Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 85 / Wednesday, May 1, 1996 / Notices 19261

preliminarily determine the net

subsidies to be as follows:

Manufacturer/exporter Rate

(percent)

Chrome Resources (Pty) Ltd. ....... 00.20

Consolidated Metallurgical Industries Limited ............................... 00.00

Feralloys Limited ........................... 00.00

Samancor Limited ......................... 00.001

In accordance with the Act, any rate

less than 0.5 percent ad valorem in an

administrative review is de minimis.

The URAA replaced the general rule

in favor of a country-wide rate with a

general rule in favor of individual rates

for investigated and reviewed

companies. The procedures for

countervailing duty cases are now

essentially the same as those in

antidumping cases, except as provided

for in section 777(e)(2)(B) of the Act.

Requests for administrative reviews

must now specify the companies to be

reviewed. See 19 CFR § 355.22(a). The

requested review will normally cover

only those companies specifically

named. Pursuant to 19 CFR § 355.22(g),

for all companies for which a review

was not requested, duties must be

assessed at the cash deposit rate

previously ordered. Accordingly, for the

period January 1 through December 31,

1994, the assessment rates applicable to

all non-reviewed companies covered by

this order are the cash deposit rates in

effect at the time of entry.

If the final results of this review

remain the same as these preliminary

results, the Department intends to

instruct the U.S. Customs Service to

liquidate, without regard to

countervailing duties, shipments of the

subject merchandise from Chrome

Resources (Pty) Ltd., Consolidated

Metallurgical Industries Limited,

Feralloys Limited, and Samancor

Limited exported on or after January 1,

1994 and entered on or before December

31, 1994.

This countervailing duty order was

subject to section 753 of the Act. See

Countervailing Duty Order; Opportunity

to Request a Section 753 Injury

Investigation, 60 FR 27,963 (May 26,

1995). Because no domestic interested

parties exercised their right under

section 753(a) of the Act to request an

injury investigation, the International

Trade Commission made a negative

injury determination with respect to this

order, pursuant to section 753(b)(4) of

the Act. As a result, the Department

revoked this countervailing duty order,

effective January 1, 1995, pursuant to

section 753(b)(3)(B) of the Act.

Revocation of Countervailing Duty

Orders, 60 FR 40568 (August 9, 1995).

Accordingly, the Department will not

issue further instructions with respect to

cash deposits of estimated

countervailing duties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The Patent and Trademark Office

(Office) is to administer the recordkeeping function required by Section 8

of the Fastener Quality Act, Public Law

101–502 which provides in section 8(b)

that: ‘‘The Secretary shall establish, by

regulation, a program to provide for the

recordation of the insignias of the

manufacturers and private label

distributors described in subsection (a)

to ensure the traceability of a fastener to

its manufacturer or private label

distributor.’’ In order to perform this

function, the Office plans to accept

applications for recordal of fastener

insignia and to maintain a listing of

such insignia. This listing will be open

to public inspection and copies will be

available for sale to the public.

In addition, upon request, the Office

will provide manufacturers and private

label distributors, who do not wish to

record an insignia, with a unique alphanumeric designation which can be used

as a recorded insignia.

Manufacturers and private label

alpha-numeric designations will be

required to renew those recordals every

five years and to notify the Office of any

changes of address.

collecting the information is to ensure

that a fastener can be traced to its

manufacturer or private label

distributor.
