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subject merchandise made by FGL entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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