[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 196 (Thursday, October 9, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 52684] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-26850] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-570-001] Potassium Permanganate From the People's Republic of China; Notice of Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review AGENCY: Import Administration/International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. ACTION: Notice of rescission of antidumping duty administrative review. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On January 30, 1997, Zunyi Chemical Factory, a producer of potassium permanganate in the People's Republic of China, requested that the Department of Commerce conduct an administrative review of their merchandise for the period January 1, 1996, through December 31, 1996. On March 3, 1997, we published a notice of initiation of this antidumping duty administrative review. This review has now been rescinded as a results because there have been on entries into the United States of subject merchandise during the period of review. EFFECTIVE DATE: October 9, 1997. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Stolz or Thomas Futtner, Office of Antidumping/Countervailing Duty Enforcement, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4474 and (202) 482-3814 respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 31, 1984, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published in the Federal Register (49 FR 3898) the antidumping duty order on potassium permanganate from the People's Republic of China (PRC). On January 30, 1997, Zunyi Chemical Factory (Zunyi), a producer of the subject merchandise, requested that the Department conduct an administrative review for the period January 1, 1996, through December 31, 1996, in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(a). On March 3, 1997, we published a notice of initiation (62 FR 9413) of this antidumping duty administrative review. Subsequently, Zunyi reported that it had made no shipments of the subject merchandise during the period of review (POR). We verified this information with the U.S. Customs Service. Because the only firm for which a review was requested made no entries into the Customs territory of the United States during the POR, the Department is rescinding this review. Moreover, since Zunyi has never demonstrated that it is an exporter entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate for sales of the subject merchandise will continue to be the rate established for exporters of such merchandise or, if Zunyi is the exporter, the PRC-wide rate from the most recently completed administrative review. This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 353.22 (1996). Dated: October 3, 1997. Richard W. Moreland, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group II, Import Administration. [FR Doc. 97-26850 Filed 10-8-97; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-DS-M
