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

by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act

(URAA). In addition, unless otherwise

indicated, all references to the

Department’s regulations are to the

Department’s regulations set forth at 19

CFR Part 351 (May 19, 1997).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On December 30, 1997, respondents,

SeAH Steel Corporation (SeAH),

requested an administrative review of

certain welded stainless steel pipe from

Korea for the period December 1, 1996

through November 30, 1997 pursuant to

19 CFR 351.213(b). On February 27,

1998, in accordance with 19 CFR

351.221(b), we initiated an

administrative review of this order. On

April 3, 1998, we received a timely

withdrawal of request for review from

respondents.

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d) of the

Department’s regulations, the

Department may allow a party that

requests an administrative review to

withdraw such request not later than 90

days after the date of publication of the

notice of initiation of the administrative

review.

Because respondent’s request for

termination was submitted within the

90-day time limit and there were no

requests for review from other interested

parties, we are terminating this review.

This termination of administrative

review and notice are in accordance

with section 751(a)(1) of the Act 19 CFR

351.213(d).

Dated: March 16, 1998.

Notice of Amended Antidumping Duty

Order of Sales at Less Than Fair Value:

Static Random Access Memory

Semiconductors From Taiwan

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 22, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Shawn Thompson or David Genovese,

Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, U.S. Department

of Commerce, 14th Street and

or (202) 482–0498, respectively.

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (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 of Commerce’s (the

Department’s) regulations are to the

regulations codified at 19 CFR Part 353

(April 1, 1996).

Scope of Order

The products covered by this order

are synchronous, asynchronous, and

specialty static random access memory

semiconductors (SRAMs) from Taiwan,

whether assembled or unassembled.

Assembled SRAMs include all package

types. Unassembled SRAMs include

processed wafers or die, uncut die and

cut die. Processed wafers produced in

Taiwan, but packaged, or assembled

into memory modules, in a third

country, are included in the scope;

processed wafers produced in a third

country and assembled or packaged in

Taiwan are not included in the scope.

The scope of this order includes

modules containing SRAMs. Such

modules include single in-line

processing modules (SIPs), single in-line

memory modules (SIMMs), dual in-line

memory modules (DIMMs), memory

cards, or other collections of SRAMs,

whether unmounted or mounted on a

circuit board.

The scope of this order does not

include SRAMs that are physically

integrated with other components of a

motherboard in such a manner as to

constitute one inseparable amalgam

(i.e., SRAMs soldered onto

motherboards).

The SRAMs within the scope of this

order are currently classifiable under

the subheadings 8542.13.8037 through

8542.13.8049, 8473.30.10 through

8473.30.90, and 8542.13.8005 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTSUS). Although the

HTSUS subheadings are provided for

convenience and customs purposes, the

written description of the scope of this

order is dispositive.

Amended Antidumping Duty Order

On April 9, 1998, the International

Trade Commission (ITC) notified the

Department of its final determination,

pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the

Act, that an industry in the United

States is materially injured by reason of

imports of static random access memory

semiconductors (SRAMs) from Taiwan.

On April 16, 1998, in accordance with

section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the

Department published the antidumping

duty order on SRAMs from Taiwan.

However, the antidumping duty order

published on April 16, 1998, only

included the weighted-average dumping

margins for the four companies for

which the Department calculated a

margin based on company-specific data

(i.e., Alliance Semiconductor

Corporation, Integrated Silicon

Solutions (Taiwan), Inc., United

Microelectronics Corporation, and

Winbond Electronics Corporation); it

did not include the weighted-average

dumping margins for the three

companies for which the Department

relied on the facts otherwise available to

calculate a margin (i.e., Advance

Microelectronics Products Inc., Best

Integrated Technology, Inc., and Texas

Instruments-Acer Incorporated, all of

which either did not respond to the

Department’s questionnaire or only

provided a partial response). This

amended order is being published to

correct this error.

In accordance with section 736(a)(1)

of the Act, the Department will direct

Customs officers to assess, upon further

advice by the administering authority,

antidumping duties equal to the amount

by which the normal value of the

merchandise exceeds the export price or

constructed export price of the

merchandise for all entries of SRAMs

from Taiwan. These antidumping duties

will be assessed on all unliquidated

entries of SRAMs from Taiwan entered,

or withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after October 1,

1997, the date on which the Department

published its preliminary determination

in the Federal Register (62 FR 51442).

On or after the date of publication of

this notice in the Federal Register,

Customs officers must require, at the
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 77 /Wednesday, April 22, 1998 / Notices 19899

same time as importers would normally

deposit estimated duties on this

merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the

estimated weighted-average dumping

margins as noted below. The ‘‘All

Others’’ rate applies to all exporters of

SRAMs not specifically listed below.

The ad valorem weighted-average

dumping margins are as follows:

Manufacturer/producer/exporter

Weighted-average margin

Advance Microelectronics Products Inc ............................................................................................................................................... 113.85

Alliance Semiconductor Corporation ................................................................................................................................................... 50.15

This amended order is published

pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act

and 19 CFR 353.21.

Dated: April 17, 1998.
