Certain Iron-Metal Castings From

India: Amended Final Results of

Countervailing Duty Administrative

Review Pursuant to Settlement

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of amendment to final

results of countervailing duty

administrative review.

SUMMARY: On August 22, 1991, the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) published in the Federal

Register its final results of

administrative review of the

countervailing duty order on certain

iron-metal castings from India for the

period 1987 (56 FR 41658). Pursuant to

a settlement agreement, the Department

has recalculated the countervailing duty

rates. The final countervailing duty rates

for this review period are listed below

in the Final Results of Review section of

this notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 4, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Robert Copyak, Office 6, Group II,

Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, U.S. Department

of Commerce, 14th Street and

Constitution Avenue, NW Washington,

DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482–2786.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

22, 1991, the Department published the

final results of its administrative review

of the countervailing duty order on

certain iron-metal castings from India

for the period January 1, 1987 through

December 31, 1987. See Final Results of

Countervailing Duty Administrative

Review: Certain Iron-Metal Castings

from India, 56 FR 41658. Subsequently,

respondents challenged the final results

before the Court of International Trade

(CIT). The primary issue involved the

calculation of the program rates for the

subsidies provided under India’s

International Price Reimbursement

Scheme (IPRS). The IPRS is a program

through which the Government of India

(GOI) provided rebates to castings

exporters that purchased domesticallyproduced pig iron at prices set by the

GOI. According to the GOI, these rebates

were calculated to equal the differences

between the higher domestic prices

actually paid and the lower alternative

prices available from sources outside of

India.

As the IPRS was also the subject of

litigation for the review period 1985 in

Creswell v. United States, Consolidated

Court No. 91–01–00012 (Creswell),

litigation for the review period 1987 was

stayed pending finalization of Creswell.

After the CIT affirmed the Department’s

remand determination for the 1985

administrative review (see Creswell, slip

op. 98–139 (CIT Sept. 29, 1998)), the

Department published a notice of

amended final results in accordance

with that opinion. See Certain Ironmetal Castings from India: Amended

Final Results of Countervailing Duty

Administrative Review In Accordance

With Decision Upon Remand, 63 FR

67858 (December 9, 1998). In lieu of

pursuing further litigation with respect

to the administrative review of the

review period 1987, the parties have

entered into a settlement agreement.

The parties agreed to countervailing

duty rates that were calculated based on

the methodology approved by the CIT in

Creswell. On December 10, 1999, the

CIT approved the settlement agreement

and dismissed the lawsuit. See Super

Castings, v. United States, Slip Op. 99–

131, Consol. Ct. No. 91–09–00659 (CIT

December 10, 1999).

Final Results of Review

Pursuant to the settlement agreement,

we recalculated the company-specific

and all-other subsidy rates for the

period January 1, 1987, through

December 31, 1987. The amended final

countervailing duty rates are:

Manufacturer/exporter Revised

rates (%)

Crescent Foundry Co. Pvt. Ltd. .. 8.25

Kejriwal Iron & Steel Works ....... 7.18

RSI India Pvt. Ltd. ...................... 9.42

Uma Iron & Steel Co. ................. 7.56

Super Castings (India) ................ 37.96

Select Steel ................................ 37.17

Commex ..................................... 24.39

All Others .................................... 18.62

The Department will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service (Customs) to assess

countervailing duties on all appropriate

entries. The Department will issue

liquidation instructions directly to

Customs. The above rates will not affect

the cash deposit requirements currently

in effect.

This amendment to the final results of

countervailing duty administrative

review notice is in accordance with

section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act, as

amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)), 19 CFR

351.213, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
