the PRC-wide rate, 160.80 percent; and

(4) for all other non-PRC exporters of the

subject merchandise, the cash deposit

rate will be the rate applicable to the

PRC supplier of that exporter. These

deposit requirements 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 19 CFR

351.402(f)(2) 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

Secretary’s presumption that

reimbursement of antidumping duties

occurred and the subsequent assessment

of double antidumping duties.

This notice also serves as a reminder

to parties subject to administrative

protective order (APO) of their

responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written

notification of return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and the terms of an APO is a

sanctionable violation.

These final results of administrative

review are issued and published in

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and

777(i)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)

and 19 U.S.C. 1677f(i)(1)).

Time Limits

Statutory Time Limits

Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act

of 1930, as amended (the Act) requires

the Department of Commerce (the

Department) to make a preliminary

determination within 245 days after the

last day of the anniversary month of an

order for which a review is requested

and a final determination within 120

days after the date on which the

preliminary determination is published.

However, if it is not practicable to

complete the review within these time

periods, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act

allows the Department to extend the

time limit for the preliminary

determination to a maximum of 365

days and for the final determination to

180 days (or 300 days if the Department

does not extend the time limit for the

preliminary determination) from the

date of publication of the preliminary

determination.

Background

On February 28, 2000, the Department

published a notice of initiation of

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on potassium

permanganate from the People’s

Republic of China, covering the period

January 1, 1999 through December 31,

1999 (65 FR 10466). On February 27,

2001, the Department published in the

Federal Register the preliminary results

of administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on potassium

permanganate from the People’s

Republic of China. See Potassium

Structural Steel Beams From Korea:

Final Results of Changed

Circumstances Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

changed circumstances review.

SUMMARY: On March 21, 2001, the

Department of Commerce

(‘‘Department’’) published the

preliminary results of its changed

circumstances review examining

whether Inchon Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.

(‘‘Inchon’’) is the successor-in-interest to

the merger of Inchon Iron & Steel Co.

Ltd. and Kangwon Industries, Ltd.

(‘‘Kangwon’’). See Structural Steel

Beams from Korea, Preliminary Results

of Changed Circumstances

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review, 66 FR 15834 (March 21, 2001)

(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). We gave

interested parties 21 days to comment

on our preliminary results. However, no

interested parties have provided

comments and no request for a hearing

has been received by the Department.

We have not changed our results from

those presented in the preliminary

results of the review.

As a result of this review, the

Department finds that Inchon is the

successor-in-interest to the merger of

Inchon and Kangwon, and thus, Inchon

should retain the deposit rate assigned

to Inchon by the Department for all

entries of subject merchandise produced

or exported by the post-merger entity.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 29, 2001.

Background

The Department published in the

antidumping duty order on structural

steel beams from Korea. See Structural

Steel Beams from Korea: Notice of

Antidumping Duty Order 65 FR 50502

(August 18, 2000). In an August 30,

2000 letter to the Department,

petitioners in the above case requested

that the Department conduct a changed

circumstances review pursuant to

section 751(b) of the Act to determine

whether Inchon should properly be

considered the successor firm to the premerger Inchon and Kangwon, and if, as

such, Inchon should maintain the cash

deposit rate assigned to Inchon in the

investigation. See Final Determination

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value:

Structural Steel Beams from Korea, 65

FR 41437 (July 5, 2000) (as amended 65

FR 50501 (August 18, 2000)). We

published a notice of initiation of a

changed circumstances review on

September 15, 2000 to determine

whether Inchon is the successor to the

merger of Inchon and Kangwon. See

issued questionnaires on September 29,

2000 and December 1, 2000 and

received responses on November 6,

2000 and December 15, 2000. As

provided in section 782(i) of the Act,

from January 17–19, 2001, the

Department conducted an on-site

verification of the information on the

record. See January 29, 2001

Verification Report at 1. (A public

version is located in Room B–099 of the

main Department building.) On March

21, 2001, the Department published in

the Federal Register the preliminary

results of its antidumping duty changed

circumstance review. As noted above,

the Department did not receive

comments from interested parties.

The Department is conducting the

changed circumstances review in

accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(f).

Scope of Review

The products covered by this review

are doubly-symmetric shapes, whether

hot-or cold-rolled, drawn, extruded,

formed or finished, having at least one

dimension of at least 80 mm (3.2 inches

or more), whether of carbon or alloy

(other than stainless) steel, and whether

or not drilled, punched, notched,

painted, coated or clad. These products

include, but are not limited to, wideflange beams (‘‘W’’ shapes), bearing

piles (‘‘HP’’ shapes), standard beams

(‘‘S’’ or ‘‘I’’ shapes), and M-shapes.

All products that meet the physical

and metallurgical descriptions provided

above are within the scope of this

investigation unless otherwise

excluded. The following products are

outside and/or specifically excluded

from the scope of this investigation:

structural steel beams greater than 400

pounds per linear foot or with a web or

section height (also known as depth)

over 40 inches.

The merchandise subject to this

investigation is classified in the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) at

merchandise under investigation is

dispositive.

Successorship

On the basis of the record developed

in this proceeding, we determine that

Inchon is the successor-in-interest to the

merger of Inchon and Kangwon for the

purposes of determining antidumping

duty liability. For a complete discussion

of the basis for this decision, see the

‘‘Preliminary Results.’’
