SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 30, 1992, the Department published in the Federal Register

the antidumping duty order on high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from

Germany (57 FR 29062). On June 7, 1994, the Department published a

notice in the Federal Register notifying interested parties of the

opportunity to request an administrative review of high-tenacity rayon

filament yarn from Germany (59 FR 29441). On June 30, 1994, Akzo, a

producer/exporter, requested, in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(a), that

we conduct an administrative review of exports to the United States by

Akzo Nobel Faser A.G. and Akzo Nobel Fibers, Inc., for the period June

1, 1993, through May 31, 1994. We published a notice of initiation of

the antidumping duty administrative review on July 15, 1994 (59 FR

36160). On July 12, 1995, the Department published in the Federal

Register the preliminary results of its administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from

Germany (60 FR 35896). The Department has now completed that review in

accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the

Act).

Applicable Statutes and Regulations

Unless otherwise stated, all citations to the statutes and to the

Department's regulations are references to the provisions as they

existed on December 31, 1994.

Scope of the Review

The product covered by this administrative review is high-tenacity

rayon filament yarn from Germany. During the review period, such

merchandise was classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)

item number 5403.10.30.40. High-tenacity rayon filament yarn is a

multifilament single yarn of viscose rayon with a twist of five turns

or more per meter, having a denier of 1100 or greater, and a tenacity

greater than 35 centinewtons per tax. The HTS item numbers are provided

for convenience and Customs purposes. The written description remains

dispositive as to the scope of this proceeding.

Final Results of the Review

We invited interested parties to comment on the preliminary

results. We received no comments. The final results are therefore

unchanged from those presented in the preliminary results, and we

determine that a margin of zero percent exists for Akzo for the period

June 1, 1993, through May 31, 1994.

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for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from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

final results, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The

cash deposit rate for Akzo will be the rate established in the final

results of this review, which in this case, is a zero cash deposit

rate; (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 this review, a prior review, or the original less than

fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash

deposit rate will be the rate for the manufacturer of the merchandise;

and (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered

in this or any previous review by the Department, the cash deposit rate

will be 24.58 percent, the all other rate established in the LTFV

investigation.

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

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 a reminder to parties subject to

administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility

concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under

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

return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the

regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

This administrative review and notice are in accordance with

section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 353.22.

Dated: September 22, 1995.

Susan G. Esserman,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
