SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On December 14, 1994, December 16, 1994, and January 6, 1995, the

CIT issued orders directing the Department to recalculate the value-

added tax (VAT) according to the methodology employed in Federal Mogul

v. United States, 834 F. Supp. 1391 (CIT October 7, 1993) (Federal

Mogul) for various companies for the periods April 1, 1986 through

March 31, 1987 (third review), April 1, 1989 through March 31, 1990

(sixth review), and April 1, 1991 through March 31, 1992 (eighth

review). Also, on December 16, 1994, the CIT directed the Department in

the eighth review to establish a methodology for the adjustment to

United States price for uncollected import duties forgiven upon export.

Pursuant to the instructions of the CIT, the Department calculated

the VAT consistent with the methodology employed in Federal Mogul, for

various companies for the third, sixth, and eighth reviews. The

Department established a methodology for calculating and made an

adjustment in the eighth review for uncollected import duties on

exported merchandise. On April 25, 1995, the Court affirmed our

application of the VAT methodology, and adjustments for uncollected

import duties.

Amended Final Results of Review

The results of our calculations are presented below:

[[Page 40822]]

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

Margin

Company Period (percent)

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

AOC.................................... 4/1/86-3/31/87...... 0.88

Proton................................. 4/1/86-3/31/87...... 0.86

Proton................................. 4/1/89-3/31/90...... 0.53

Action................................. 4/1/91-3/31/92...... 2.69

Proton................................. 4/1/91-3/31/92...... 6.23

Tatung................................. 4/1/91-3/31/92...... 1.75

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

Based on the results of the eighth review (4/1/91-3/31/92), the

Department will instruct the Customs Service to collect cash deposits

of estimated antidumping duties on all appropriate entries for Action,

Proton, and Tatung in accordance with the procedures discussed in the

final results of these reviews. Because AOC had no shipments during the

eighth review, and has filed an appeal concerning the final results for

the seventh review, the Department will make no changes to AOC's cash

deposit rate at this time. These deposit requirements are effective for

all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from

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

notice and shall remain in effect until publication of the final

results of the next administrative review.

The Department will issue appraisement instructions directly to the

Customs Service for each exporter.

This notice serves as a 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 the review period. Failure to comply with this

requirement could result in the presumption that reimbursement of

antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double

antidumping duties.

This amendment of final results of review and notice are in

accordance with section 751(f) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1673(d) and

19 CFR 353.28(c).

Dated: August 4, 1995.

Susan G. Esserman,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
