SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Period of Review

The period of review (POR) is

December 1, 1995 through November

30, 1996.

Scope of the Review

The products covered by this review

are certain cased pencils of any shape or

dimension which are writing and/or

drawing instruments that feature cores

of graphite or other materials encased in

wood and/or man-made materials,

whether or not tipped (e.g., with erasers,

etc.) in any fashion, and either

sharpened or unsharpened. The pencils

subject to this review are classified

under subheading 9609.10.00 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Specifically

excluded from the scope of this review

are mechanical pencils, cosmetic

pencils, pens, non-case crayons (wax),

pastels, charcoals, and chalks. Although

the HTSUS subheading is provided for

convenience and customs purposes, our

written description of the scope of the

review is dispositive.

Background

On December 28, 1994, we published

an antidumping duty order (59 FR

66909) which stated that imports of the

two producer/exporter combinations

identified in the LTFV investigation had

margins of zero. We stated in the

antidumping duty order that we would

exclude from the order imports of

subject merchandise that are sold by

‘‘either China First or Guangdong and

manufactured by the producers whose

factors formed the basis for the zero

margin’’ (59 FR at 66910). Those

exporter/producer combinations were

subsequently identified in the order as

China First/China First and Guangdong/

Shanghai Three Star Stationery Industry

Corporation (Three Star).

In response to our notice of

opportunity to request administrative
