Roller Chain, Other Than Bicycle From Japan: Initiation and Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review and Intent To Revoke Finding, Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, and Termination of Scope Inquiry

In response to a request from the petitioner, the American Chain Association (``ACA''), the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is initiating a changed circumstances review and issuing this notice of preliminary changed circumstances review results and intent to revoke the antidumping finding on roller chain from Japan. Moreover, because the petitioner is no longer interested in maintaining the finding after April 1, 1997, we have preliminarily determinated to revoke the finding retroactive to this date. In addition, in response to the petitioner's and respondents' withdrawal requests for the ongoing 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 administrative reviews, the Department is rescinding these administrative reviews of the finding. Finally, we are terminating a scope inquiry associated with the 1997-1998 Sugiyama Chain Company, Ltd., administrative review.
