SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 30, 1996, the Department published the final results of

the administrative review of Shop Towels from Bangladesh in the Federal

Register (61 FR 55957). The review covers six manufacturers/exporters.

The review period is March 1, 1994 through February 28, 1995.

On November 21, 1996, the Department released disclosure materials

to the parties in accordance with 19 CFR 353.28. Within the time limits

set forth under 19 CFR 353.28, in a submission dated November 25, 1996,

Greyfab contended that, in the final results, the Department

inadvertently made a ministerial error in the margin calculation of one

sales transaction by assigning a positive dumping margin to this sale

despite the fact that the Department's calculations indicate that there

was no dumping on this sale. No parties to this proceeding filed with

the Department any replies to Greyfab's November 25, 1996 submission.

We agree that this is a ministerial error as defined by 19 CFR 353.28

and have corrected this error. As a result,

[[Page 4254]]

Greyfab's margin changed from 0.70 percent to 0.02 percent.

Amended Final Results of Review

As a result of our correction of this ministerial error, we have

determined that the following percentage weighted-average margin exists

for the period March 1, 1994 through February 28, 1995:

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

Margin

Manufacturer/exporter percent

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

Greyfab (BD) Limited......................................... 0.02

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

The Department shall determine, and the Customs Service shall

assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Individual

differences between the export price and normal value may vary from the

percentage stated above. The Department will issue appraisement

instructions on the exporter directly to the Customs Service.

Furthermore, a cash deposit of zero percent will be required for

all shipments by Greyfab of the subject merchandise entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of

publication of these amended final results of administrative review, as

provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930.

This deposit requirement shall remain in effect until publication

of the final results of the next administrative review.

This notice also serves as a final reminder to the importer of its

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 (APO) of their responsibility

concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under

APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d)(1). 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 notice is in accordance with 19 CFR 353.28.

Dated: January 23, 1997.

Robert S. LaRussa,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
