ACTION: Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative

Reviews.

SUMMARY: On June 29, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the Department)

published the preliminary results of its administrative reviews of the

antidumping duty order on color television receivers (CTVs) from the

Republic of Korea covering exports of this merchandise to the United

States by the manufacturer Daewoo Electronics Co., Ltd. (Daewoo). Based

on our review of these exports during the period April 1, 1988 through

March 31, 1989, we found a margin of 4.00 percent. Daewoo had no

shipments during the April 1, 1989 through March 31, 1990,

administrative review period. We invited interested parties to comment

on the preliminary results. We received comments from the Independent

Radionic Workers of America, International Union of Electronic,

Electrical, Technical, Salaried, and Machine Workers, AFL-CIO, the

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers of America, and the

Industrial Union Department, AFL-CIO (collectively the petitioners) and

Daewoo stating that they have no objection to our preliminary results.

Therefore, our final results of review remain unchanged from those

presented in our preliminary results.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 19, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 29, 1994 (59 FR 33487), the Department published in the

Federal Register the preliminary results of its administrative reviews

of the antidumping duty order on CTVs from the Republic of Korea (49 FR

18336; April 1984) covering exports of this merchandise to the United

States by the manufacturer, Daewoo. For administrative convenience, we

have combined the results of two reviews covering the periods April 1,

1988 through March 31, 1989, and April 1, 1989 through March 31, 1990,

for this manufacturer. We have now completed these administrative

reviews in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act).

Scope of the Review

Imports covered by these reviews include CTVs, complete and

incomplete, from the Republic of Korea. The order covers all CTVs

regardless of tariff classification. During the period of review, the

subject merchandise was classified under item numbers 684.9246,

684.9248, 684.9250, 684.9252, 684.9253, 684.9255, 684.9256, 684. 9258,

684.9262, 684.9263, 684.9270, 684.9275, 684.9655, 684.9656, 684.9658,

684.9660, 684.9663, 684.9864, 684.9866, 687.3512, 687.3513, 687.3514,

687.3516, 687.3518, and 687.3520 of the Tariff Schedules of the United

States Annotated (TSUSA). This merchandise is currently classifiable

under item numbers 8528.10.80, 8529.90.15, 8529.90.20, and 8540.11.00

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). Although the HTS and TSUSA

item numbers are provided for convenience and Customs purposes, our

written description of the scope remains dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

We invited interested parties to comment on our preliminary results

of the reviews. We received comments from petitioners and Daewoo

stating that they have no objection to our preliminary results.

Therefore, our final results of review remain the same as those

presented in our preliminary results.

Final Results of the Review

Based on our review of these exports during the period April 1,

1988 through March 31, 1989, we determine Daewoo's dumping margin to be

4.00 percent. Daewoo had no shipments during the April 1, 1989 through

March 31, 1990, administrative review period.

The Department shall instruct the U.S. Customs Service to assess

antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department will

issue appraisement instructions directly to the Customs Service.

Furthermore, since Daewoo has been reviewed in a period subsequent

to this period, the cash deposit rate for Daewoo will remain at 0.90

percent, the company's rate from the most recently reviewed period.

See, Color Television Receivers from the Republic of Korea; Amendment

to Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review (59 FR

21958; April 28, 1994).

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

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

requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that

reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent

assessment of double antidumping duties.

This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to

administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibilities

concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Failure to

comply is a violation of the APO.

These administrative reviews and notice are in accordance with

section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1))

and 19 CFR 353.22.

Dated: August 13, 1994.

Susan G. Esserman,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
