United States Price

In calculating United States Price

(USP), the Department used purchase

price, as defined in section 772(b) of the

Act. The Department based USP on the

packed, delivered price to unrelated

purchasers.

The Department made deductions,

where appropriate, for foreign inland

freight, U.S. duties, and U.S. brokerage

fees. Additionally, in accordance with

the Court of International Trade’s

decision in Federal-Mogul Corp. and

The Torrington Co. v. United States, 834

F. Supp. 1391 (CIT 1993) (Federal

Mogul), we adjusted USP for taxes that

would have been assessed on the

merchandise had it been sold in the

home market. Where applicable, we also

deducted from the USP the portion of

the USP tax adjustment attributable to

expenses included in the U.S. tax base.

No other adjustments were claimed or

allowed.

Foreign Market Value

In calculating foreign market value

(FMV), we used home market price, as

defined in section 773(a) of the Act,

since quantities of merchandise

sufficient to provide a reasonable basis

for comparison were sold in the home

market to provide a reasonable basis for

comparison. Home market price was

based on the FOB stockyard or FOB mill

price to unrelated purchasers in the

home market.

The Department made adjustments,

where applicable, for discounts, rebates,

warranty and servicing expenses,

royalty fees, fees for outside inspectors,

and for differences in packing material

and credit. The Department also made

an adjustment to FMV for imputed

consumption taxes in accordance with

the aforementioned Federal-Mogul

decision.

No other adjustments were claimed or

allowed.

Preliminary Results of Review

As a result of our comparison of USP

to FMV, the Department preliminary

determines that no margin exists for

IPSCO for the period June 1, 1993,

through May 31, 1994.

Interested parties may request

disclosure within 5 days of the date of

publication of this notice and may

request a hearing within 10 days of

publication. Any hearing, if requested,

will be held 44 days after the date of

publication of this notice, or the first

workday thereafter. Case briefs and

written comments from interested

parties may be submitted not later than

30 days after the date of publication.

Rebuttal briefs and rebuttals to written

comments, limited to the issues raised

in the case briefs and comments, may be

filed not later than 37 days after the date

of publication. The Department will

publish the final results of this

administrative review, including the

results of its analysis of any such

written comments or hearing.

The Department shall determine, and

U.S. Customs shall assess, antidumping

duties on all appropriate entries. The

Department will issue appraisement

instructions directly to U.S. Customs.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective for all

shipments of the subject merchandise,

entered or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the

publication date of the final results of

this administrative review, as provided

by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The

cash deposit rate for the reviewed

company will be that rate established in

the final results of this administrative

review; (2) the cash deposit rate for

merchandise exported by manufacturers

or exporters not covered in this review

but covered in a previous review or the

original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)

investigation, will continue to be the

rate published in the most recent final

results or determination for which the

manufacturer or exporter received a

company-specific rate; (3) if the exporter

is not a firm covered in this review,

earlier reviews, or the original

investigation, but the manufacturer is,

the cash deposit rate will be that

established for the manufacturer of the

merchandise in these final results of

review, earlier reviews, or the original

investigation, whichever is the most

recent; and (4) the ‘‘all others’’ rate, as

determined in the LTFV investigation,

will be 16.65 percent.

These deposit requirements, when

imposed, shall remain in effect until

publication of the final results of the

next administrative review.

This notice serves as a preliminary

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

CFR 353.22.

this merchandise to the United States,

Ausimont S.p.A. We did not receive any

comments on our preliminary results,

and, therefore, the final results are

unchanged from those presented in our

preliminary results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On August 12, 1992, the Department

published in the Federal Register a

notice of ‘‘Opportunity to Request

Administrative Review’’ (57 FR 36063)

of the antidumping order on PTFE resin

from Italy (53 FR 33163; August 30,

1988). On August 31, 1992, Ausimont

S.p.A. and Ausimont U.S.A. requested

an administrative review of the order for

the period August 1, 1991 through July

31, 1992. We initiated the review on

September 28, 1992 (57 FR 44551).

Verifications were conducted in Milan,

Italy, September 13–16, 1993, and in

Morristown, New Jersey, November 22–

23, 1993. On December 21, 1994, the

preliminary results of this

administrative review were published

(59 FR 65753). We have now completed

this administrative review in

accordance with section 751 of the

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

Scope of the Review

Imports covered by this review are

shipments of PTFE resin which is

classifiable under Harmonized Tariff

Schedule (HTS) item number

3904.61.00. PTFE dispersions in water

and fine powders are not covered by

this order. The HTS item number is

provided for convenience and Customs

purposes. The written description

remains dispositive. The order on PTFE

resin from Italy also covers PTFE wet

raw polymer exported from Italy to the

United States (see Granular

Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from Italy;

Final Determination of Circumvention

of Antidumping Duty Order (58 FR

26100; April 30, 1993)). However,

because the Department issued its

preliminary affirmative determination of

circumvention and ordered the

suspension of liquidation of wet raw

polymer entries after the review period,

entries of PTFE wet raw polymer were

not subject to this particular review (see

Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin

from Italy; Preliminary Results of

Antidumping Administrative Review, 59

FR 65753, and Memorandum to Joseph

A. Spetrini, Acting Assistant Secretary

for Import Administration, dated

September 10, 1993; The Third

Administrative Review of the

Antidumping Duty Order on Granular

Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin from

Italy, which is on file in the Central

Records Unit (room B099 of the Main

Commerce Building)). The review

covers one manufacturer/exporter of

Italian PTFE resin to the United States,

Ausimont S.p.A., and the review period

is August 1, 1991 through July 31, 1992.

Final Results of the Review

We gave interested parties an

opportunity to comment on the

preliminary results. We did not receive

any comments. Therefore, the final

results are unchanged from those

presented in the preliminary results. As

a result of our comparison of United

States price with foreign market value,

we determine that the following

weighted-average dumping margin

existed during the period August 1,

1991 through July 31, 1992:

Manufacturer/exporter

Period

Margin

(percent)

Ausimont

S.p.A. ..... 08/01/91–07/31/92 13.31

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective upon

publication of these final results of this

administrative review, for all shipments

of the subject merchandise, 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 cash deposit

rate for the reviewed company will be

13.31 percent; (2) for exporters not

covered in this review, but covered in

previous reviews or the original lessthan-fair-value (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, a prior

review, or the original LTFV

investigation, but the manufacturer is,

the cash deposit rate will be the rate

established for the most recent period

for the manufacturer of the

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit

rate for all other manufactures and

exporters will be 46.46 percent, the ‘‘all

other’’ rate established in the original

LTFV investigation by the Department

(53 FR 26096, July 11, 1988), in

accordance with the decisions of the

CIT in Floral Trade Council v. United

States, 822 F. Supp. 766 (1993), and

Federal-Mogul Corporation v. United

States, 822 F. Supp. 782 (1993).

These deposit requirements shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

review.

This notice 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 notice also serves as the only

reminder to parties subject to

administrative protective order (APO) of

their responsibilities concerning the

return or destruction of proprietary

information disclosed under APO in

accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d).

Failure to comply is a violation of the

APO.

This administrative review and notice

are in accordance with section

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

1675(a)(1)(B)) and 19 CFR 353.22(c)(5).

Dated: April 7, 1995.
