AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On July 2, 2012, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated the second five-year (``sunset'') review of the 
antidumping duty order on honey from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC'') pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act'').\1\ On the basis of a notice of intent to 
participate and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of the 
domestic interested parties, as well as a lack of response from

sunset review of the antidumping duty order, pursuant to section 
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As a result 
of this sunset review, the Department finds that revocation of the

continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the 
``Final Results of Review'' section of this notice.
