Request for Monitoring of Helical

Spring Lock Washers From Russia and

Mexico

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments; request for monitoring of

helical spring lock washers from Russia

and Mexico.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August

19, 1994, Shakeproof Industrial

Products Division of Illinois Tool Works

Inc. (SIP), a domestic producer of

helical spring lock washers (HSLW),

submitted a request that the Secretary of

Commerce monitor imports of HSLWs

from Russia and Mexico under section

732(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act), and section

353.11(c) of the Department’s

regulations. In response to the

Department’s requests for clarification,

SIP subsequently supplemented its

request on October 24, 1994, November

30, 1994, and January 16, 1995. The

monitoring request applies to circular

washers of carbon steel, of carbon alloy

steel, or of stainless steel, heat-treated or

non-heat-treated, plated or non-plated,

with ends that are off-line. HSLWs are

designed to: (1) Function as a spring to
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 31 / Wednesday, February 15, 1995 / Notices 8631

compensate for developed looseness

between the component parts of a

fastened assembly; (2) distribute the

load over a larger area for screws or

bolts; and (3) provide a hardened

bearing surface. The scope does not

include internal or external tooth

washers, nor does it include spring lock

washers made of other metals, such as

copper. HSLWs are included under item

number 7318.21.0000 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 is

dispositive. SIP requests that the

Secretary monitor imports of these

products from Russia and Mexico,

alleging that circumstances which allow

the Department to monitor imports

currently exist. Under section 732(a)(2)

of the Act, the requirements for the

Secretary to monitor imports are: (a)

more than one antidumping duty order

for the same class or kind of

merchandise must be in effect; (b) the

Department must have a reason to

believe or suspect that there exists an

extraordinary pattern of persistent

injurious dumping with respect to

shipments from one or more additional

supplier countries; and (c) this

extraordinary pattern of persistent

injurious dumping is causing a serious

commercial problem for the domestic

industry.

COMMENTS: Interested parties wishing to

comment upon this request must send

written comments not later than March

17, 1995. Comments should be sent to

the Secretary of Commerce, Attention:

Import Administration, Central Records

Unit, Room B–099, U.S. Department of

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

Avenue, NW., Washington, D.C. 20230.

Interested parties may file replies to any

comments submitted. All replies must

be filed not later than seven days after

March 17, 1995. Any interested parties

submitting business proprietary

information must do so in accordance

with section 353.32(b) of the

Department’s regulations and submit a

public version or summary of that

information.

Anhydrous Sodium Metasilicate From

France; Final Results of Antidumping

Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

antidumping duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: On October 20, 1994, the

Department of Commerce (the

Department) published the preliminary

results of administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on anhydrous

sodium metasilicate (ASM) from France.

This review covers Rhone Poulenc

Chime de Base (Rhone Poulenc), a

manufacturer/exporter of this

merchandise to the United States, and

the period January 1, 1993, through

December 31, 1993. The firm failed to

submit a timely response to our

questionnaire. As a result, we have used

best information available (BIA) for cash

deposit and appraisement purposes. We

did not receive any comments on our

preliminary results of review. Therefore,

the final results are unchanged from

those presented in the preliminary

results of review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 15, 1995.

The review covers Rhone Poulenc and

the period January 1, 1993 through

December 31, 1993.

Use of Best Information Available

We mailed the antidumping

questionnaire to Rhone Poulenc, a

manufacturer/exporter of this

merchandise to the United States.

Rhone Poulenc failed to submit a timely

response to our questionnaire. The

Department has therefore decided to use

BIA in determining the rate for this firm.

When a company fails to provide the

information requested in a timely

manner, or otherwise significantly

impedes the Department’s review, the

Department considers the company

uncooperative and generally assigns to

that company the higher of: (a) The

highest rate assigned to any company in

the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)

investigation or in prior administrative

reviews, or (b) the highest rate found in

the current review for any firm. See 19

CFR 353.37(b) and Final Results of

Administrative Review, Antifriction

Bearings (other than Tapered Roller

Bearings) from France (58 FR 39729,

39739, July 26, 1993). In this case, as

BIA, we used 60 percent, the highest

rate from a prior review. See Final

Results of Antidumping Duty

Administrative Review, Anhydrous

Sodium Metasilicate from France (52 FR

33856, September 8, 1987).

Final Results of the Review

We gave interested parties an

opportunity to comment on the

preliminary results. We received no

comments. Therefore, the final results

are unchanged from those presented in

the preliminary results of review. We

determine that a margin of 60.00 percent

exists for Rhone Poulenc during the

period January 1, 1993, through

December 31, 1993.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective upon

publication of these final results of this

administrative review, for all shipments

of ASM from France, entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the publication

date, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of

the Tariff Act: (1) The cash deposit rate

for the reviewed company will be 60

percent; (2) for exporters not covered in

this review, but covered in previous

reviews or the original LTFV

investigation, 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, previous reviews, or the

original LTFV investigation, but the

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate

will be that established for the most

recent period for the manufacturer of

the merchandise; and (4) the cash

deposit rate for all other manufacturers

and exporters will be 60 percent.

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 353.26 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 administrative review and notice

are in accordance with section 751(a)(1)

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

and 19 CFR 353.22.
