to Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair

Value; Color Picture Tubes From Japan, 53 FR 430

(January 7, 1988).

antidumping duty orders on color

picture tubes (‘‘CPTs’’) from Canada,

Japan, the Republic of Korea (‘‘Korea’’),

and Singapore, is not likely to lead to

continuation or recurrence of material

injury to an industry in the United

States within a reasonably foreseeable

time (65 FR 17901 (April 5, 2000)).

Therefore, pursuant to section 751(d)(2)

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(1), the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) is revoking the

antidumping duty orders on CPTs from

Canada, Japan, Korea, and Singapore.

Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of

the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2), the

effective date of revocation is January 1,

2000.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2000.

Background

On March 1, 1999, the Department

initiated, and the Commission

instituted, sunset reviews (64 FR 9970

and 64 FR 10014, respectively) of the

antidumping duty orders on CPTs from

Canada, Japan, Korea, and Singapore,

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. As

a result of these reviews, the

Department found that revocation of the

antidumping duty orders would be

likely to lead to continuation or

recurrence of dumping and notified the

Commission of the magnitude of the

margin likely to prevail were the

antidumping orders revoked (see Final

Results of Expedited Sunset Reviews:

Color Picture Tubes from Canada,

Japan, the Republic of Korea, and

Singapore, 64 FR 48354 (September 3,

1999)).

On April 5, 2000, the Commission

determined, pursuant to section 751(c)

of the Act, that revocation of the

antidumping duty orders on CPTs from

Canada, Japan, Korea, and Singapore

would not likely lead to continuation or

recurrence of material injury to an

industry in the United States within a

reasonably foreseeable time (see Color

Picture Tubes from Canada, Japan,

Korea and Singapore, 65 FR 17901

(April 5, 2000)).

Scope

The merchandise subject to these

antidumping duty orders is color

picture tubes from Canada, Japan,

Korea, and Singapore. The subject

merchandise is defined as cathode ray

tubes suitable for use in the

manufacture of color television

receivers or other color entertainment

display devices intended for television

viewing. Where a CPT is shipped and

imported together with all parts

necessary for assembly into a complete

television receiver (i.e., as a ‘‘kit’’), the

CPT is excluded from the scope of these

orders. In other words, a kit and a fully

assembled television are a separate class

or kind of merchandise from the CPT.

Accordingly, the Department

determined that, when CPTs are

shipped together with other parts as

television receiver kits, they are

excluded from the scope of the order.

With respect to CPTs which are

imported for customs purposes as

incomplete televison assemblies, we

determined that these entries are

included within the scope of these

investigations unless both of the

following criteria are met: (1) The CPT

is ‘‘physically integrated’’ with other

television receiver components in such

a manner as to constitute one

inseparable amalgam and (2) the CPT

does not constitute a significant portion

of the cost or value of the items being

imported.1 Such merchandise was

classifiable under Harmonized Tariff

Schedule (HTS) item numbers

8540.11.00.10, 8540.11.00.20,

8540.11.00.30, 8540.11.00.40,

8540.11.00.50 and 8540.11.00.60.

However, due to changes in the HTS,

the subject merchandise is currently

classifiable under HTS items

8540.11.10, 8540.11.24, 8540.11.28,

8540.11.30, 8540.11.44, 8540.11.48, and

8540.11.50. The HTS item numbers are

provided for convenience and customs

purposes only. The written description

remains dispositive.

Determination

As a result of the determination by the

Commission that revocation of these

antidumping duty orders is not likely to

lead to continuation or recurrence of

material injury to an industry in the

United States, the Department, pursuant

to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19

CFR 351.222(i)(1), is revoking the

antidumping duty orders on CPTs from

Canada, Japan, Korea, and Singapore.

Pursuant to section 751(c)(6)(A)(iv) of

the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(ii), this

revocation is effective January 1, 2000.

The Department will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service to discontinue the

suspension of liquidation and collection

of cash deposit rates on entries of the

subject merchandise entered or

withdrawn from warehouse on or after

January 1, 2000 (the effective date). The

Department will complete any pending

administrative reviews of these orders

and will conduct administrative reviews

of subject merchandise entered prior to

the effective date of revocation in

response to appropriately filed requests

for review.

Static Random Access Memory

Semiconductors From Taiwan;

Amended Final Results of

Antidumping Duty New Shipper

Review

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to 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’s regulations are to 19

CFR part 351 (1999).

Amendment to Final Results

In accordance with section 751(a) of

the Act, on March 8, 2000, the

Department published the final results

of the 1997–1998 new shipper review

on static random access memory

semiconductors (SRAMs) from Taiwan,

in which we determined that U.S. sales

of SRAMs from Taiwan were made at

less than normal value (65 FR 12214).

On March 13, 2000, we received an

allegation, timely filed pursuant to 19

CFR 351.224(c)(2), from the petitioner,

Micron Technology, Inc. (Micron), that

the Department made a ministerial error

in its final results. We did not receive

comments from GSI Technology, Inc.

(GSI Technology), the sole respondent.

After analyzing Micron’s submission,

we have determined, in accordance with

19 CFR 351.224, that a ministerial error

was made in our final margin

calculation for GSI Technology.

Specifically, we find that we failed to

properly apply the hierarchy for

defining contemporaneous sales as set

forth in 19 CFR 351.414(e)(2) when

matching U.S. and home market sales.

This resulted in our making certain noncontemporaneous comparisons for

purposes of the final results.

In addition to the alleged error

identified by Micron, we find that our

calculations contained two additional

ministerial errors which were not

identified by any party to this

proceeding. Specifically, we find that

we overstated general and

administrative (G&A) expenses by

including research and development

expenses in the costs to which the G&A

rate was applied, and our calculation of

the import value used to compute the

assessment rate contained a

mathematical error.

For a detailed discussion of the

ministerial errors noted above, as well

as the Department’s analysis, see the

memorandum to Louis Apple from the

Team, dated April 11, 2000.

Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR

351.224(e), we are amending the final

results of the 1997–1998 antidumping

duty new shipper review on SRAMs

from Taiwan. The revised weightaveraged dumping margin is as follows:

Exporter/manufacturer

Original

final margin percentage

Revised

final margin percentage

GSI Technology ........ 7.38 9.05

Scope of the Review

The products covered by this review

are synchronous, asynchronous, and

specialty 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 review includes modules

containing SRAMs. Such modules

include single in-line processing

modules, single in-line memory

modules, dual in-line memory modules,

memory cards, or other collections of

SRAMs, whether unmounted or

mounted on a circuit board. The scope

of this review 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 review 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 review is dispositive.

This administrative review and notice

are in accordance with sections

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

Dated: April 11, 2000.

Continuation of Antidumping Duty

Orders and Countervailing Duty

Orders: Top-of-the-Stove Stainless

Steel Cooking Ware From Taiwan and

Korea

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of continuation of

antidumping orders and countervailing

duty orders: Top-of-the-stove stainless

steel cooking ware from Taiwan and

Korea.

SUMMARY: On July 27, 1999, and

September 3, 1999, the Department of

Commerce (‘‘the Department’’),

pursuant to sections 751(c) and 752 of

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the

Act’’), determined that revocation of the

antidumping duty orders and

countervailing duty orders on top-ofthe-stove stainless steel cooking ware

(‘‘TOS cookware’’) from Taiwan and the

Republic of Korea (‘‘Korea’’) would

likely lead to continuation or recurrence

of dumping and countervailable

subsidies (64 FR 40570 (July 27, 1999)

and 64 FR 48372 and 48374 (September

3, 1999)). On April 5, 2000, the

International Trade Commission (‘‘the

Commission’’), pursuant to section

751(c) of the Act, determined that

revocation of the antidumping duty

orders and countervailing duty orders
