SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On November 24, 1997, the

Department published Extruded Rubber

Thread From Malaysia, Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review, 62 FR 62547 (November 24,

1997) (‘‘Final Results’’), covering the

period October 1, 1993 through

September 30, 1994. Subsequent to the

publication of the Department’s Final

Results, two respondents (Rubberflex

Sdn. Bhd., and Rubfil Sdn. Bhd.)

appealed the Final Results to the Court.

Based on these challenges the Court

remanded the Final Results. See

Heveafil Sdn. Bhd., Rubberflex Sdn.

Bhd. and Rubfil Sdn. Bhd., v. the United

States, Slip Op. 99–68 (July 23, 1999).

On remand, the Court instructed the

Department to (1) repeat the verification

of Rubberflex Sdn. Bhd. (‘‘Rubberflex’’)

and (2) revise the margin calculation

program to convert the ocean freight

expense for Rubfil Sdn. (‘‘Rubfil’’) to

U.S. dollars and to recalculate Rubfil’s

U.S. prices.

As a result of settlement negotiations,

Rubberflex entered into an agreement

with the Department to settle the

litigation and to dismiss its claim with

respect to the lawsuit. On October 22,

1999, the Department filed its remand

determination with the Court,

addressing issues related to Rubfil. In its

determination, the Department revised

the margin calculation program to

convert the ocean freight expense to

U.S. dollars and to recalculate Rubfil’s

U.S. prices.

As noted above, on November 24,

1999, the Court affirmed the

Department’s remand results and no

appeal was filed. 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 instruct the U.S. Customs Service

(‘‘Customs’’) to liquidate entries subject

to this review in accordance with the

remand results. Because the Department

has published subsequent

administrative reviews covering later

time frames, future cash deposits will be

governed by the most recently

completed administrative review,

according to the Department’s normal

procedures. See Extruded Rubber

Thread From Malaysia; Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review, 65 FR 6140 (February 8, 2000).

Amended Final Results

Pursuant to section 516A(e) of the

Act, we are now amending the Final

Results. As a result of our recalculation

of the margins, the final weightedaverage margin for Rubfil has changed.

Further, as a result of the settlement

agreement, the final weighed-average

margin for Rubberflex has changed. The

final weighted-average margins for the

above period of review are as follows:

Producer/manufacturer/exporter

Weightedaverage

margin

(percent)

Rubfil Sdn. Bhd .......................... 11.81

Rubberflex .................................. 10.00

The Department will determine, and

Customs shall assess, antidumping

duties on all appropriate entries. The

Department will issue appraisement

instructions to Customs after

publication of this amended final results

of review.

This determination is issued and

published in accordance with sections

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: April 24, 2000.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
