of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The Department
conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of this finding. As a
result of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 1, 2009, the Department published the notice of initiation
of the sunset review of the antidumping duty finding on PSP Tape from
Italy pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Five-
Year Sunset Review, 74 FR 20286 (May 1, 2009). The Department received
a Notice of Intent to Participate on behalf of 3M Company (3M), a
domestic producer of PSP Tape, within the deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). 3M claimed interested party status, under section
771(9)(C) of the Act, as a producer of a domestic like product in the
United States. We received a complete substantive response from 3M
within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). The
Department did not receive substantive responses from respondent
interested parties. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted an
expedited (120-day) sunset review of this finding.
