APPLICABLE STATUTE AND REGULATIONS:

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations

to the statute and to the Department’s

regulations are references to the

provisions as they existed on December

31, 1994. References to the

Antidumping and Countervailing

Duties: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

and Request for Public Comments, 57

FR 1131 (January 10, 1992) (concerning

correction of ministerial errors in a

preliminary determination) (‘‘Proposed

Regulations’’) are provided solely for

further explanation of the Department’s

practice and procedures with respect to

correction of ministerial errors.

Although the Department has

withdrawn the particular rulemaking

proceeding pursuant to which the

Proposed Regulations were issued, the

subject matter of these regulations is

being considered in connection with an

ongoing rulemaking proceeding which,

among other things, is intended to

conform the Department’s regulations to

the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.

See 60 FR 80 (January 3, 1995).

AMENDED PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION: In

accordance with section 733(b) of the

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

on January 4, 1995, the Department of

Commerce (the Department) made its

preliminary determination that canned

pineapple fruit (CPF) from Thailand was

being sold at less than fair value (60 FR

2734, January 11, 1995). On January 10

and 13, 1995, we disclosed our

calculations for the preliminary

determination to counsel for

respondents, the Thai Public Pineapple

Company (TIPCO), Siam Agro Industry

Pineapple and Others Public Co., Ltd.

(SAICO), and Malee Sampran Factory

Public Co., Ltd. (Malee), to counsel to

respondent Dole Food Company, Inc.

and its affiliates, Dole Packaged Foods

Company and Dole Thailand, Inc.

(collectively Dole) and to counsel for the

petitioners, respectively, pursuant to

their requests. On January 20, 1995, we

received a submission from the

petitioners alleging a ministerial error in

the Department’s preliminary

determination calculations. (For specific

details of this allegation and our

analysis of it, see Memorandum from

Gary Taverman to Barbara R. Stafford

dated February 8, 1995.)

The petitioners alleged that the

Department incorrectly included

movement expenses in its deductions

for both direct and indirect selling

expenses for Dole’s third country

observations made on an ex-warehouse

or delivered basis.

We agree that the error alleged by the

petitioners is a ministerial error. This

error constitutes a significant ministerial

error within the meaning of the

Department’s Proposed Regulations in

that the correction results in a difference

between a dumping margin of de

minimis and a margin greater than de

minimis. See section 353.15(g)(4)(ii) of

the Department’s Proposed Regulations

(57 FR 1131, January 10, 1992).

Therefore, consistent with the

Department’s practice with respect to

the correction of ministerial errors, we

are amending Dole’s preliminary

dumping margin. The corrected

dumping margin for Dole is 0.78

percent; as a result the ‘‘All Others’’ rate

is now 3.92 percent.

Suspension of Liquidation

We are directing the Customs Service

to correct our request to suspend

liquidation in accordance with section

733(d)(1) of the Act, for all entries of

CPF from Thailand.

We are directing the Customs Service

to suspend liquidation of all entries of

CPF from Thailand from Dole that are

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the date of

publication of this amended preliminary

determination notice in the Federal

Register. Because Dole’s dumping

margin is now greater than de minimis,

and margins greater than de minimis are

included within the all others rate, we

are directing the Customs Service to

correct the ‘‘All Others’’ rate so that it

will reflect the rates for TIPCO, SAICO,

Malee, and Dole.

In accordance with section 733(d)(1)

of the Act, we are directing the Customs

Service to continue to suspend

liquidation of all entries of CPF from

Thailand for TIPCO, SAICO, Malee and

All Others that are entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the date of

publication of this amended preliminary

determination notice in the Federal

Register. The Customs Service shall

require a cash deposit or the posting of

a bond equal to the revised estimated

preliminary dumping margins, as shown

below. The suspension of liquidation

will remain in effect until further notice.

The weighted-average dumping margins

are as follows:

Manufacturer/Producer/

Exporter

Original

margin

percent

Revised

margin

percent

Dole ................................... 1 0.30 0.78

TIPCO ............................... 7.81 7.81

SAICO ............................... 9.55 9.55

Malee ................................ 1.12 1.12
