SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On July 27, 1995, the Department of Commerce (the Department)

published the preliminary results of its administrative review of the

antidumping finding (37 FR 11773, June 14, 1972) on large power

transformers from Japan in the Federal Register (57 FR 53468). The

Department has now completed that administrative review in accordance

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

Act).

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute and to the

Department's regulations are references to the provisions as they

existed on December 31, 1994.

Scope of the Review

Imports covered by the review are shipments of large power

transformers; that is, all types of transformers rated 10,000 kVA

(kilovolt-amperes) or above, by whatever name designated, used in the

generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric

power. The term ``transformers'' includes, but is not limited to, shunt

reactors, autotransformers, rectifier transformers, and power rectifier

transformers. Not included are combination units, commonly known as

rectiformers, if the entire integrated assembly is imported in the same

shipment and entered on the same entry and the assembly has been

ordered and invoiced as a unit, without a separate price for the

transformer portion of the assembly. This merchandise is currently

classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) item numbers

8504.22.00, 8504.23.00, 8504.34.33, 8504.40.00, and 8504.50.00. The HTS

item numbers are provided for convenience and Customs purposes. The

written description remains dispositive.

The review covers one manufacturer/exporter of transformers, Fuji

Electric Co., Ltd. (Fuji). The period of review is June 1, 1993,

through May 31, 1994.

Final Results of Review

Although we gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on

the preliminary results, we did not receive any comments. Because Fuji

reported, and the Department verified through the Customs Service, that

Fuji made no shipments to the United States during the period of

review, a cash deposit rate of 5.90 percent, which is Fuji's rate from

the final results of the last review period in which Fuji made

shipments, will remain in effect for Fuji.

Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective

upon publication of these final results of administrative review for

all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the

Tariff Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the reviewed company will be

the rate as listed above; (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 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 cash

deposit rate for all other manufactures or exporters will continue to

be 10.63 percent (see Large Power Transformers from Japan; Final

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 59 FR 44498, August

23, 1993).

These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until

publication of the final results of the next administrative review.

This notice also 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

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

353.22.

Dated: September 20, 1995.

Paul L. Joffe,

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
