Polychloroprene Rubber from Japan:
Final Results of Sunset Review and
Revocation of Finding
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On July 9, 2010, the
Department of Commerce (‘‘the
Department’’) initiated the sunset review
of the antidumping finding on
polychloroprene rubber from Japan.
Because the domestic interested parties
did not participate in this sunset review,
the Department is revoking this
antidumping finding.
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 4, 2010

provided for convenience and customs
purpose. The Department’s written
description of the scope remains
dispositive.
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the
Department intends to issue instructions
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection,
to terminate the suspension of
liquidation of the merchandise subject
to this finding entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, on or after August 4,
2010. Entries of subject merchandise
prior to the effective date of revocation
will continue to be subject to
suspension of liquidation and
antidumping duty deposit requirements.
The Department will complete any
pending administrative reviews of this
finding and will conduct administrative
reviews of subject merchandise entered
prior to the effective date of revocation
in response to appropriately filed
requests of review.
Imports covered by the finding are
shipments of polychloroprene rubber,
an oil resistant synthetic rubber also
known as polymerized chlorobutadiene
or neoprene, currently classifiable under
items 4002.41.00, 4002.49.00,
4003.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’).1 HTSUS item numbers are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 6, 1973, the Department of
the Treasury published in the Federal
Register the antidumping finding on
polychloroprene rubber from Japan. See
Polychloroprene Rubber from Japan, 38
FR 33593 (December 6, 1973). On
August 4, 2005, the Department
published its most recent continuation
of the finding. See Continuation of
Antidumping Duty Order;
Polychloroprene Rubber from Japan, 70
FR 44893 (August 4, 2005). On July 9,
2010, the Department initiated a sunset
review of this finding. See Initiation of
Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 75 FR
39494 (July 9, 2010).
The domestic interested parties did
not file a notice of intent to participate
in this sunset review. As a result, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(A), the Department
determined that no domestic interested
party intends to participate in the sunset
review and on July 29, 2010 we notified
the International Trade Commission, in
writing, that we intended to revoke this
antidumping finding. See 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(2).
Scope of the Finding:
365 days after the last day of the
anniversary month of an order for which
a review is requested.
The Department finds that it is not
practicable to complete the preliminary
results of this review within the original
time frame because comments from
interested parties have necessitated the
solicitation and subsequent analysis of
additional information from the
respondent, New–Tec Integration
(Xiamen) Co., Ltd. This additional
information covers a wide range of
issues and is extensive. The Department
requires additional time to gather and
analyze the additional information.
Thus, the Department finds it is not
practicable to complete this review
within the original time limit (i.e.,
September 9, 2010). Accordingly, the
Department is extending the time limit
for completion of the preliminary
results of this administrative review by
120 days (i.e., until January 7, 2011), in
accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). We
intend to issue the final results no later
than 120 days after publication of the
preliminary results notice.
This extension is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(3)(A) and 777(i) of the Act.

Changed Circumstances Review and Determination
to Revoke Finding in Part, 71 FR 57470 (September
29, 2006), in which the Department determined to
revoke the antidumping finding with respect to the
following products: (1) aqueous dispersions of
polychloroprenes that are dipolymers of
chloroprene and methacrylic acid, where the
dispersion has a pH of 8 or lower (this category is
limited to aqueous dispersions of these polymers
and does not include aqueous dispersions of these
polychloroprenes that contain comonomers other
than methacrylic acid); (2) aqueous dispersions of
polychloroprenes that are dipolymers of
chloroprene and 2,3-dichlorobutadiene-1,3
modified with xanthogen disulfides, where the
dispersion has a solids content of greater than 59
percent (this category is limited to aqueous
dispersions of these polymers and does not include
aqueous dispersions of polychloroprenes that
contain comonomers other than 2,3dichlorobutadiene-1,3); and (3) solid
polychloroprenes that are dipolymers of

Determination to Revoke:
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’) and 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no domestic
interested party files a notice of intent
to participate, the Department shall,
within 90 days after the initiation of the
review, issue a final determination
revoking the finding. Because the
domestic interested parties did not file
a notice of intent to participate in this
sunset review, the Department finds that
no domestic interested party is
participating in this sunset review.
Therefore, consistent with 19 CFR
351.222(i)(1)(i) and section 751(c)(3)(A)
of the Act, we are revoking this
antidumping finding. The effective date
of revocation is August 4, 2010, the fifth
anniversary of the date of publication in
the Federal Register of the most recent
notice of continuation of this
antidumping duty finding.
Termination of Suspension of
Liquidation:
This five-year (sunset) review and
notice are published in accordance with
sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

chlorobutadiene or neoprene, currently classifiable under items
4002.41.00, 4002.49.00, 4003.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

\1\ See Polychloroprene Rubber from Japan: Final Changed
Circumstances Review and Determination to Revoke Finding in Part, 71
FR 57470 (September 29, 2006), in which the Department determined to
revoke the antidumping finding with respect to the following
products: (1) aqueous dispersions of polychloroprenes that are
dipolymers of chloroprene and methacrylic acid, where the dispersion
has a pH of 8 or lower (this category is limited to aqueous
dispersions of these polymers and does not include aqueous
dispersions of these polychloroprenes that contain comonomers other

polychloroprenes that are dipolymers of chloroprene and 2,3-
dichlorobutadiene-1,3 having a 2,3-dichlorobutadiene-1,3 content of
15 percent or greater (this category is limited to polychloroprenes
in solid form and does not include aqueous dispersions). See also
Notice of Scope Rulings, 74 FR 14521 (March 31, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Determination to Revoke:
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act'') and 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(3), if no
domestic interested party files a notice of intent to participate, the
Department shall, within 90 days after the initiation of the review,
issue a final determination revoking the finding. Because the domestic
interested parties did not file a notice of intent to participate in
this sunset review, the Department finds that no domestic interested
party is participating in this sunset review. Therefore, consistent
with 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1)(i) and section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act, we
are revoking this antidumping finding. The effective date of revocation
is August 4, 2010, the fifth anniversary of the date of publication in
the Federal Register of the most recent notice of continuation of this
antidumping duty finding.
Termination of Suspension of Liquidation:
Pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.222(i)(2)(i), the Department intends to issue instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, to terminate the suspension of
liquidation of the merchandise subject to this finding entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, on or after August 4, 2010. Entries of
subject merchandise prior to the effective date of revocation will
continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and antidumping
duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete any pending
administrative reviews of this finding and will conduct administrative
reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the effective date of
revocation in response to appropriately filed requests of review.
This five-year (sunset) review and notice are published in
accordance with sections 751(c) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 17, 2010.
