SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 7, 1997, the North American Rayon Corporation 
(petitioner) requested that the Department conduct a changed 
circumstances administrative review to determine whether to revoke the 
order on high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from Germany (57 FR 29062, 
June 30, 1992). Petitioner states that it has no further interest in 
the order.
    Based on available information and petitioner's affirmative 
statement of no interest, we preliminarily determined, pursuant to 19 
CFR 353.25(d)(2), to conduct a changed circumstances review. 
Consequently, on March 26, 1997, we published a notice of initiation 
and preliminary results of changed circumstances antidumping duty 
administrative review (62 FR 14398), in which we preliminarily 
determined to revoke this order. We gave interested parties an 
opportunity to comment on the preliminary results of this changed 
circumstances review. We received no comments.

Scope of the Review

    The product covered by this administrative review is high-tenacity 
rayon filament yarn from Germany. During the review period, such 
merchandise was classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) 
item number 5403.10.30.40. High-tenacity rayon filament yarn is a 
multifilament single yarn of viscose rayon with a twist of five turns 
or more per meter, having a denier of 1100 or greater, and a tenacity 
greater than 35 centinewtons per tex. The HTS item numbers are provided 
for convenience and Customs purposes. The written description remains 
dispositive as to the scope of the product coverage. This changed 
circumstances administrative review covers all manufacturers/exporters 
of high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from Germany.

Final Results of Review: Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order

    The lack of further interest by domestic interested parties 
constitutes changed circumstances sufficient to warrant revocation of 
this order. See 19 CFR 353.25(d)(1)(i). Therefore, we are revoking the 
order on high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from Germany, in accordance 
with sections 751 (b) and (d) and 782(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 353.25(d)(1)(i). This revocation applies 
to all entries of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after June 1, 1995, consistent with 
petitioner's request.
    The Department will instruct the U.S. Customs Service (Customs) to 
proceed with liquidation, without regard to antidumping duties, of all 
unliquidated entries of high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from Germany 
entered, or withdrawn from ware-house, for consumption on or after June 
1, 1995, in accordance with 19 CFR 353.25(d)(5). The Department will 
further instruct Customs to refund with interest any estimated duties 
collected with respect to unliquidated entries of high-tenacity rayon 
filament yarn entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on 
or after June 1, 1995, in accordance with section 778 of the Act.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written notification of 
the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial 
protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the 
regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This changed circumstances administrative review, revocation of the 
antidumping duty order, and notice are in accordance with sections 751 
(b) and (d) and 782(h) of the Act and sections 353.22(f) and 353.25(d) 
of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: May 22, 1997.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
