AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

antidumping duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: On February 21, 1996, the

Department of Commerce (the

Department) published the preliminary

results of its administrative review of

the antidumping duty order on

industrial nitrocellulose (INC) from the

United Kingdom. This review covers

one producer/exporter, Imperial

Chemical Industries, PLC (ICI), and

entries of the subject merchandise into

the United States during the period July

1, 1993 through June 30, 1994.

We gave interested parties an

opportunity to comment on our

preliminary results, but we received no

comments. We have not changed the

margin from that presented in our

preliminary results of review.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 10, 1996.

Applicable Statutes and Regulations

Unless otherwise stated, all citations

to the statute and to the Department’s

regulations are references to the

provisions as they existed on December

31, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 21, 1996, the Department

published in the Federal Register (61

FR 6624) the preliminary results of the

administrative review of the

antidumping duty order on INC from

the United Kingdom (55 FR 28270, July

10, 1990). The preliminary results

indicated the existence of a dumping

margin for the respondent. We received

no comments from interested parties on

our preliminary results. The Department

has now completed this administrative

review in accordance with section 751

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended

(the Act).

Scope of the Review

This review covers shipments of INC

from the United Kingdom. INC is a dry,

white, amorphous synthetic chemical

with a nitrogen content between 10.8

and 12.2 percent, which is produced

from the reaction of cellulose with nitric

acid. It is used as a film-former in

coatings, lacquers, furniture finishes,

and printing inks. INC is currently

classifiable under Harmonized Tariff

Schedule (HTS) item number

3912.20.00. The HTS subheadings are

provided for convenience and U.S.

Customs Service purposes. The written

description remains dispositive. The

scope of the antidumping order does not

include explosive grade nitrocellulose,

which has a nitrogen content of greater

than 12.2 percent.

This review covers sales of the subject

merchandise manufactured by ICI and

entered into the United States during

the period July 1, 1993 through June 30,

1994.

Final Results of Review

We determine that a margin of 1.48

percent exists for ICI for the period July

1, 1993 through June 30, 1994.

The Department shall determine, and

the Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. Individual differences between

U.S. price and foreign market value may

vary from the percentage stated above.

The Department will issue appraisement

instructions directly to the Customs

Service.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective upon

publication of this notice of final results

of review for all shipments of INC from

the United Kingdom entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the publication

date, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of

the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the

reviewed company will be that

established in these final results of this

administrative review; (2) for previously

reviewed or investigated companies not

listed above, 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 or a previous review or the lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but

the manufacturer is, the cash deposit

rate will be the most recent rate

established for the manufacturer of the

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit

rate for all other manufacturers or

exporters will be the ‘‘all others’’ rate of

11.13 percent established in the final

notice of the LTFV investigation.

This notice also serves as a 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 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 19 C.F.R. 353.34(d). Timely written

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.
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 112 / Monday, June 10, 1996 / Notices 29343

This administrative review 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.

Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Preliminary Results of

Antidumping Duty Administrative

Review.

SUMMARY: In response to a request from

one respondent, the Department of

Commerce (the Department) is

conducting an administrative review of

the antidumping duty order on pure

magnesium from Canada. The review

covers one manufacturer/exporter of the

subject merchandise to the United

States for the period August 1, 1994

through July 31, 1995.

We have preliminarily determined

that U.S. sales have not been made

below the normal value (NV). Interested

parties are invited to comment on these

preliminary results. Parties who submit

arguments in this proceeding are

requested to submit with each argument

(1) a statement of the issue, and (2) a

brief summary of the argument.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 10, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (the Act), are references to the

provisions effective January 1, 1995, the

effective date of the amendments made

to the Act by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act (URAA). In addition,

unless otherwise indicated, all citations

to the Department’s regulations are to

the current regulations, as amended by

the interim regulations published in the

Federal Register on May 11, 1995 (60

FR 25130).

Background

On August 31, 1992, the Department

published in the Federal Register (57

FR 39399) the antidumping duty order

on pure magnesium from Canada. On

August 1, 1995, the Department

published a notice of ‘‘Opportunity to

Request Administrative Review’’ of this

antidumping duty order for the period

of August 1, 1994 through July 31, 1995

(60 FR 39151). We received a timely

request for review from the respondent,

Norsk Hydro Canada Inc. (NHCI). On

September 15, 1995, the Department

initiated a review of NHCI (60 FR

47930).

Scope of the Review

The product covered by this review is

pure magnesium. Pure unwrought

magnesium contains at least 99.8

percent magnesium by weight and is

sold in various slab and ingot forms and

sizes. Granular and secondary

magnesium are excluded from the scope

currently classified under subheading

8104.11.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule (HTS). The HTS item numbers

are provided for convenience and for

Customs purposes. The written

description remains dispositive.

The review covers one Canadian

manufacturer/exporter, NHCI, and the

period August 1, 1994 through July 31,

1995.

United States Price (USP)

In calculating USP for NHCI, the

Department treated respondent’s sale as

an export price (EP) sale, as defined in

section 772(a) of the Act, because the

subject merchandise was sold to an

unaffiliated U.S. purchaser prior to the

date of importation.

We calculated EP based on the

packed, delivered, duty-paid price to

the unaffiliated customer in the United

States. We made deductions from the

gross unit price, where appropriate, for

freight and U.S. customs duty, in

accordance with section 772(c)(2)(A) of

the Act.

No other adjustments to USP were

claimed or allowed.

Normal Value (NV)

Based on a comparison of the

aggregate quantity of home market and

U.S. sales, we determined that the

quantity of foreign like product sold in

the exporting country was sufficient to

permit a proper comparison with the

sales of the subject merchandise to the

United States, pursuant to section 773(a)

of the Act. Therefore, in accordance

with section 773(a)(1)(B)(i) of the Act,

we based NV on the prices at which the

foreign like products were first sold for

consumption in the exporting country.

Pursuant to section 777A(d)(2) of the

Act, we compared the EP of the

individual transaction to the monthly

weighted-average price of sales of the

foreign like product. We compared the

EP sale to sales in the home market of

identical merchandise.

We based NV on the price at which

the foreign like product is first sold for

consumption in the exporting country,

in the usual commercial quantities and

in the ordinary course of trade and at

the same level of trade as the EP, in

accordance with section 773(a)(1)(B)(i)

of the Act. We made adjustments, where

applicable, for freight charges and home

market credit expenses, in accordance

with section 773(a)(6)(B)(ii) of the Act.

We increased home market price by U.S.

packing costs in accordance with

section 773(a)(6)(A) of the Act and

reduced it by home market packing

costs in accordance with section

773(a)(6)(B) of the Act. In accordance

with section 773(a)(6)(C) of the Act, we

increased NV by adding U.S. credit

expense. No other adjustments were

claimed or allowed.

Preliminary Results of the Review

As a result of this review, we

preliminarily determine that the

following weighted-average dumping

margin exists:
