where the respondent company used

special financial accounting treatment

to reflect only its regular depreciation

(i.e., non-tax depreciation) as a cost in

its audited income statements for that

year, Union recorded the full special

depreciation charge as a cost in its

audited income statement in accordance

with Korean GAAP. We note that it is

the Department’s normal practice to use

costs recorded in normal books and

records of the respondent unless it can

be shown that such costs do not

reasonably reflect the amounts incurred

to produce the subject merchandise.

Final Results of Review

As a result of this review, we have

determined that the following margins

exist for the period February 4, 1993,

through July 31, 1994:

CERTAIN CORROSION-RESISTANT

CARBON STEEL FLAT PRODUCTS

Producer/manufacturer/exporter

Weightedaverage

margin (percent)

Dongbu ..................................... 1.50

Union ......................................... 10.74

The Department shall determine, and

the U.S. Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. The Department shall issue

appraisement instructions directly to

the Customs Service.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements shall be effective upon

publication of this notice of final results

of review for all shipments of certain

corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat

products Korea entered, or withdrawn

from warehouse, for consumption on or

after the publication date, as provided

for by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act:

(1) The cash deposit rates for the

reviewed companies named above

which have separate rates will be the

rates for those firms as stated above; (2)

for previously investigated companies

not listed above, the cash deposit rate

will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most

recent period; (3) if the exporter is not

a firm covered in this review or the

original less-than-fair-value (‘‘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 manufacturers or

exporters will continue to be 17.70

percent, which is the ‘‘all others’’ rate in

the LTFV investigation.

Article VI¶5 of the General Agreement

on Tariffs and Trade provides that ‘‘(n)o

product * * * shall be subject to both

antidumping and countervailing duties

to compensate for the same situation of

dumping or export subsidization.’’ This

provision is implemented by section

772(d)(1)(D) of the Act. Since

antidumping duties cannot be assessed

on the portion of the margin attributable

to export subsidies, there is no reason to

require a cash deposit or bond for that

amount. Accordingly, the level of export

subsidies as determined in Final

Affirmative Countervailing Duty

Determinations and Final Negative

Critical Circumstances Determinations;

Certain Steel Products from Korea (58

FR 327328—July 9, 1993), which is 0.10

percent ad valorem, will be subtracted

from the cash deposit rate for deposit or

bonding purposes.

The deposit requirements, when

imposed, 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 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 section 353.34(d) of the

Department’s regulations. Timely

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 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.

the People’s Republic of China: Notice

of Initiation of New Shipper

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

ACTION: Notice of initiation of new

shipper antidumping duty

administrative review, Certain Compact

Ductile Iron Waterworks Fittings and

Glands (CDIW), from the People’s

Republic of China (PRC), A–570–820.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

(the Department) has received a request

to conduct a new shipper administrative

review of the antidumping duty order

on CDIW from the PRC which has a

September anniversary date. In

accordance with Department

regulations, we are initiating this

administrative review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 26, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul

M. Stolz, Office of Antidumping

Compliance, Import Administration,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department has received a timely

request from Beijing M Star Pipe Corp.,

Ltd. (BMSP), in accordance with section

751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act), and section

353.22(h) of the Department’s Interim

Regulations (60 FR 25130, 25134 (May

11, 1995)), for a new shipper review of

the antidumping duty order on CDIW

from the PRC which has a September

anniversary date.

Initiation of Review

BMSP has certified that it did not

export CDIW to the U.S. during the

period of investigation (POI) (2/1/92–7/

31/92), and that it is not affiliated with

any exporter or producer which did

export CDIW during the POI. This

certification is in accordance with

section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and the
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 82 / Friday, April 26, 1996 / Notices 18569

Department’s Interim Regulations, 19

CFR 353.22(h). Therefore, we are

initiating the new shipper review as

requested. However, it is the

Department’s usual practice with nonmarket economies to require

information regarding de jure and de

facto government control over a

company’s export activities to establish

its eligibility for an antidumping duty

rate separate from the country-wide rate.

Accordingly, we will issue a separate

rates questionnaire to BMSP and seek

additional information from the PRC

government, as appropriate, allowing 30

days for response. If the responses from

BMSP and the PRC government

adequately demonstrate that BMSP is

not subject to de jure and de facto

government control with respect to its

exports of CDIW, the review will

proceed. If, on the other hand, BMSP

does not demonstrate its eligibility for a

separate rate, BMSP will be deemed to

be affiliated with other companies that

exported during the POI which did not

establish their entitlement to a separate

rate and the review will be terminated.

If this review proceeds normally, we

will issue the final results of review not

later than February 16, 1997. The period

to be reviewed is the seven months

immediately preceding the semianniversary month of March 1996,

which includes August 1, 1995 through

February 29, 1996.

We will instruct the U.S. Customs

Service to allow, at the option of the

importer, the posting, until the

completion or termination of the review,

of a bond or security in lieu of a cash

deposit for each entry of the

merchandise in accordance with section

751(a)(2)(B)(iii) and Interim Regulation

19 CFR 353.22(h)(4) (1995).

Interested parties must submit

applications for disclosure under

administrative protective orders in

accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(b).

This initiation and this notice are in

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of

the Act and Interim Regulation 19 CFR
