The petitions were submitted

pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade Act

of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341). Consequently,

the United States Department of

Commerce has initiated separate

investigations to determine whether

increased imports into the United States

of articles like or directly competitive

with those produced by each firm

contributed importantly to total or

partial separation of the firm’s workers,

or threat thereof, and to a decrease in

sales or production of each petitioning

firm.

Any party having a substantial

interest in the proceedings may request

a public hearing on the matter. A

request for a hearing must be received

by Trade Adjustment Assistance, Room

7315, Economic Development

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, Washington, DC 20230, no

later than the close of business on the

SUMMARY: On May 13, 1997, the Court

of International Trade affirmed the

Department of Commerce’s final remand

results in Rautaruukki Oy v. United

States, Consol. Court No. 93–09–00560–

AD, arising out of the Department’s final

determination of sales at less than fair

value in the antidumping investigation

of certain cut-to-length carbon steel

plate from Finland. As there is now a

final and conclusive court decision in

this action, we are amending our final

determination of sales at less than fair

value and we will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service to change the

appropriate cash deposit rate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On July 9, 1993, the Department of

Commerce (the Department) published

its final determination in its

investigation of sales at less than fair

value (LTFV) of certain cut-to-length

carbon steel plate from Finland (58 FR

37122). On August 19, 1993, the

Department published an amended final

determination (58 FR 44165).

Subsequently, respondent

Rautauruukki Oy and petitioner Inland

Steel Industries, Inc, and a number of

other interested parties, filed lawsuits

with the Court of International Trade

(the Court) challenging the final

determination. On March 31, 1995, the

Court remanded the case to the

Department and ordered the Department

to recalculate the value added tax (VAT)

according to the Department’s new

methodology. See Rautaruukki Oy v.

United States, Slip Op. 95–56, (CIT,

March 31, 1995). Specifically, the Court

ordered that the Department revise its

dumping margin calculation by

multiplying the Finnish VAT rate by

United States price (USP) and then

increasing USP by the resulting amount.

On remand, in accordance with

Federal-Mogul Corp. and The

Torrington Co. v. United States, Slip Op.

93–194 (CIT, October 7, 1993), the

Department recalculated the margins in

this case by applying the foreign market

tax rate to the price of the United States

merchandise at the same point in the

chain of commerce that the foreign

market tax was applied to foreign

market sales.

On May 13, 1997, the Court affirmed

the final remand results. See

Rautaruukki Oy v. United States, Slip

Op. 97–56 (CIT, May 13, 1997). As there

is now a final and conclusive court
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 208 / Tuesday, October 28, 1997 / Notices 55783

decision in this action we are amending

our final determination, and we will

subsequently instruct the U.S. Customs

Service to change the appropriate cash

deposit requirements entries subject to

this investigation.

Amendment to Final Determination

Pursuant to 516A(e) of the Tariff Act

of 1930, as amended, (the Act) we are

now amending the final results of this

investigation of certain cut-to-length

carbon steel plate from Finland.

The recalculated weighted-average

margins are as follows:

Producer/manufacturer/exporter

Margin

percentage

Rautaruukki Oy ............................... 40.36

All Others ........................................ 40.36

In August 1993, the U.S. International

Trade Commission (the Commission)

determined that imports of certain cutto-length carbon steel plate from

Finland materially injure a U.S.

industry. As a consequence of the

Commission’s affirmative

determination, these products were

subject to an antidumping duty order.

Since publication of the LTFV final

determination and order, the

Department has completed, pursuant to

Section 751 of the Act, first and second

administrative reviews of the

antidumping order. As a result, this

amended final determination does not

necessitate a change in cash deposit

rates nor liquidation of the subject

merchandise as the order relates to

Rautaruukki Oy. However, the

Department will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service to change the

appropriate cash deposit requirements

to 40.36 percent of the entered value of

the subject merchandise for all other

producers/exporters.

Dated: October 22, 1997.

Robert S. LaRussa,

Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.
