SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 11, 1991, the Department published its final results of

administrative review of television receivers, monochrome and color,

from Japan covering imports from 11 manufacturers/exporters during

various periods, including imports from Fujitsu General Limited (FGL)

for the periods March 1, 1986 through February 28, 1987; March 1, 1987

through February 29, 1988; and March 1, 1989 through February 28, 1990.

See Television Receivers, Monochrome and Color, from Japan: Final

Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 56 FR 25392.

Subsequently, FGL challenged the final results before the United States

Court of International Trade (CIT). Following a voluntary remand, the

Department issued a redetermination which was affirmed by the CIT on

March 14, 1995. See Fujitsu General Limited v. United States, 883

F.Supp. 728 (CIT 1995). Subsequently, an appeal was filed by FGL.

On July 3, 1996, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

upheld the Department's remand determination. See Fujitsu General

Limited v. United States, 88 F.3d 1034 (Fed. Cir. 1996). As there is

now a final and conclusive court decision in this action, we are

amending our final results of review in this matter and we will

subsequently instruct the U.S. Customs Service to liquidate entries

subject to this review.

Amendment to Final Result of Review

Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1516a(e), we are now amending the final

results of administrative review for television receivers, monochrome

and color, from Japan, with respect to FGL, for the above-referenced

periods. The revised weighted-average margin for these periods is 26.17

percent.

Accordingly, the Department will determine, and the Customs Service

will assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of the

subject merchandise made by FGL and covered by this review. Individual

differences between United States price and foreign market value may

vary from the percentage stated above. The Department will issue

appraisement instructions directly to the Customs Service. Furthermore,

the cash deposit rate for FGL which will be effective upon publication

of these amended final results of review for all shipments of the

subject merchandise made by FGL entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the publication date, and will remain in

effect until publication of the final results of the next

administrative review, will be 26.17 percent.

Dated: September 10, 1997.

Jeffrey P. Bialos,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
