the period from January 1, 1994 through

Background

The Department initiated the January

Department issued the preliminary

results for this administrative review (61

Scope of Review

Imports covered by the review are

readily soluble in water. Applications

processing, medium or heavy duty

cleaning, and compounding into other

detergent formulations. This

merchandise is classified under

Harmonized Tariff Schedules (HTS)

item numbers 2839.11.00 and

2839.19.00. The HTS item numbers are

provided for convenience and Customs

purposes. The written description

Final Results of Review

The Department gave interested

parties an opportunity to comment on

its preliminary results. The Department

did not receive any comments.

Accordingly, for reasons discussed in

the preliminary results, the Department

has, pursuant to section 776 of the Act,

used facts available. As discussed in the

preliminary results, the Department

used as facts available the 60-percent

margin calculated in the original lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation

using information provided by Rhone

Poulenc. For a discussion of the reasons

for application of facts available, see

Anhydrous Sodium Metasilicate from

France: Preliminary Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review, 61 FR 9425 (March 8, 1995).

The Department will determine, and

the Customs Service will assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. 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merchandise entered, or withdrawn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 these final

results of this administrative review, as

provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the

Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Rhone

Poulenc will be 60 percent; (2) for

companies not covered in this review,

but covered in previous reviews or the

original 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 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) if neither

the exporter nor the manufacturer is a

firm covered in this or any previous

review or the original investigation, the
