Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice from Brazil; Amended Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 7, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Irina Itkin, AD/CVD Enforcement Group 
I, Office 2, Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, 
Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-0656.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Act are references 
to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the 
amendments made to the Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). 
In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the 
Department's regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (1999).

Amendment to Final Results

    In accordance with section 751(a) of the Act, on October 11, 2000, 
the Department published the final results of the 1998-1999 
administrative review on frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) from 
Brazil, in which we determined that U.S. sales of FCOJ from Brazil were 
made at less than normal value (65 FR 60406). On October 12, 2000, we 
received an allegation, timely filed pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(c)(2), 
from the respondent, Citrovita Agro Industrial Ltda./Cambuhy MC 
Industrial Ltda./Cambuhy Citrus Comercial e Exportadora (collectively 
``Citrovita''), that the Department made a ministerial error in its 
final results. We received comments on this allegation from the 
petitioners on October 18, 2000.
    After analyzing Citrovita's submission and the petitioners' 
comments, we have determined, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224, that a 
ministerial error was made in our final margin calculations for 
Citrovita. Specifically, we find that we failed to apply the proper 
U.S. dollar/Brazilian real exchange rate from January 13, 1999, through 
April 2, 1999, as outlined in the Concurrence Memorandum dated May 30, 
2000. For a detailed discussion of the ministerial error, as well as 
the Department's analysis, see the memorandum to Louis Apple from the 
Team, dated October 31, 2000.
    Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending 
the final results of the 1998-1999 antidumping duty administrative 
review on FCOJ from Brazil. The revised dumping margin is as follows:
