Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order: Sugar and Syrups From 
Canada

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of revocation of antidumping duty order: Sugar and syrup 
from Canada.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act from 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), the United States International Trade Commission 
(``the Commission'') determined that revocation of the antidumping duty 
order on sugar and syrups from Canada is not likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time (64 FR 54355 
(October 6, 1999)). Therefore, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(iii), the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') is publishing notice of the revocation of the antidumping 
duty order on sugar and syrups from Canada. Pursuant to section 
751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2), the effective 
date of revocation is January 1, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott E. Smith or Melissa G. Skinner, 
Office of Policy for Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000.

Background

    On October 1, 1998, the Department initiated, and the Commission 
instituted, a sunset review (63 FR 52683 and 63 FR 52759, respectively) 
of the antidumping duty order on sugar and syrups from Canada pursuant 
to section 751(c) of the Act. As a result of the review, the Department 
found that revocation of the antidumping duty order would likely lead 
to continuation or recurrence of dumping and notified the Commission of 
the magnitude of the margin likely to prevail were the order to be 
revoked (see Final Results of Full Sunset Review: Sugar and Syrups from 
Canada, 64 FR 48326 (September 3, 1999)).
    On October 6, 1999, the Commission determined, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty order on 
sugar and syrups would not be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States 
within a reasonably foreseeable time (see Sugar From the European 
Union; Sugar From Belgium, France, and Germany; and Sugar and Syrups 
From Canada, 64 FR 54355 (October 6, 1999), and USITC Pub. 3238, Inv. 
Nos. 104-TAA-7, AA1921-198-200, and 731-TA-3 (September 1999)).

Determination

    As a result of the determination by the Commission that revocation 
of this antidumping duty order is not likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States, the 
Department, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, will revoke the 
antidumping duty order on sugar and syrups from Canada. Pursuant to 
section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2), this
