In accordance with §§ 353.22(a) and

355.22(a) of the regulations, an

interested party as defined by § 353.2(k)

may request in writing that the

Secretary conduct an administrative

review. The Department has changed its

requirements for requesting reviews for

countervailing duty orders. Pursuant to

19 CFR 355.22(a) of the regulations, an

interested party must specify the

individual producers or exporters

covered by the order or suspension

agreement for which they are requesting

a review (Interim Regulations, 60 FR

25130, 25137 (May 11, 1995)).

Therefore, for both antidumping and

countervailing duty reviews, the

interested party must specify for which

individual producers or exporters

covered by an antidumping finding or

an antidumping or countervailing duty

order it is requesting a review, and the

requesting party must state why it

desires the Secretary to review those

particular producers or exporters. If the

interested party intends for the

Secretary to review sales of merchandise

by an exporter (or a producer if that

producer also exports merchandise from

other suppliers) which were produced

in more than one country of origin and

each country of origin is subject to a

separate order, then the interested party

must state specifically, on an order-byorder basis, which exporter(s) the

request is intended to cover.

Seven copies of the request should be

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for

Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S.

Department of Commerce, 14th Street &

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,

DC 20230. The Department also asks

parties to serve a copy of their requests

to the Office of Antidumping/

Countervailing Enforcement, Attention:

Sheila Forbes, in room 3065 of the main

Commerce Building. Further, in

accordance with § 353.31(g) or

§ 355.31(g) of the regulations, a copy of

each request must be served on every

party on the Department’s service list.

The Department will publish in the

Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation

of Administrative Review of

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty

Order, Finding, or Suspended

Investigation’’ for requests received by

the last day of April 1997. If the

Department does not receive, by the last

day of April 1997, a request for review

of entries covered by an order, finding,

or suspended investigation listed in this

notice and for the period identified

above, the Department will instruct the

Customs Service to assess antidumping

or countervailing duties on those entries

at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or

bond for) estimated antidumping or

countervailing duties required on those

entries at the time of entry, or

withdrawal from warehouse, for

consumption and to continue to collect

the cash deposit previously ordered.

This notice is not required by statute

but is published as a service to the

international trading community.

Dated: March 27, 1997.

15656 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 63 / Wednesday, April 2, 1997 / Notices

1 These respondents are China National

Automotive Industry & Export Corporation and

Laizhou CAPCO Machinery Co., Ltd. (collectively

CAIEC/Laizhou CAPCO); Shenyang Honbase

Machinery Co., Ltd. and Lai Zhou Luyuan

Automobile Fittings Co., Ltd. (collectively

Shenyang/Lai Zhou); and Southwest Technical

Import & Export Corporation (Southwest).

The Applicable Statute

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 Rounds Agreements

Act.

Amendment to the Final Determination

We are amending the final

determination of sales at less than fair

value of brake rotors from the People’s

Republic of China (the PRC) to reflect

the correction of ministerial errors made

in the margin calculations in that

determination. We are publishing this

amendment to the final determination

in accordance with 19 CFR 353.28(c).

Case History and Amendment of the

Brake Rotors Final Determination

On February 24, 1997, the Department

of Commerce (the Department) issued

final determinations, pursuant to

section 735 of the Act, that brake drums

and brake rotors from the PRC are being,

or are likely to be sold in the United

States at less than fair value. See Final

Determinations of Sales at Less Than

Fair Value: Brake Drums and Brake

Rotors from the People’s Republic of

China, 62 FR 9160 (February 28, 1997).

On March 10, 13 and 14, 1997, certain

respondents 1 and the petitioner

submitted allegations that ministerial

errors were made in the Department’s

brake rotors final determination. Neither

the respondents nor the petitioner

alleged the existence of ministerial

errors in the Department’s final

determination in the companion brake

drums case.

A ‘‘ministerial error’’ is defined under

19 CFR 353.28 as:

‘‘an error in addition, subtraction, or other

arithmetic function, clerical error resulting

from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the

like, and any other type of unintentional

error which the Secretary considers

ministerial.’’ 19 CFR 353.28(d).

The Department’s regulations provide

that the Department will correct any

ministerial error by amending the final

determination. Below, we discuss only

those ministerial error allegations with

which we agree, and which resulted in

a change to a respondent’s antidumping

margin. Only Southwest made such an

allegation. For a further discussion of

these and all other ministerial error

allegation made in this case, see March

25, 1997, Memorandum to Richard W.

Moreland, Acting Deputy Assistant

Secretary, Import Administration.

Southwest

Southwest alleged that the

Department erred in its valuation and/

or calculations of scrap value,

rustproofing oil, and freight cost for

coke.

We agree and have therefore made the

necessary corrections in the margin

program for these errors.

Conclusion

As described above, after reviewing

the interested parties’ allegations of

clerical errors, we have amended the

calculation of the antidumping margin

for Southwest. Because of the change to

the Southwest rate, we have also revised

the margin for those respondents whose

responses were not examined in this

investigation.

Suspension of Liquidation

In accordance with section 735(d) of

the Act, we are directing the Customs

Service to continue to suspend

liquidation of all entries of brake rotors

from the PRC exported by companies

listed below, that are entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after October 10,

1996, the date on which the Department

published its preliminary

determination. On or after the date of

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register, the Customs Service will

require a cash deposit or posting of a

bond equal to the estimated dumping

margins by which the normal value

exceeds the U.S. price, as shown below.

These suspension of liquidation

instructions will remain in effect until

further notice. Suspension of

liquidation instructions for firms not

listed below remain as described in our

original notice of final determination. 62

FR 9160 (February 28, 1997).

dumping margins for the brake rotors

affirmative, the Department extend the

merchandise, and the preliminary

the final determination.

determination in this case is now no

later than July 24, 1997.
