SUMMARY: On August 17, 1995, the Department of Commerce (the

Department) published in the Federal Register the preliminary results

of administrative review of the antidumping finding on pressure

sensitive plastic tape (PSPT) from Italy. The review covers two

manufacturers/exporters of the subject merchandise shipped to the

United States during the period October 1, 1993, through September 30,

1994. We did not receive any comments on the preliminary results.

Therefore, the dumping margins for the reviewed companies are unchanged

from the preliminary results.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 31, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department published the preliminary results of this review on

August 17, 1995 (60 FR 42845). The Department has now completed this

administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act

of 1930, as amended.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

The Department is conducting this review in accordance with section

751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute and to the

Department's regulations are in reference to the provisions as they

existed on December 31, 1994.

Scope of the Review

Imports covered by the review are shipments of PSPT measuring 1\3/

8\ inches in width and not exceeding 4 mils in thickness. During the

period of review (POR), the above described PSPT was classified under

HTS subheadings 3919.90.20 and 3919.90.50. The HTS subheadings are

provided for convenience and for U.S. Customs purposes. The written

description remains dispositive as the scope of the product coverage.

The period of review is October 1, 1993, through September 30, 1994.

Final Results of Review

The Department received no comments on its preliminary results.

Therefore, the margins from the preliminary results have not changed

for the final results of review.

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

The Department shall determine, and the U.S. Customs Service shall

assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department

shall issue appraisement instructions for each exporter directly to the

U.S. Customs Service.

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for all shipments of the subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn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

these final results of this administrative review, as provided for by

section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the

reviewed firms will be those firm's rates established in the final

results of this administrative review; (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, or

the original LTFV 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 manufacturers or exporters not previously reviewed will

be 12.66 percent, the ``new shipper'' rate established in the first

notice of final results of administrative review published by the

Department (48 FR 35686, August 5, 1983).

These deposit requirements, when imposed, 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 order (APO) of their responsibility

concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under

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

conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to

comply with the regulations and the terms of the 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: October 20, 1995.

Susan G. Esserman,

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
