Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 11 / Friday, January 16, 1998 / Notices 2671

Claras, we made no LOT adjustment for

comparisons to EP.

Finally, with respect to Camanchaca,

we did not perform a level-of-trade

analysis because this company does not

have a viable comparison market.

Currency Conversions

We made currency conversions in

accordance with section 773A of the

Act. The Department’s preferred source

for daily exchange rates is the Federal

Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve Bank

publishes daily exchange rates for

Japanese yen, but not for Chilean pesos.

For purposes of the preliminary results,

we made conversions of figures

denominated in Japanese yen based on

the official exchange rates published by

the Federal Reserve. For conversions of

figures involving Chilean pesos, we

relied instead on daily exchange rates

published by Dow Jones News/Retrieval

on-line system.

Verification

In accordance with section 782(i) of

the Act, we intend to verify information

determined to be acceptable for use in

making our final determination.

Suspension of Liquidation

In accordance with section 733(d) of

the Act, we are directing the Customs

Service to suspend liquidation of all

entries of fresh Atlantic salmon from

Chile, except for subject merchandise

produced and exported by Camanchaca,

Mares Australes, and Marine Harvest

(which have de minimis weightedaverage margins), that are entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the date of

publication of this notice in the Federal

Register. We are also instructing the

Customs Service to require a cash

deposit or the posting of a bond equal

to the weighted-average amount by

which the NV exceeds the EP or CEP, as

indicated in the chart below. These

instructions suspending liquidation will

remain in effect until further notice. We

note that, as stated in the Case History

section of the notice above, we have

extended the provisional measures from

four months to no more than six

months.

The weighted-average dumping

margins are as follows:

Exporter/Manufacturer

Weightedaverage

margin percentage

Aguas Claras ............................ 3.31

Eicosal ...................................... 8.27

Camanchaca ............................. 0.18

Mares Australes ........................ 1.21

Marine Harvest ......................... 1.87

Exporter/Manufacturer

Weightedaverage

margin percentage

All Others .................................. 5.79

Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act directs

the Department to exclude all zero and

de minimis weighted-average dumping

margins, as well as dumping margins

determined entirely under facts

available under section 776 of the Act,

from the calculation of the ‘‘all others’’

rate. We have excluded the de minimis

dumping margins for Camanchaca,

Mares Australes, and Marine Harvest

from the calculation of the ‘‘all others’’

rate. No dumping margins were based

entirely on facts available.

ITC Notification

In accordance with section 733(f) of

the Act, we have notified the ITC of our

determination. If our final antidumping

determination is affirmative, the ITC

will determine whether these imports

are materially injuring, or threaten

material injury to, the U.S. industry.

The deadline for that ITC determination

would be the later of 120 days after the

date of this preliminary determination

or 45 days after the date of our final

determination.

Assistant Secretary for Import

Section 774 of the Act provides that

the Department will hold a hearing to

afford interested parties an opportunity

to comment on arguments raised in case

or rebuttal briefs, provided that such a

hearing is requested by any interested

party. If a request for a hearing is made,

the hearing will tentatively be held on

Monday, April 28, 1998, at 8:30 A.M.,

at the U.S. Department of Commerce,
