Entries of subject
merchandise prior to the effective date
of revocation will continue to be subject
to suspension of liquidation and
antidumping and countervailing duty
deposit requirements. The Department
will complete any pending
administrative reviews of these orders
and will conduct administrative reviews
of subject merchandise entered prior to
the effective date of revocation in
response to appropriately filed requests
for review.
