Allegations of ministerial errors were

made with respect to the Department’s

final determination for CRN from the

PRC. Upon review, the Department

determined that these allegations were

without merit. Therefore, no

amendments to the final determination

were necessary.

This notice constitutes the

antidumping duty order with respect to

CRN from the PRC. The Department is

excluding from the application of the

order products from the PRC that are

manufactured and sold to the United

States by Top United or Zongxun.

Interested parties may contact the

Central Records Unit, Room B–099 of

the Main Commerce Building, for copies

of an updated list of antidumping duty

orders currently in effect.

This order is published in accordance

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 (‘‘the

Act’’) by the Uruguay Round

Amended Final Determination

In accordance with section 735(a) of

the Tariff Act of 1930, on September 24,

1997, the Department made its final

determination that collated roofing nails

(‘‘CRN’’) from Taiwan are being, or are

likely to be, sold in the United States at

less than fair value (62 FR 51427–51437

(October 1, 1997)). Subsequent to the

final determination, on October 10 and

14, 1997, we received submissions,

timely filed pursuant to 19 CFR

353.28(b), from Unicatch Industrial Co.

Ltd. (‘‘Unicatch’’), Lei Chu Enterprises

Co., Ltd (‘‘Lei Chu’’), and S&J Wire

Products Company, Ltd. (‘‘S&J’’),

alleging ministerial errors in the

Department’s final determination for

these respondents. We also received

submissions from Paslode Division Of

Illinois Tool Works Inc. (‘‘the

petitioner’’) alleging ministerial errors

in the Department’s final determination

for S&J and Lei Chu.

We determine that ministerial errors

were made in our final margin

calculations for Lei Chu with respect to

calculation of SG&A and profit, for

Unicatch with respect to calculation of

constructed export price, and for S&J

with respect to exclusion of certain

sales, calculation of normal value and

exclusion of non-subject merchandise.

For a detailed discussion of the abovecited ministerial errors and the

Department’s analysis, see

Memorandum from Case Analysts to

Louis Apple, dated October 22, 1997. In

accordance with 19 CFR 353.28(c), we

are amending the final determination of

the antidumping duty investigation of

Scope of Order

The product covered by this

investigation is CRN made of steel,

having a length of 13/16 inch to 1–13/

16 inches (or 20.64 to 46.04

millimeters), a head diameter of 0.330

inch to 0.415 inch (or 8.38 to 10.54

millimeters), and a shank diameter of

0.100 inch to 0.125 inch (or 2.54 to 3.18

millimeters), whether or not galvanized,

that are collated with two wires.

CRN within the scope of this

investigation are classifiable under the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings

7317.00.55.06. Although the HTSUS

subheadings are provided for

convenience and customs purposes, our

written description of the scope of this

investigation is dispositive.

Antidumping Duty Order

In accordance with section 735(a) of

the Act, the Department made its final

determination that CRN from Taiwan

are being sold at less than fair value. On

November 12, 1997, the International

Trade Commission (‘‘ITC’’) notified the

Department of its final determination,

pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(ii) of

the Act, that an industry in the United

States is threatened with material injury

by reason of imports of the subject

merchandise from Taiwan. The ITC did

not determine, pursuant to section

735(b)(4)(B) of the Act, that, but for the

suspension of liquidation of entries of

the subject merchandise, the domestic

industry would have been materially

injured.

When the ITC finds threat of material

injury, and makes a negative ‘‘but for’’

finding under section 735 (b)(4)(B) of

the Act, the ‘‘Special Rule’’ provision of

section 736(b)(2) applies. Therefore,

only unliquidated entries of collated

roofing nails from Taiwan entered, or
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 223 / Wednesday, November 19, 1997 / Notices 61731

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the date on

which the ITC published its notice of

final determination of threat of material

injury in the Federal Register are liable

for the assessment of antidumping

duties. Accordingly, the Department

will direct the Customs Service to

terminate the suspension of liquidation

for entries of collated roofing nails

imported from Taiwan entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption before the date on which

the ITC published its notice of final

determination of threat of material

injury in the Federal Register, and to

release any bond or other security, and

refund any cash deposit, posted to

secure the payment of estimated

antidumping duties with respect to

these entries.

In accordance with section 736 of the

Act, the Department will direct United

States Customs officers to assess, upon

further advice by the administering

authority pursuant to section 736(a)(1)

of the Act, antidumping duties equal to

the amount by which the normal value

of the merchandise exceeds the export

price or constructed export price of

merchandise for all relevant entries of

CRN from Taiwan except for imports

manufactured and exported by Unicatch

or Lei Chu. All bonds may be released

and entries of Unicatch and Lei Chu

may be liquidated without regard to

antidumping duties. For all other

manufacturers/exporters antidumping

duties will be assessed on all

unliquidated entries of CRN from

Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from

warehouse, for consumption on or after

the date on which the ITC published its

final affirmative determination notice in

the Federal Register. On or after the

date of publication of this notice in the

Federal Register, U.S. Customs officers

must require, at the same time as

importers would normally deposit

estimated duties, the following cash

deposits for the subject merchandise:

Case History

Since the preliminary determination

in this investigation (Preliminary

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair

Value and Postponement of Final

Determination: Certain Cut-to-Length

Carbon Steel Plate From South Africa,

62 FR 31963 (June 11, 1997)), the

following events have occurred:

In July and August 1997, we verified

the respondents’ questionnaire

responses. On August 22, 1997 and

September 3, 1997, the Department

issued its reports on verification

findings for Iscor Ltd. (Iscor). On August

25, 1997 and September 15, 1997, the

Department issued its reports on

verification findings for Highveld Steel

and Vanadium Corporation Ltd.

(Highveld). On September 22, 1997,

respondents submitted new computer

sales listings which included data

corrections identified through

verification. Petitioners and respondents

submitted case briefs on September 15,

1997, and rebuttal briefs on September

22, 1997. A public hearing was not held.

Scope of Investigation

The products covered by this

investigation are hot-rolled iron and

non-alloy steel universal mill plates

(i.e., flat-rolled products rolled on four

faces or in a closed box pass, of a width

exceeding 150 mm but not exceeding

1250 mm and of a thickness of not less

than 4 mm, not in coils and without

patterns in relief), of rectangular shape,

neither clad, plated nor coated with

metal, whether or not painted,

varnished, or coated with plastics or

other nonmetallic substances; and

certain iron and non-alloy steel flatrolled products not in coils, of

rectangular shape, hot-rolled, neither

clad, plated, nor coated with metal,

whether or not painted, varnished, or

coated with plastics or other

nonmetallic substances, 4.75 mm or

more in thickness and of a width which

exceeds 150 mm and measures at least

twice the thickness. Included as subject

merchandise in this petition are flatrolled products of nonrectangular crosssection where such cross-section is

achieved subsequent to the rolling

process (i.e., products which have been

‘‘worked after rolling’’)—for example,

products which have been bevelled or

rounded at the edges. This merchandise
