Background
The Department published
antidumping duty and countervailing
duty orders on honey from Argentina on
December 10, 2001.2 In the first sunset
reviews, the Department and the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
determined that continuation of the
orders was warranted.3
On July 2, 2012, the Department
initiated the current sunset reviews
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and
19 CFR 351.218. See Initiation Notice.
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 has determined that no
domestic interested party intends to
participate in the sunset reviews. See 19
CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(A). On July 22,
2012, the Department notified the ITC in
writing that we intended to revoke the
antidumping duty and countervailing
duty orders on honey from Argentina.
See 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(iii)(B)(2).

Background
Title V of the Trade and Development
Act of 2000 (the Act) created two tariff
rate quotas (TRQs), providing for
temporary reductions in the import
duties on limited quantities of two
categories of worsted wool fabrics
suitable for use in making suits, suittype jackets, or trousers: (1) For worsted
wool fabric with average fiber diameters
greater than 18.5 microns (Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS) heading 9902.51.11); and (2) for
worsted wool fabric with average fiber
diameters of 18.5 microns or less (HTS
heading 9902.51.12). On August 6, 2002,
President Bush signed into law the
Trade Act of 2002, which includes
several amendments to Title V of the
Act. On December 3, 2004, the Act was
further amended pursuant to the
Miscellaneous Trade Act of 2004, Public
Law 108–429, by increasing the TRQ for
worsted wool fabric with average fiber
diameters greater than 18.5 microns,
HTS 9902.51.11, to an annual total level
of 5.5 million square meters, and
extending it through 2007, and
increasing the TRQ for average fiber
diameters of 18.5 microns or less, HTS
9902.51.15 (previously 9902.51.12), to
an annual total level of 5 million square
meters and extending it through 2006.
On August 17, 2006 the Act was further
amended pursuant to the Pension
Protection Act of 2006, Public Law 109–
280, which extended both TRQs,
9902.51.11 and 9902.51.15, through
2009. The Senate-passed Emergency
Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
extended the TRQ for both HTS
numbers through 2014.
The Act requires that the TRQs be
allocated to persons who cut and sew
men’s and boys’ worsted wool suits,
suit-type jackets and trousers in the
United States. On October 24, 2005, the
