Pressure Sensitive Plastic Tape From Italy Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration/International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On April 13, 1994, the Department of Commerce published the

preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping

finding on pressure sensitive plastic tape from Italy. The review

covers one exporter, NAR, and the period October 1, 1992 through

September 30, 1993. Since there were no shipments of the subject

merchandise during the period of review, we determine that the dumping

margin for NAR to be 1.24 percent, the rate NAR received in its most

recent review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 15, 1994.

Background

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

published the preliminary results (59 FR 17513) of its administrative

review of the antidumping duty finding on pressure sensitive plastic

tape from Italy (42 FR 56110). The Department has now completed this

administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the tariff Act

of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act).

Scope of the Review

Imports covered by the review are shipments of pressure sensitive

plastic tape measuring over 1\3/8\ inches in width and not exceeding 4

miles in thickness, classifiable under item numbers 3919.10.20 and

3919.90.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedules (HTS). HTS item numbers

are provided for convenience and for Customs purposes. The written

descrpitions remain dispositive.

Final Results of Review

The Department received no comments on its preliminary results.

Therefore, we have assigned NAR the rate applicable to it from its most

recent administrative review as the estimated cash deposit rate. This

rate is 1.24 percent.

Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective

for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the

final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section

751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the reviewed

firm will be that firm's rate established in the final results of this

administrative review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated

companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be

the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if

the exporter is not a firm covered in any review, or the original less-

than-fair-value investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash

deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period

for the manufacturer of the merchandise and (4) the ``all other'' rate

for purposes of this review will be 12.66 percent, the ``new shipper''

rate established in the first notice of final results of administrative

review, (48 FR 35686, August 5, 1983) as decided in Florad Trade

Council v. United States, Slip op. 93-79 and Federal-Mogal Corporation

and the Torrington Company V. United States, Slip Op. 93-83.

These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until publication

of the final results of the next administrative review.

This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 to file a certificate regarding the

reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the

relevent entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this

requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that

reimbursement of antidumpong duties occurred and the subsequent

assessment of double antidumping duties.

This notice also serves as a remainder to parties subject to

administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility

concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under

APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written notification or

conversation to judicial protection order is hereby requested. Failure

to comply with regulations and the terms of APO is a sanctionable

violation.

This administrative review and notice are in accordance with

section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR

353.22.

Dated: July 9, 1994.

Susan G. Esserman,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
