SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 Rounds

Agreements Act. In addition, unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the

Department of Commerce’s (the

Department’s) regulations are to the

regulations published on May 19, 1997

(62 FR 27296).

Background

On April 30, 1997, the Department

published in the Federal Register (63

FR 23720) the preliminary results of the

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on

acetylsalicylic acid from Turkey (52 FR

32030, August 25, 1987). The review

covers one company, Atabay Kimya

Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (AKS), a Turkish

manufacturer/exporter of the subject

merchandise. The Department has now

completed the administrative review in

accordance with section 751 of the Act.

Scope of Review

The product covered by this review is

acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) containing

no additives, other than inactive

substances (such as starch, lactose,

cellulose, or coloring material), and/or

active substances in concentrations less

than that specified for particular nonprescription drug combinations of

aspirin and active substances as

published in the Handbook of NonPrescription Drugs, eighth edition,

American Pharmaceutical Association,

and is not in tablet, capsule or similar

forms for direct human consumption.

This product is currently classified

under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule

(HTS) subheading 2918.22.10. The HTS

item number is provided for

convenience and customs purposes. The

written descriptions of the scope of this

proceeding remains dispositive.

Final Results of Review

We gave interested parties an

opportunity to comment on the

preliminary results of review, but we

received no comments. Therefore, the

final results of review are the same as

those presented in our preliminary

results. As a result of the review, we

determine that the weighted-average

dumping margin is as follows:

Manufacturer/exporter Margin (percent)

Atabay Kimya Sanayi ve

Ticaret A.S ............................ 0.00

The Department will issue

appraisement instructions directly to

the Customs Service. We will instruct

the Customs Service not to assess

antidumping duties on the merchandise

subject to review.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective for all

shipments of the subject merchandise

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the

publication date of the final results of

this administrative review, as provided

for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)

The cash deposit rate for AKS will be

zero percent; (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, any prior review, or the

original less-than-fair-value (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) if neither the

exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm

covered in this or any previous review,

the cash deposit rate will be 32.98

percent. This is the ‘‘All Others’’ rate

from the LTFV investigation. (See

Antidumping Duty Order;

Acetylsalicylic Acid from Turkey, 52 FR

32030 (August 25, 1987).) These deposit

rates 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 section

351.402(f)(2) of the Department’s

regulations 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

Department’s presumption that

reimbursement of antidumping duties

occurred and the subsequent assessment

of doubled antidumping duties.

This administrative review and notice

are in accordance with sections

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

Dated: June 11, 1998.

Robert S. LaRussa,

Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration.
