application indicates that the majority

of the plant’s current output is shipped

to BMW Manufacturing Corporation’s

auto plant in Spartanburg, South

Carolina. Some two percent of the

ZSUSA plant’s shipments are exported.

FTZ procedures would exempt

ZSUSA from Customs duty payments on

the foreign components used in export

production. On its domestic sales,

ZSUSA would be able to choose the

duty rate during Customs entry

procedures that applies to finished auto

exhaust systems (2.7%) for the foreign

inputs noted above, except that foreign

status stainless steel pipe would be

admitted to FTZ 38 in privileged foreign

status (19 CFR 146.41), making such

materials subject to the full duty

normally applicable. The motor vehicle

duty rate (2.5%) could apply to the

foreign components in the finished

exhaust systems, which are not in

privileged foreign status, and that are

shipped to the BMW plant (FTZ

Subzone 38A) or other U.S. motor

vehicle assembly plants with subzone

status for manufacture into finished

motor vehicles under FTZ procedures.

FTZ procedures would also exempt the

foreign components that become scrap

during the production process (about

0.08% for stainless steel pipe; 4% for

the other foreign items) from Customs

duties. The request indicates that the

savings from FTZ procedures would

help improve the ZSUSA plant’s

international competitiveness.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

Public comment on the application is

invited from interested parties.

Submissions (original and three copies)

shall be addressed to the Board’s

Executive Secretary at the address

below. The closing period for their

receipt is May 5, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to May 19, 1997).

A copy of the application and the

accompanying exhibits will be available

Colombia: Amended Final Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of amended final results

of antidumping duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: On August 19, 1996, the

Department of Commerce (the

Department) published in the Federal

Register the final results of three

concurrent administrative reviews of the

antidumping duty order on certain fresh

cut flowers from Colombia. These

reviews cover a total of 348 producers

and/or exporters of fresh cut flowers to

the United States for at least one of the

following periods: March 1, 1991

through February 29, 1992; March 1,

1992 through February 28, 1993; and

March 1, 1993 through February 28,

1994. We are now amending the final

results to correct certain ministerial

errors we made in our calculations for

the 93/94 review period.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 5, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lyn

Johnson or Richard Rimlinger, Import

Administration, International Trade

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the statute and to the

Department’s regulations are references

to the provisions as they existed on

December 31, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On August 19, 1996, the Department

published in the Federal Register (61

FR 42833) the final results of three

concurrent administrative reviews of the

antidumping duty order on certain fresh

cut flowers from Colombia. Imports

covered by these reviews are shipments

of certain fresh cut flowers from

Colombia (standard carnations,

miniature (spray) carnations, standard

chrysanthemums and pompon

chrysanthemums). The reviews covered

a total of 348 producers and/or

exporters of fresh cut flowers to the

United States for at least one of the

following periods: March 1, 1991

through February 29, 1992; March 1,

1992 through February 28, 1993; and

March 1, 1993 through February 28,

1994.

After publication of our final results,

we received timely allegations of

ministerial and clerical errors from

several respondents. We reviewed the

allegations and agreed that we made

certain ministerial errors in our

calculations for the final result for the

93/94 period for three respondents:

Grupo Papagayo (Papagayo Group),

Floricola La Gaitana, S.A., and Agricola

Celestina & La Maria Ltda., (AGA

Group). Although these final results are

currently the subject of litigation before

the U.S. Court of International Trade,

the Court granted permission to correct

these errors on February 12, 1997.

As a result of correcting the

ministerial errors, some weightedaverage rates for the period have

changed. See Memorandum to the file

dated December 4, 1996, for Grupo

Papagayo, and memoranda to the file

dated September 6, 1996, for Floricola

La Gaitana and the AGA Group. We

have corrected these errors only for the

93/94 review period because only this

review period will affect the current

deposit rates.

Amended Final Results of Review

After correcting for ministerial errors,

we have determined the following

weighted-average margins to exist for

the following producers or exporters for

the period March 1, 1993 through

February 28, 1994:

Producer/exporter 93/94

Papagayo Group ............................. 3.88

Agricola Papagayo Ltda.

Inversiones Calypso S.A.

Floricola La Gaitana, S.A ............... 0.00

AGA Group ..................................... 9.99

Agricola la Celestina

Agricola la Maria

Agricola Benilda Ltda.

The Department will instruct the

Customs Service to assess antidumping

duties on all appropriate entries.

Individual differences between United

States price and foreign market value

may vary from the percentages as stated

above. The Department will issue

appraisement instructions on each

exporter directly to the Customs

Service.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective upon

publication of these amended final

results of administrative review for all

shipments of the subject merchandise

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption, as provided by section

751(a)(1) of the Act, on or after the

publication date of these amended final
10024 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 43 / Wednesday, March 5, 1997 / Notices

results of review: (1) The cash deposit

rate for the named companies will be

the rates as listed above; (2) for

previously reviewed or investigated

companies not listed above, the cash

deposit rate will continue to be the

company-specific rate published for the

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is

not a firm covered in this review, a prior

review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate

will be the rate established for the most

recent period for the manufacturer of

the merchandise; and (4) the cash

deposit rate for all other manufacturers

or exporters will be the ‘‘all other’’ rate

of 3.10 percent. This is the rate

established during the LTFV

investigation.

These deposit requirements shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

review.

This notice also serves as a final

reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 to

file a certificate regarding the

reimbursement of antidumping duties

prior to liquidation of the relevant

entries during this review period.

Failure to comply with this requirement

could result in the Secretary’s

presumption that reimbursement of

antidumping duties occurred and the

subsequent assessment of double

antidumping duties.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective order (APO) of their

responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written

notification of return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and the terms of an APO is a

sanctionable violation.

These amended final results of

administrative review and notice are in

accordance with section 751(f) of the

Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(f)) and 19

CFR 353.28.

Dated: February 27, 1997.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.

Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware From

Taiwan: Final Results of Changed

Circumstances Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review, and Revocation

in Part of Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

changed circumstances antidumping

duty administrative review, and

revocation in part of antidumping duty

order.

SUMMARY: On January 10, 1997, the

Department published a notice of

initiation of a changed circumstances

antidumping duty administrative review

and preliminary results of review with

intent to revoke, in part, the

antidumping duty order on porcelainon-steel (POS) cooking ware from

Taiwan. We are now revoking this order

in part, with regard to teakettles, based

on the fact that domestic parties have

expressed no interest in the importation

or sale of teakettles imported from

Taiwan.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 5, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Amy S. Wei or James Terpstra, Office of

Antidumping/Countervailing Duty

Enforcement, Office 4, Import

Administration, International Trade

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230;

telephone (202) 482–4737.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 Agreements Act

(URAA). In addition, unless otherwise

indicated, all citations to the

Department’s regulations are to the

current regulations, as amended by the

interim regulations published in the

Federal Register on May 11, 1995 (60

FR 25130).

Background

On September 12, 1996, General

Housewares Corporation (GHC)

requested that the Department conduct

a changed circumstances administrative

review to determine whether to partially

revoke the order with regard to imports

of teakettles from Taiwan. In its request,

GHC stated that it is the only U.S.

producer of POS cooking ware and that,

in the original petition, it requested that

the scope of order include teakettles.

GHC also stated that it no longer

manufactures POS teakettles and has no

further interest in the antidumping duty

order with respect to teakettles.

We preliminarily determined that

petitioner’s affirmative statement of no

interest constituted changed

circumstances sufficient to warrant a

partial revocation of this order.

Consequently, on January 10, 1997, the

Department published a notice of

initiation and preliminary results of

changed circumstances antidumping

duty administrative review and intent to

revoke this order in part (62 FR 1434).

We gave interested parties an

opportunity to comment on the

preliminary results of this changed

circumstances review. We received no

comments.

Scope of Review

The products covered by this

antidumping order are POS cooking

ware, including teakettles, which do not

have self-contained electric heating

elements. All of the foregoing are

constructed of steel and are enameled or

glazed with vitreous glasses.

Kitchenware is not subject to this order.

See Antidumping Duty Order;

Porcelain-on-Steel Cooking Ware from

Taiwan, 51 FR 43416 (December 2,

1986).

The merchandise covered by this

changed circumstances review are

teakettles from Taiwan. Imports of

teakettles are currently classifiable

under the harmonized tariff schedule

(HTS) subheading 7323.94.00.10. The

HTS subheading is provided for

convenience and U.S. Customs

purposes. Our written description of the

scope of this proceeding is dispositive.

The order with regard to imports of

other POS cooking ware is not affected

by this request. Thus, pursuant to the

Department’s determination to revoke in

part the antidumping order on POS

cooking ware from Taiwan with respect

to teakettles, the scope of the

antidumping order on POS cooking

ware from Taiwan now reads as follows:

The products covered by this

antidumping duty order are POS

cooking ware which do not have selfcontained electric heating elements. All

of the foregoing are constructed of steel

and are enameled or glazed with

vitreous glasses. Kitchenware and

teakettles are not subject to this order.

Final Results of Review; Partial

Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order

The affirmative statement of no

interest by petitioner in POS cooking

ware from Taiwan constitutes changed

circumstances sufficient to warrant
