SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Extension of Final Results:
On January 3, 2005, the Department
initiated sunset reviews of the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders on CTL plate from France, India,
Indonesia, Italy, Japan and Korea. See
Initiation of Five-year (Sunset) Reviews,
70 FR 75 (January 3, 2005). Based on
adequate responses from the domestic
interested parties and inadequate
responses from respondent interested
parties, the Department is conducting
expedited sunset reviews to determine
whether revocation of the antidumping
and countervailing duty orders on CTL
plate would lead to the continuation or
recurrence of dumping or a
countervailable subsidy. The
Department’s final results of these
reviews were scheduled for May 3,
2005; however, the Department needs
additional time for its analysis.
In accordance with section
751(c)(5)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’), the Department
may extend the period of time for
making its final determination in a
sunset review by not more than 90 days,
if it determines that the review is
extraordinarily complicated. As set forth
in 751(c)(5)(C), the Department may,
among other reasons, treat a sunset
(i) There are a large number of issues,
(ii) the issues to be considered are
of firms involved. In these proceedings,
one or more of these reasons apply.
Specifically, the sunset reviews of the
four countervailing duty orders on CTL
plate contain a large number of complex
issues, including privatization, directed
credit and section 129 implementation,
while the sunset reviews of the six
antidumping duty orders include
complex issues related to the
the orders were revoked and, in some
instances, involve a large number of
companies. The Department has
determined, pursuant to section
751(c)(5)(C) of the Act that the sunset
reviews of the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders of CTL plate
Japan and Korea are extraordinarily
for the Department to complete its
analysis. Therefore, the Department will
PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703
extend the deadlines in these
proceedings, and, as a result, intends to
issue the final results of the sunset
reviews of the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders of CTL plate
from France, India, Indonesia, Italy,
Japan and Korea on or about August 1,
2005, 90 days from the original
scheduled date of the final results of
these reviews. This notice is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(c)(5)(B) and (C) of the Act.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Notice of Change in Practice
Regarding Upcoming Sunset Reviews
AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION:Notification of Upcoming
Sunset Reviews—Change in Practice.
Every five years, pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), the Department of
Commerce (the Department)
automatically initiates and conducts
reviews to determine whether
revocation of a countervailing or
antidumping duty order or termination
of an investigation suspended under
section 704 or 734 of the Act would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping or a
countervailable subsidy and of material
injury. In conjunction with this activity,
the Department’s practice has been to
notify, in advance, by certified or
registered mail, all persons on the
service list for each proceeding subject
to a sunset review of the approximate
date of publication in the Federal
Register of the automatic initiation of
the sunset review. This notification is
not required by statute but is done as a
service to the international trading
community.
The Department is announcing its
intention to discontinue this practice.
Instead, beginning with sunset reviews
initiated in June 2005, the Department
will provide this advance notification of
upcoming sunset reviews through a
monthly notice published in the Federal
Register. This notice of upcoming
sunset reviews will be published in the
month prior to the month of initiation.
