Amended Antidumping Duty Order: Calcium Aluminate Flux From

France

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 14, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Irene Darzenta or Kate Johnson, Office

of Antidumping Investigations, Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and

Amendment of Antidumping Duty Order

On June 13, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the Department)

published in the Federal Register (59 FR 30337) the Antidumping Duty

Order on Calcium Aluminate Flux from France.

In this order, the Department inadvertently stated that the

International Trade Commission (ITC) notified the Department that

imports of CA flux from France materially injure a U.S. industry. The

ITC had found, pursuant to section 735(b)(4)(B) of the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended (the Act), that an industry in the United States is

threatened with material injury, but that material injury would not

have been found but for the suspension of liquidation of entries of the

merchandise under investigation.

Therefore, we are amending the suspension of liquidation provisions

of the order in accordance with section 736(b)(2) of the Act.

Antidumping Duty Order

In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, on March 25, 1994,

the Department published in the Federal Register its final

determination that calcium aluminate (CA) flux from France is being

sold at less than fair value (59 FR 14136). We amended our final

determination on May 9, 1994 (see 59 FR 25446, May 16, 1994) to correct

a clerical error. On June 6, 1994, in accordance with section 735(d) of

the Act, the ITC notified the Department that an industry in the United

States is threatened with material injury by reason of such imports.

The ITC further determined, pursuant to section 735(b)(4)(B) of the

Act, that it would not have found material injury, but for the

suspension of liquidation of entries of CA flux from France.

When the ITC finds threat of material injury, and also makes its

``but for'' finding, the ``Special Rule'' provision of section

736(b)(2) applies. Therefore, all entries of CA flux from France,

entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption made on or after

June 15, 1994 (the date on which the ITC published its final

affirmative determination of threat of material injury in the Federal

Register), will be liable for the assessment of antidumping duties.

Suspension of Liquidation

The Department will direct U.S. Customs officers to terminate the

suspension of liquidation for entries of CA flux from France, entered,

or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption before June 15, 1994, (the

date on which the ITC published its final affirmative determination of

threat of material injury in the Federal Register), and to release any

bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit, posted to secure

the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to those

entries.

The Department will direct U.S. Customs officers to assess, upon

further advice by the administering authority pursuant to section

736(a)(1) of the Act, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which

the foreign market value of the merchandise exceeds the United States

price for all relevant entries of CA flux from France. U.S. Customs

officers must require, at the same time as importers would normally

deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to

the estimated weighted-average antidumping duty margin as noted below:

CA flux from France, pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act. Interested

parties may contact the Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the Main

Commerce Building, for copies of an updated list of antidumping duty

orders currently in effect.

This order is published in accordance with section 736(a) of the

Act and 19 CFR 353.21.

Dated: July 7, 1994.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
