most adverse BIA to all sales of axes.

See the Final Determination of Sales at

Less Than Fair Value: Certain Helical

Spring Lock Washers From the People’s

Republic of China (58 FR 48833,

September 20, 1993) (comment 6). As

BIA, we are using the highest margin

calculated for that class or kind in the

investigation or any review of sales of

subject merchandise from that same

country.

At the onset of verification, SMC

presented certain sales of axes, picks,

and splitting mauls which had not been

reported to the Department in the

questionnaire responses. As discussed

above, we have applied BIA to all sales

of axes. With regard to picks and

splitting mauls, since these sales data

had not been previously reported to the

Department in any of SMC’s

questionnaire responses, we have

applied BIA to these sales.

Because SMC reported most of its

sales of these classes or kinds of

merchandise in its questionnaire

responses and because it was an

oversight on the part of SMC that these

certain sales were not presented to the

Department until verification, we are

assigning as BIA the higher of either: (1)

The highest margin calculated for the

same class or kind of merchandise for

that company in any previous review or

the original investigation; or (2) the

highest margin calculated for the same

class or kind of merchandise for any

respondent that supplied an adequate

response for the current review.

Preliminary Results of the Reviews

As a result of our reviews, we

preliminarily determine that the

following margins exist:

Parties to the proceedings may request

disclosure within 5 days of the date of

publication of this notice. Any

interested party may request a hearing

within 10 days of publication. Any

hearing, if requested, will be held 44

days after the publication of this notice,

or the first workday thereafter.

Interested parties may submit case briefs

within 30 days of the date of publication

of this notice. Rebuttal briefs, which

must be limited to issues raised in the

case briefs, may be filed not later than

The Department shall determine, and

the Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. Individual differences between

U.S. price and FMV may vary from the

percentages stated above. The

Department will issue appraisement

instructions directly to the Customs

Service.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective upon

publication of the final results of these

administrative reviews for all shipments

of HFHTs from the PRC entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the publication

date, as provided for by section

751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The case deposit

rates for the reviewed companies named

above which have separate rates will be

the rates for those firms as stated above;

(2) for all other PRC exporters, the cash

deposit rates will be the rates

established in the LTFV investigations;

and (3) the cash deposit rates for nonPRC exporters of subject merchandise

from the PRC will be the rates

applicable to the PRC supplier of that

exporter. The rates established in the

LTFV investigations are 45.42 percent

for hammers/sledges, 31.76 percent for

bars/wedges, 50.81 percent for picks/

mattocks, and 15.02 percent for axes/

adzes. These deposit requirements,

when imposed, shall remain in effect

until publication of the final results of

the next administrative reviews.

Notification of Interested Parties

This notice serves as a preliminary

reminder to importers of their

responsibility under section 353.26 of

the Department’s regulations 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.

These administrative reviews and

notice are in accordance with section

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

1675(a)(1)) and section 353.22 of the

Department’s regulations.

Dated: April 13, 1995.
