accounting methodology was

reasonable. Finally, the Department

revised the treatment of VATs to

comport with its then-existing

methodology used in Certain Stainless

Steel Wire rod from France, 58 FR 6885

(Dec. 29, 1993) by adjusting USP for tax

by multiplying the home market tax rate

by the USP at the point in the chain of

commerce of the U.S. merchandise that

is analogous to the point in the home

market chain of commerce at which the

foreign government applies the home

market consumption tax.

With exception of the department’s

methodology for VAT adjustments, the

CIT upheld all aspects of the

Department’s remand redetermination.

See E.I Dupont de Nemours & Co., Inc.,

ICI Americas, Inc., v. United States, 932

F. Supp. 296 (CIT 1996). The CIT

concluded that the Department’s VAT

adjustments were not consistent with

the Federal circuit court’s ruling in

Federal Mogul Corp. v. United States, 66

F.3d 1572 (Fed. Cir. 1995) and

remanded this issue to the Department

for recalculation of the VAT

adjustments.

On May 17, 1996, the Department

filed the results of the second remand

redetermination. In accordance with the

VAT methodology adopted after the

Federal Mogul decision, the Department

added the tax amount paid in the home

market to USP for the same

merchandise.

On February 5, 1997, the CIT upheld

the second remand results. E.I. DuPont

de Nemours & Co., Inc. v. United States,

954 F. Supp. 263 (CIT 1997). The period

to appeal has expired and no appeal was

filed. Therefore, as there is now a final

and conclusive court decision in this

action, we are amending our final

determination.

Amendment to Final Determination

Pursuant to section 516A(e) of the

Act, we are now amending the final

determination in polyethylene

terephthalate film, sheet and strip from

the Republic of Korea. The recalculated

weighted-average dumping margins are

as follows:

Manufacturer/producer/exporter Margin

(percent)

SKC ........................................... 13.92

Cheil .......................................... 36.33

All others ................................... 21.50

We will instruct U.S. Customs to

change the existing ‘‘all others’’ cash

deposit requirements accordingly. We

note that this order has been revoked

with respect to Cheil (61 FR 35177) and

SKC’s current cash deposit rate is based

upon an administrative review

conducted subsequent to this segment of

the proceeding. Therefore, this amended

redetermination does not affect the cash

deposit rates for either SKC or Cheil.
