Sunset Review and Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On October 1, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated the third sunset review of the antidumping duty
order on porcelain-on-steel cooking ware (POS cooking ware) from Taiwan
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), and 19 CFR 351.218(c). See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'')
Review, 75 FR 60731 (October 1, 2010) (Initiation Notice). Because no
domestic interested party responded to the sunset review notice of
initiation by the applicable deadline, the Department is revoking the
antidumping duty order on POS cooking ware from Taiwan.
DATES: Effective Date: November 22, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to this antidumping duty order is
porcelain-on-steel cooking ware from Taiwan that does not have self-
contained electric heating elements. All of the foregoing are
constructed of steel and are enameled or glazed with vitreous glasses.
Kitchenware and teakettles are not subject to the order. The
merchandise is currently classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) number 7323.94.00. HTSUS item
numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written
description of the scope remains dispositive.
Background
On December 2, 1986, the Department published, in the Federal
Register, the antidumping duty order on POS cooking ware from Taiwan.
See Antidumping Duty Order; Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware from
Taiwan, 51 FR 43416 (December 2, 1986). In two subsequent sunset
reviews, based on affirmative decisions by the Department and the
International Trade Commission, the antidumping duty order on POS
cooking ware from Taiwan was continued. See Continuation of Antidumping
Duty Orders: Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware From China, Mexico, and
Taiwan, 65 FR 20136 (April 14, 2000); Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware
from the People's Republic of China and Taiwan; Continuation of
Antidumping Duty Orders, 70 FR 70581 (November 22, 2005).
On October 1, 2010, the Department initiated the current sunset
review of the antidumping duty order on POS cooking ware from Taiwan,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation Notice. We
received no response to the notice of initiation from the domestic
industry by the applicable deadline. See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). As a
result, the Department has determined that no domestic interested party
intends to participate in the sunset review. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B). On October 21, 2010, we notified the
International Trade Commission, in writing, that we intend to revoke
the antidumping duty order on POS cooking ware from Taiwan. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(2).
Revocation
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no domestic interested party files a
notice of intent to participate in the sunset review, the Department
shall, within 90 days after the initiation of the review, revoke the
order. Because no domestic interested party filed a timely notice of
intent to participate in this sunset review, the Department finds that
no domestic interested party is participating in this sunset review.
Therefore, we are revoking the antidumping duty order on POS cooking
ware from Taiwan.
Effective Date of Revocation
The effective date of revocation is November 22, 2010, the fifth
anniversary of the date of publication in the Federal Register of the
most recent notice of continuation of the antidumping duty order. See
19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i). 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 intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
terminate the suspension of liquidation of the merchandise subject to
this antidumping duty order entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption, on or after November 22, 2010.
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 the 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.
This five-year (sunset) review and notice are issued and published
in accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: December 21, 2010.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
