RE: REVOCATION OF ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON LARGE
ELECTRIC MOTORS FROM JAPAN (A-588-091)


1. BECAUSE WE RECEIVED NO REQUESTS FOR REVIEW FOR FIVE
CONSECUTIVE REVIEW PERIODS AND BECAUSE NO DOMESTIC
INTERESTED PARTY EXPRESSED OPPOSITION TO REVOCATION, THE
DEPARTMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS NO LONGER
INTEREST IN THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON LARGE ELECTRIC
MOTORS FROM JAPAN. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE HAS REVOKED
THIS ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER/FINDING AND PUBLISHED THE
REVOCATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER ON 11/19/96.

2. THEREFORE, CUSTOMS IS DIRECTED TO TERMINATE THE
SUSPENSION OF LIQUIDATION FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF LARGE
ELECTRIC MOTORS MFG/SHIPPED/EXPORTED BY ALL FIRMS
ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN FROM WAREHOUSE, FOR CONSUMPTION ON
OR AFTER 11/19/96, AND TO LIQUIDATE SUSPENDED ENTRY
SUMMARIES WITHOUT REGARD TO ANTIDUMPING DUTIES.

3. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY THE CUSTOMS
SERVICE ON ENTRIES OF THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930.
SECTION 778 REQUIRES THAT CUSTOMS PAY INTEREST ON
OVERPAYMENTS, OR ASSESS INTEREST ON UNDERPAYMENTS, OF THE
REQUIRED AMOUNTS DEPOSITED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING
DUTIES. THE INTEREST PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO
CASH OR BONDS POSTED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BEFORE
THE DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER.
INTEREST SHALL BE CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT OF
ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES THROUGH THE DATE OF
LIQUIDATION. THE RATE AT WHICH SUCH INTEREST IS PAYABLE
IS THE RATE IN EFFECT UNDER SECTION 6621 OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE OF 1954 FOR SUCH PERIOD.

4. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER BY
CUSTOMS OFFICERS, PLEASE CONTACT VIA E-MAIL, THROUGH THE
APPROPRIATE SUPERVISORY CHANNELS, IMPORT OPERATIONS,
ANTIDUMPING/COUNTERVAILING DUTY, USING THE ATTRIBUTE "HQ
OAB." IMPORTING PUBLIC AND INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD
CONTACT ELISABETH URFER AT 202-482-4052, AD/CVD
ENFORCEMENT, IMPORT ADMINISTRATION, INTERNATIONAL TRADE

INFORMATION.
