1. Active–Matrix Liquid Crystal High
Information Content Flat Panel Displays
and Display Glass Therefor: Active–
matrix liquid crystal high information
content flat panel displays (active–
matrix LCD FPDs) are large area, matrix
addressed displays, no greater than four
inches in depth, with a picture element
(pixel) count of 120,000 or greater,
whether complete or incomplete,
assembled or unassembled. Active–
matrix LCF FPDs utilize a thin–film
transistor array to activate liquid crystal
at individual pixel locations. Included
are monochromatic, limited color, and
full color displays used to display text,
graphics, and video. Active–matrix LCD
FPD display glass, whether or not
integrated with additional components,
exclusively dedicated to and designed
for use in active–matrix LCD FPDs, is
defined as processed glass substrates
that incorporate patterned row, column,
or both types of electrodes, and also
typically incorporate a material that
reacts to a change in voltage (i.e., liquid
crystal) and contact pads for
interconnecting drive electronics.
2. Gas Plasma High Information
Content Flat Panel Displays and Display
Glass Therefor:
Gas plasma high information content
flat panel displays (gas plasma FPDs)
are large area, matrix addressed
displays, no greater than four inches in
depth, with a pixel count of 120,000 or
greater, whether complete or
incomplete, assembled or unassembled.
Gas plasma FPDs incorporate a matrix of
electrodes that, when activated, excite a
gaseous compound, typically neon and
argon, causing it to emit light. Included
are monochromatic, limited color, and
full color displays used to display text,
graphics, and video. Gas plasma FPD
display glass, whether or not integrated
with additional components,
exclusively dedicated to and designed
for gas plasma FPDs, is defined as
processed glass substrates that

and display glass therefor (passive–
matrix LCD FPD); segmented flat panel
displays; matrix addressed flat panel
displays with less than 120,000 pixels;
and cathode ray tubes (CRTs). All types
of FPDs described above are currently
classifiable under subheadings 8543,

8541 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
(‘‘HTS’’). Although the HTS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.
Clarification of Scope:
We find that the continued inclusion
in the scope of the antidumping duty
order of display glass is warranted,
given the apparent exclusion dedication
of that subassembly and the fact that it
represents that essential character of an
FPD. The technology used by an FPD is
defined by the technology of the display
glass and, therefore, the basic technical
characteristics of the completed FPD are
also defined by the display glass. In
addition, the selection of the other
components is a function of the display
technology, which is determined by the
type of display glass. See High
Information Content Flat Panel Displays
and Display Glass Therefor From Japan:
Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value, 56 FR 32376 (July 16,
1991).
Background
On September 9, 1991, the
Department published the antidumping
duty order on EL FPDs from Japan in the
Federal Register. See High Information
Content Flat Panel Displays and Display
Glass Therefor From Japan:
Antidumping Duty Order, 56 FR 43741
(September 9, 1991). On April 11, 2000,
PO 00000

the Department published its notice of
continuation of the antidumping duty
order following the first sunset review.
See Continuation of Antidumping Duty
Order; Electroluminescent Flat Panel
Displays from Japan, 65 FR 19360 (April
11, 2000).
The Department initiated a second
sunset review of this order pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended, (the ‘‘Act’’), and 19 CFR
351, in general. See Initiation of Five–
Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 70 FR 9919
(March 1, 2005). As a courtesy to
interested parties, the Department sent
letters, via certified and registered mail,
to each party listed on the Department’s
most current service list for this
proceeding to inform them of the
automatic initiation of a sunset review
of this order. We received no response
from the domestic industry by the
deadline date. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). As a result, the
Department determined that no
domestic party intends to participate in
the sunset review. On March 24, 2005,
the Department notified the
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
in writing that we intended to issue a
final determination revoking the
antidumping duty order. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B).
Determination to Revoke
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3),
if no domestic interested parties
respond to the notice of initiation, the
Department shall issue a final
determination, within 90 days after the
initiation of the review, revoking the
order. Because no domestic interested
party filed a notice of intent to
participate or a substantive response,
the Department finds that no domestic
interested party is participating in this
review. Therefore, we are revoking the
antidumping duty order effective the
fifth anniversary of the date of the
determination to continue the order,
consistent with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i)
and section 751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Act.
Effective Date of Revocation
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(3)(A) and
751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to terminate the suspension
of liquidation of the merchandise
subject to this order entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, on or after
April 11, 2005 (i.e., the fifth anniversary
of the date of the publication of the
continuation of the order in the Federal
Register). Entries of subject
merchandise prior to the effective date
of revocation will continue to be subject

order and will conduct administrative
reviews of subject merchandise entered
prior to the effective date of revocation
in response to appropriately filed
requests for review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are all grades of sebacic acid, a
dicarboxylic acid with the formula
(CH2)8(COOH)2, which include but are
not limited to CP Grade (500 ppm
maximum ash, 25 maximum APHA
color), Purified Grade (1000 ppm
maximum ash, 50 maximum APHA
color), and Nylon Grade (500 ppm
maximum ash, 70 maximum ICV color).
The principle difference between the
grades is the quantity of ash and color.
Sebacic acid contains a minimum of 85
percent dibasic acids of which the
predominant species is the C10 dibasic
acid. Sebacic acid is sold generally as a
free–flowing powder/flake. Sebacic acid
has numerous industrial uses, including
the production of nylon 6/10 (a polymer
used for paintbrush and toothbrush
bristles and paper machine felts),
plasticizers, esters, automotive coolants,
polyamides, polyester castings and
films, inks and adhesives, lubricants,
and polyurethane castings and coatings.
Sebacic acid is currently classifiable
under subheading 2917.13.00.30 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.
Background
On September 1, 1999, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.218(f)(4), the Department
published its notice of continuation of
the antidumping duty order on sebacic
acid from the PRC, following the first
sunset review. See Continuation of
Antidumping Duty Order; Sebacic Acid
from the People’s Republic of China, 64
FR 47766, (September 1, 1999).1 On
April 1, 2004, the Department initiated
the second sunset review of this order
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
and 19 CFR part 351, in general. See
2004 Initiation. As a result of the second
sunset review, the Department found
that revocation of the antidumping
order would likely lead to continuation
or recurrence of dumping and notified
1 The Department normally issues its
continuation of an order within seven days of the
publication of the International Trade
Commission’s sunset determination in the Federal
Register and publishes its continuation notice
immediately thereafter. In this case, the publication
of the continuation notice was delayed. As a result,
the Department explicitly stated that the effective
date of the continuation of the order on sebacic acid
from the PRC was May 26, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The products covered by scope of the antidumping duty order
constitute three classes or kinds of merchandise: (1) active-matrix
liquid crystal high information content flat panel displays and display
glass therefor; (2) gas plasma high information content flat panel
displays and display glass therefor; and (3) electroluminescent high
information content flat panel displays and display glass therefor.
[[Page 32290]]
1. Active-Matrix Liquid Crystal High Information Content Flat Panel
Displays and Display Glass Therefor: Active-matrix liquid crystal high
information content flat panel displays (active-matrix LCD FPDs) are
large area, matrix addressed displays, no greater than four inches in
depth, with a picture element (pixel) count of 120,000 or greater,
whether complete or incomplete, assembled or unassembled. Active-matrix
LCF FPDs utilize a thin-film transistor array to activate liquid
crystal at individual pixel locations. Included are monochromatic,
limited color, and full color displays used to display text, graphics,
and video. Active-matrix LCD FPD display glass, whether or not
integrated with additional components, exclusively dedicated to and
designed for use in active-matrix LCD FPDs, is defined as processed
glass substrates that incorporate patterned row, column, or both types
of electrodes, and also typically incorporate a material that reacts to
a change in voltage (i.e., liquid crystal) and contact pads for
interconnecting drive electronics.
2. Gas Plasma High Information Content Flat Panel Displays and
Display Glass Therefor:
Gas plasma high information content flat panel displays (gas plasma
FPDs) are large area, matrix addressed displays, no greater than four
inches in depth, with a pixel count of 120,000 or greater, whether
complete or incomplete, assembled or unassembled. Gas plasma FPDs
incorporate a matrix of electrodes that, when activated, excite a
gaseous compound, typically neon and argon, causing it to emit light.
Included are monochromatic, limited color, and full color displays used
to display text, graphics, and video. Gas plasma FPD display glass,
whether or not integrated with additional components, exclusively
dedicated to and designed for gas plasma FPDs, is defined as processed
glass substrates that incorporate patterned row, column, or both types
of electrodes, and also typically incorporate a material that reacts to
a change in voltage (i.e., gas plasma) and contact pads for
interconnecting drive electronics.
3. Electroluminescent High Information Content Flat Panel Displays
and Display Glass Therefor: EL FPDs are large area, matrix addressed
displays, no greater than four inches in depth, with a pixel count of
120,000 or greater, whether complete or incomplete, assembled or
unassembled. EL FPDs incorporate a matrix of electrodes that, when
activated, apply an electrical current to a solid compound of
electroluminescent material (i.e., zinc sulfide) causing it to emit
light. Included are monochromatic, limited color, and full color
displays used to display text, graphics, and video. EL FPD displays
glass, whether or not integrated with additional components,
exclusively dedicated to and designed for use in EL FPDs, is defined as
processed glass substrates that incorporate patterned row, column, or
both types of electrodes, and also typically incorporate a material
that reacts to a change in voltage (i.e., phosphor) and contact pads
for interconnecting drive electronics. The following merchandise is
excluded from the scope of these investigations: Passive-matrix liquid
crystal high information content flat panel displays and display glass
therefor (passive-matrix LCD FPD); segmented flat panel displays;
matrix addressed flat panel displays with less than 120,000 pixels; and
cathode ray tubes (CRTs). All types of FPDs described above are
currently classifiable under subheadings 8543, 8803, 9013, 9014,
9017.90.00, 9018, 9022, 9026, 9027, 9030, 9031, 8471.92.30, 8471.92.40,
8473.10.00, 8473.21.00, 8473.30.40, 8442,40.00, 8466, 8517.90.00,
8528.10.80, 8529.90.00, 8531.20.00, 8531.90.00, and 8541 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (``HTS''). Although the HTS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description
of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive.
Clarification of Scope:
We find that the continued inclusion in the scope of the
antidumping duty order of display glass is warranted, given the
apparent exclusion dedication of that subassembly and the fact that it
represents that essential character of an FPD. The technology used by
an FPD is defined by the technology of the display glass and,
therefore, the basic technical characteristics of the completed FPD are
also defined by the display glass. In addition, the selection of the
other components is a function of the display technology, which is
determined by the type of display glass. See High Information Content
Flat Panel Displays and Display Glass Therefor From Japan: Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 56 FR 32376 (July 16,
1991).
Background
On September 9, 1991, the Department published the antidumping duty
order on EL FPDs from Japan in the Federal Register. See High
Information Content Flat Panel Displays and Display Glass Therefor From
Japan: Antidumping Duty Order, 56 FR 43741 (September 9, 1991). On
April 11, 2000, the Department published its notice of continuation of
the antidumping duty order following the first sunset review. See
Continuation of Antidumping Duty Order; Electroluminescent Flat Panel
Displays from Japan, 65 FR 19360 (April 11, 2000).
The Department initiated a second sunset review of this order
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the
``Act''), and 19 CFR 351, in general. See Initiation of Five-Year
(``Sunset'') Review, 70 FR 9919 (March 1, 2005). As a courtesy to
interested parties, the Department sent letters, via certified and
registered mail, to each party listed on the Department's most current
service list for this proceeding to inform them of the automatic
initiation of a sunset review of this order. We received no response
from the domestic industry by the deadline date. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i). As a result, the Department determined that no
domestic party intends to participate in the sunset review. On March
24, 2005, the Department notified the International Trade Commission
(``ITC'') in writing that we intended to issue a final determination
revoking the antidumping duty order. See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B).
Determination to Revoke
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no domestic interested parties respond to
the notice of initiation, the Department shall issue a final
determination, within 90 days after the initiation of the review,
revoking the order. Because no domestic interested party filed a notice
of intent to participate or a substantive response, the Department
finds that no domestic interested party is participating in this
review. Therefore, we are revoking the antidumping duty order effective
the fifth anniversary of the date of the determination to continue the
order, consistent with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i) and section
751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Act.
Effective Date of Revocation
Pursuant to sections 751(c)(3)(A) and 751(c)(6)(A)(iii) of the Act,
and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to terminate the suspension of liquidation of the
merchandise subject to this order entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
on or after April 11, 2005 (i.e., the fifth anniversary of the date of
the publication of the continuation of the order in the Federal
Register). Entries of subject merchandise prior to the effective date
of revocation will continue to be subject
[[Page 32291]]
to suspension of liquidation and antidumping and deposit requirements.
The Department will complete any pending administrative reviews of this
order and will conduct administrative reviews of subject merchandise
entered prior to the effective date of revocation in response to
appropriately filed requests for review.
This five-year (``sunset'') review and this notice are in
accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: May 25, 2005.
Holly A. Kuga,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
