SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 18, 1993, the CIT, in Pulton Chain Co., v. United States

(Slip Op. 93-020, October 18, 1993), remanded to the Department for

redetermination the final results of the April 1, 1981, through March

31, 1982, and April 1, 1982, through March 31, 1983, administrative

reviews of the antidumping finding on roller chain, other than bicycle,

from Japan (38 FR 9226; April 12, 1973).

In the Department's final results of administrative review, the

dumping margin for Pulton roller chain sold or imported into the United

States during the periods April 1, 1981, through March 31, 1982, and

April 1, 1982, through March 31, 1983, was 15.92 percent. Pulton's

dumping margin for those final results was based on best information

available (BIA), in accordance with Section 776(c) of the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended, (the Act) (see Roller Chain from Japan, Final Results

of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 56 FR 32175 (July 15,

1991)).

On October 18, 1993, the CIT remanded this case to the Department

``to apply BIA rates based on the calculated rates for other exporters

during the period at issue, or to calculate an actual antidumping duty

rate for [Pulton]'' (see Pulton Chain Co. v. United States (Slip Op.

93-202)).

Final Remand Results

In accordance with the CIT's order, the Department revised its

final results with respect to Pulton for the 1981-1982 and 1982-1983

administrative reviews of roller chain from Japan. On the basis of the

BIA margins sanctioned by the CIT, we determined that the revised

weighted-average margin for Pulton for the period April 1, 1981,

through March 31, 1982, is 5.22 percent and the weighted-average margin

for Pulton for the period April 1, 1982, through March 31, 1983, is

5.45 percent.

FINAL RESULTS OF REDETERMINATION:

On December 14, 1993, the CIT affirmed our redetermination (Slip

Op. 93-235). In accordance with that affirmation, we are hereby

amending the final results of the administrative review for the April

1, 1981, through March 31, 1982, and the April 1, 1982, through March

31, 1983 periods with respect to Pulton. Pulton's rate for the 1981-

1982 period is 5.22 percent and for the 1982-1983 period it is 5.45

percent.

The Department shall determine, and the Customs Service shall

assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department

will issue appraisement instructions directly to the Customs Service.

This notice is in accordance with section 516(a)(e) of the Act.

Dated: September 28, 1994.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
