SUMMARY: As a result of the
determination by the United States
International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)
that revocation of the existing
antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) order on

Department published the notice of
initiation of the sunset review of the AD
duty order on brake rotors from the PRC
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’).
See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Reviews, 72 FR 35968 (July 2, 2007)
(‘‘Initiation Notice’’). As a result of its
review, the Department found that
revocation of the AD order would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and notified the
ITC of the margins likely to prevail were

from the People’s Republic of China:
Notice of Final Results of Expedited

2008) (‘‘Brake Rotors Final’’).
On May 29, 2008, the ITC determined,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act,
that revocation of the AD order on brake
rotors from the PRC 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. The ITC notified the
Department on June 12, 2008, and
published its decision on June 18, 2008.

Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are brake rotors made of gray cast iron,
whether finished, semifinished, or
unfinished, ranging in diameter from 8
to 16 inches (20.32 to 40.64 centimeters)
and in weight from 8 to 45 pounds (3.63
to 20.41 kilograms). The size parameters
(weight and dimension) of the brake
rotors limit their use to the following
types of motor vehicles: automobiles,
all-terrain vehicles, vans and
recreational vehicles under ‘‘one ton
and a half,’’ and light trucks designated
as ‘‘one ton and a half.’’
Finished brake rotors are those that
are ready for sale and installation
without any further operations. Semifinished rotors are those on which the
surface is not entirely smooth, and have
undergone some drilling. Unfinished
rotors are those which have undergone
some grinding or turning.
These brake rotors are for motor
vehicles, and do not contain in the
casting a logo of an original equipment
manufacturer (‘‘OEM’’) which produces
vehicles sold in the United States (e.g.,
General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Honda,

Background
On January 28, 2008 the Department
of Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’)
published a notice of initiation of an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on honey from
the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’)

merchandise exported by these
companies.
Partial Rescission
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if a party
who requested the review withdraws
the request within ninety days of the
date of publication of notice of initiation
of the requested review.
On April 22, 2008 the Department
extended the deadline for withdrawal of
request for review. The current deadline
is thirty days after the receipt of the last
response to the Department’s initial
antidumping duty questionnaire. The
last questionnaire response was
received on June 2, 2008; thus, the
deadline for withdrawal of request for
review is July 1, 2008. Because the
Petitioners’ withdrawal of requests for
review was timely and no other party
