Applicable Statute and Regulations

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On April 30, 2001, the Department

received a timely request from ESMT, in

accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(d), for

a new shipper review of the

antidumping duty order on static

random access memory semiconductors

(SRAMs) from Taiwan. This order has

an April anniversary date. See Notice of

Final Determination of Sales at Less

Than Fair Value: Static Random Access

Memory Semiconductors from Taiwan,

63 FR 8090 (Feb. 23, 1998). Therefore,

the request is timely pursuant to 19 CFR

351.214(c). In accordance with 19 CFR

351.214(b)(2)(i) and (iii)(A), ESMT has

certified (1) that it did not export

SRAMs to the United States during the

period of investigation (POI), and (2)

that since the investigation was

initiated, it never has been affiliated

with any exporter or producer who

exported SRAMs to the United States

during the POI, including those not

individually examined during the

investigation. Also, in accordance with

19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), ESMT

submitted documentation establishing

(1) the date on which it first shipped the

subject merchandise to the United

States, (2) the volume of that shipment

and subsequent shipments, and (3) the

date of the first sale to an unaffiliated

customer in the United States.

Therefore, in accordance with section

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR

351.214(b), and based on information on

the record, we are initiating the new

shipper review as requested.

Initiation of Review

In accordance with section

751(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR

351.214(d)(1), we are initiating a new

shipper review of the antidumping duty

order on SRAMs from Taiwan. On May

24, 2001, ESMT agreed to waive the

time limits of 19 CFR 351.214(i), in

order that the Department, pursuant to

19 CFR 351.214(j)(3), may conduct this

review concurrent with the

administrative review of this order for

the period April 1, 2000, through March

31, 2001, as requested pursuant to

section 751(a) of the Act. Therefore, we

intend to issue the preliminary results

of this review not later than 245 days

after the last day of the anniversary

month. In accordance with our practice,

all other provisions of 19 CFR 351.214

will apply to ESMT throughout the

duration of this new shipper review.

Concurrent with publication of this

notice, and in accordance with 19 CFR

351.214(e), we will instruct the U.S.

Customs Service to suspend liquidation

of any unliquidated entries of the

subject merchandise for the relevant

exporter/producer and to allow, at the

option of the importer, the posting, until

the completion of the review, of a bond

or security in lieu of a cash deposit for

each entry of the merchandise exported

by the above-listed company.

Interested parties that need access to

the proprietary information in this new

shipper review should submit

applications for disclosure under

administrative protective orders in

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 19

CFR 351.306.

This initiation and this notice are in

accordance with section 751(a) of the

Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d).
