Industrial Belts from Germany, Italy, Singapore, and Japan; Corrected Final Results of Expedited Sunset Reviews

AGENCY:

Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

ACTION:

Notice of correction to final results of expedited sunset reviews: industrial belts from Germany, Italy, Singapore, and Japan.

SUMMARY:

On December 30, 1999, the Department of Commerce (“the Department”) published in the Federal Register (64 FR 73511) the final results of the June 1999 sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on industrial belts from Germany, Italy, Singapore, and Japan. Subsequent to the publication of the final results, we identified an inadvertent error in the “Scope” section of the notice. Therefore, we are correcting and clarifying this error.

On page 73511, the error lies in the following sentence: “The merchandise covered by the antidumping duty orders on Germany and Japan includes industrial belts other than V-belts and synchronous belts used for power transmission, in part or wholly of rubber or plastic, and containing textile fiber (including glass fiber) or steel wire, cord or strand, and whether in endless (i.e. closed loops) belts, or in belting lengths or links from Germany and Japan.” This sentence should be replaced with: “The merchandise covered by the antidumping duty order on Germany includes industrial belts, other than V-belts and synchronous belts used for power transmission, in part or wholly of rubber or plastic, and containing textile fiber (including glass fiber) or steel wire, cord or strand, and whether in endless (i.e. closed loops) belts, or in belting lengths or links.

Further, we are inserting the following sentence, which was inadvertently left out: “The antidumping duty order on imports from Japan covers industrial V-belts and synchronous belts and other industrial belts, in part or wholly of rubber or plastic, and containing textile fiber (including glass fiber) or steel wire, cord or strand, and whether in endless (i.e., closed loops) belts, or in belting in lengths or links.”

EFFECTIVE DATE:
