RE: REVOCATION OF ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON HIGH-TENACITY
RAYON FILAMENT YARN FROM GERMANY (A-428-810)


1. AS A RESULT OF A NOTIFICATION FROM THE PETITIONER, THE NORTH
AMERICAN RAYON CORPORATION, THAT IT IS NO LONGER INTERESTED
IN THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON HIGH-TENACITY RAYON
FILAMENT YARN FROM GERMANY, THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE HAS
REVOKED THIS ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER AND PUBLISHED THE
REVOCATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER ON MAY 30, 1997 (62 FR
29329).

2. THE U.S. CUSTOMS SERVICE (CUSTOMS) IS DIRECTED TO TERMINATE
THE SUSPENSION OF LIQUIDATION FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF HIGH-
TENACITY RAYON FILAMENT ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN FROM
WAREHOUSE, FOR CONSUMPTION ON OR AFTER JUNE 1, 1995, WHICH
IS THE EFFECTIVE DATE THAT THE DEPARTMENT HAS DETERMINED,
AND TO LIQUIDATE SUSPENDED ENTRY SUMMARIES WITHOUT REGARD TO
ANTIDUMPING DUTIES.

3. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY CUSTOMS ON ENTRIES
OF THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION
778 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930. SECTION 778 REQUIRES THAT
CUSTOMS PAY INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENTS, OR ASSESS INTEREST ON

NOT APPLICABLE TO CASH BONDS POSTED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING
DUTIES BEFORE THE DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE ANTIDUMPING
DUTY ORDER. INTEREST SHALL BE CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF
PAYMENT OF ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES THROUGH THE DATE OF
LIQUIDATION. THE RATE AT WHICH SUCH INTEREST IS PAYABLE IS
THE RATE IN EFFECT UNDER SECTION 6621 OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE OF 1954 FOR SUCH PERIOD.
