Notice of Antidumping Duty Order in

the Antidumping Investigation of

Vector Supercomputers From Japan

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the statute are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments

made to the Tariff Act of 1930 by the

Uruguay Round Agreements Act

(URAA).

Scope of Order

The scope of this order consists of all

vector supercomputers, whether new or

used, and whether in assembled or

unassembled form, as well as vector

supercomputer spare parts, repair parts,

upgrades, and system software, shipped

to fulfill the requirements of a contract

entered into on or after October 16,

1997, for the sale and, if included,

maintenance of a vector supercomputer.

A vector supercomputer is any

computer with a vector hardware unit as

an integral part of its central processing

unit boards.

In general, the vector supercomputers

imported from Japan, whether

assembled or unassembled, covered by

this order are classifiable under heading

8471 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedules of the United States (‘‘HTS’’).

Merchandise properly classified under

HTS numbers 8471.10 and 8471.30,

however, is excluded from the scope of

this order. Although, these references to

the HTS are provided for convenience

and customs purposes, our written

description of the scope of this order is

dispositive.

On October 15, 1997, Fujitsu Limited

and Fujitsu America, Inc., respondents

in the antidumping proceeding,

requested that the Department adjust the

scope of this order to provide that it

applied to entries pursuant to a contract

entered into on or after the publication

of the final affirmative determination of

the U.S. International Trade

Commission in the Federal Register. On

October 16, 1997, Cray Research, Inc.,

the petitioner in the proceeding, wrote

the Department to acquiesce in Fujitsu’s

request. Therefore, the Department has

amended the scope language to clarify

that merchandise imported pursuant to

contracts for vector supercomputer

systems entered into prior to October

16, 1997, are outside the scope of this

order. Petitioner also requested

clarification as to whether the exercise

of an option in a contract entered into

prior to October 16, 1997, constitutes a

new contract entered into on the day the

option is exercised. Should the

petitioner bring the exercise of such an

option to the Department’s attention in

the form of a request for a ruling on the

scope of this order pursuant to 19 CFR

351.225(c), the Department will either

issue a final ruling under paragraph (d)

of that section or will initiate a scope

inquiry under paragraph (e).

Antidumping Duty Order

On October 7, 1997, in accordance

with section 735(d) of the Act, the U.S.

International Trade Commission (ITC)

notified the Department that imports of

vector supercomputers from Japan

threaten material injury to the U.S.

industry. The ITC did not determine

that but for the suspension of

liquidation of entries of vector

supercomputers from Japan, the

domestic industry would have been

materially injured. Accordingly, the
