Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of antidumping duty administrative 
review.

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

SUMMARY: On May 5, 1997, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of antidumping duty administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from Canada. The 
review covers one manufacturer/exporter, Norsk Hydro Canada Inc. 
(NHCI), of the subject merchandise to the United States for the period 
August 1, 1995 through July 31, 1996.
    We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the 
preliminary results of review but received no comments. Therefore, 
these final results of review are the same as those presented in our 
preliminary results. The review indicates the existence of no dumping 
margins for NHCI during this period.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 14, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), are references to the provisions 
effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to 
the Tariff Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

Background

    On August 31, 1992, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (57 FR 39399) the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium 
from Canada. On May 5, 1997, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the preliminary results of antidumping duty administrative 
review of this antidumping duty order (62 FR 24417). The Department has 
now completed the administrative review in accordance with section 751 
of the Tariff Act.

Scope of the Review

    The product covered by this review is pure magnesium. Pure 
unwrought magnesium contains at least 99.8 percent magnesium by weight 
and is sold in various slab and ingot forms and sizes. Granular and 
secondary magnesium are excluded from the scope currently classifiable 
under subheading 8104.11.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). 
The HTS item number is provided for convenience and for customs 
purposes. The written description remains dispositive.
    The review covers one Canadian manufacturer/exporter, NHCI, and the 
period August 1, 1995 through July 31, 1996.

Final Results of Review

    We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the 
preliminary results of review but received no comments. Therefore, 
these final results of review are the same as those presented in our 
preliminary results. We have determined that a margin of zero percent 
exists for NHCI for the period August 1, 1995 through July 31, 1996. 
The Department will issue appraisement instructions directly to the 
Customs Service upon completion of this review.
    Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective 
for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these 
final results, as provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act:

[[Page 43514]]

    (1) The cash deposit rate for NHCI will be zero percent; (2) for 
manufacturers or exporters other than NHCI that were covered in the 
original less-than-fair-value investigation or a previous review, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the most recent rate published in 
the final determination or final results for which the manufacturer or 
exporter received a company-specific rate; (3) if the exporter is not a 
firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-
fair-value 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) the cash deposit rate for all 
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 21 percent, the 
``all others'' rate established in Pure Magnesium From Canada; 
Amendment of Final Determination of Sales At Less Than Fair Value and 
Order in Accordance With Decision on Remand, 58 FR 62643, November 29, 
1993.
    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 C.F.R. 353.26 (1997) 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 order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 C.F.R. 353.34(d) (1997). 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 terms of an APO is a violation which is 
subject to sanction.
    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 
C.F.R. 353.22 (1997).

    Dated: August 5, 1997.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
