SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 11, 1997, the Department published in the Federal Register

(62 FR 11150), the preliminary results of the antidumping duty order on

CA flux from France (59 FR 30337). The Department has now completed

this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff

Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act).

Final Results of Review

We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the

preliminary results of review. The Department received no written

comments or requests for a hearing. Based on our analysis, these final

results of review remain the same as those presented in the preliminary

results of review. Therefore, we determine that the following weighted-

average margin exists:

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

Margin

Manufacturer/exporter Period of review (percent)

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

Lafarge Aluminates, Inc................. 06/01/95-05/31/96 7.30

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

The Department shall determine, and the Customs Service shall

assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Individual

differences between export price and normal value may vary from the

percentage stated above. The Department will issue appraisement

instructions directly to the Customs Service.

Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective

upon publication of this notice of final results of review for all

shipments of CA flux from France within the scope of the order entered,

or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the

publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act:

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

list above; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not

listed above, the 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-value

(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) for all other producers and/or

exporters of this merchandise, the cash deposit rate of 37.93 percent,

the ``all others'' rate, established in the LTFV investigation, 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 Sec. 353.26 to file a certificate regarding

the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation to 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 subsequent assessment

of double antidumping duties.

Notification of Interested Parties

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 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. Timely

written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or

converion to judicial protective order is hereby requested.

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

Sec. 353.22.

Dated: May 9, 1997.

Robert S. LaRussa,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
