SUMMARY: On August 1, 2006, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated a sunset review

International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
determined that revocation of this order
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. Therefore, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.222(i)(1)(iii), the Department is
revoking the AD order on rebar from
South Korea.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 7, 2006.

Mission Description
Secretary of Commerce Carlos M.
Gutierrez will lead a senior-level U.S.
business delegation to Hanoi and Ho
Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from
November 4–8, 2007, to promote U.S.
exports to Vietnam’s leading industry
sectors. The mission will focus on
assisting U.S. companies doing business
with Vietnam increase their current
level of exports as well as helping U.S.
companies that are experienced
exporters enter the Vietnamese market
for the first time. The mission will help
participating firms gain market
information, make business and
government contacts, solidify business
strategies, and advance specific projects,
towards the goal of helping U.S. firms
expand their exports to Vietnam. The
mission will include business-tobusiness matchmaking appointments
with local companies, as well as
meetings with key government officials,
and American and local chambers of
commerce. The mission will
additionally provide a platform for
policy and commercial issues—
including transparency, rule of law,
trading/distribution rights and
intellectual-property rights protection—
that U.S. companies face in the
Vietnamese market. The delegation will
be comprised of U.S. firms representing
a cross section of U.S. industries with
commercial interests in Vietnam.
Senior representatives of the U.S.
Trade Development Agency (USTDA),
the Export-Import Bank of the United
States (Ex-Im), and the Overseas Private
Investment Corporation (OPIC) will be
invited to participate (as appropriate), to
provide information and counseling on
their programs as they relate to the
Vietnamese market.
Commercial Setting
With a GDP of $61 billion and a
young population of 84 million,
Vietnam is one of the fastest growing
economies in Asia (8.2% in 2006) and
the newest member of the World Trade
Organization (WTO) (January 11, 2007).
Since the signing of the U.S.-Vietnam
Bilateral Trade Agreement in 2001, twoway trade has increased from about $1.5
billion (2001) to $9.7 billion (2006).
Total U.S. merchandise exports to
Vietnam in 2006 were $1.1 billion. Yearto-date (through May 2007) U.S. exports
have grown 65.1% over last year.
Industrial production continues to
grow at 14–15% per annum, as the
country follows an increasingly
sophisticated foreign investment- and
export-led growth strategy in such
industries as agriculture and
aquaculture, furniture, textiles and now
