control numbers for home market sales

as used in the sales-below-cost test.

The Department’s Position:

We agree with Nan Ya that the control

numbers assigned to home market sales

in preparation for the sales-below-cost

test should have been revised based on

information found at verification with

respect to fiber type. To correct this

error, we have constructed new control

numbers on home market sales for

purposes of matching these sales to their

respective costs of production. (See the

Calculation Memorandum.)

Other Comments on the Calculation of

Constructed Value

We received other comments

pertaining to the calculation of

constructed value. We note that there

were no comparisons to constructed

value in either the final determination

or this amended final determination. In

addition, we find that our calculations

contained one additional ministerial

error which was not identified by any

party to this proceeding. Specifically,

we erroneously included inventory

carrying costs when calculating

constructed value. The comments from

interested parties and a discussion of

the additional error we found are

addressed in the Calculation

Memorandum. Changes to the computer

program, where appropriate, have been

made in the event this proceeding

results in an antidumping duty order

and the computer program from this

amended final determination gets used

again in a future segment of this

proceeding.

Suspension of Liquidation

In accordance with section

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we are directing

the Customs Service (‘‘Customs’’) to

suspend liquidation of all imports of the

subject merchandise from Taiwan,

produced and exported by Nan Ya that

are entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

the date of publication of this notice in

the Federal Register. Customs will

continue to suspend liquidation on all

imports of the subject merchandise from

Taiwan produced and exported by Far

Eastern Textile, Ltd. and all other

producers/exporters. Customs shall

require a cash deposit or the posting of

a bond equal to the weighted-average

amount by which normal value exceeds

the export price as indicated in the chart

below. These suspension of liquidation

instructions will remain in effect until

further notice.

The weighted-average dumping

margins are as follows:

Exporter/manufacturer Weighted-average

margin percentage Critical circumstances

FETL ....................................................................................................................................... 9.51 No.

Nan Ya .................................................................................................................................... 5.77 No.

All Others ................................................................................................................................ 7.53 No.

The rate for all other producers and

exporters applies to all entries of the

subject merchandise except for entries

from exporters that are identified

individually above.

ITC Notification

In accordance with section 735(d) of

the Act, we have notified the

International Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’)

of our amended final determination.

This determination is issued and

published in accordance with sections

735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: April 20, 2000.

merchandise from Taiwan, requested

that the Department conduct an

administrative review for the period

Department published a notice of

initiation of the antidumping

administrative review on WSSP from

Taiwan, in accordance with 19 CFR

351.221(c)(1)(i). See Initiation of

the Department issued a questionnaire

withdrew its request for review.

Rescission of Review

Pursuant to Departmental regulations,

the Department will rescind an

administrative review ‘‘if a party that

its request for review was within the 90-

day time limit; accordingly, we are

rescinding the administrative review for

the period December 1, 1998 through

determination is issued in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4) and section

777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: April 21, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The American Fisheries Act (AFA),

signed into law in October 1998,

established a new allocation program for

the pollock fishery of the Bering Sea and

Aleutian Islands Management Area

(BSAI). NOAA issued an emergency

interim rule to give immediate effect to

all AFA-mandated management

measures. Under the AFA, only vessels

and processors that meet specific

qualifying criteria are eligible to fish for

and process pollock in the BSAI. The

BSAI pollock quota is suballocated to

groups of vessel owners who form

fishing vessel cooperatives under the

AFA. NOAA administers new AFA

fishing, processing, and cooperative

permits for the BSAI pollock fishery

through application form requirements

that allow NOAA to identify and permit

the vessels and processors that are

eligible to participate in the BSAI

pollock fishery. Owners of vessels and

processors must submit evidence of

their qualification to participate.

II. Method of Collection

Applications are submitted on paper

forms.
