clarification will apply to entries of 

subject merchandise during the 

POR produced by the company 

included in these preliminary results for 

which the reviewed company did not 

know their merchandise was destined 

for the United States. In such instances, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all–others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company or companies involved in the 

transaction. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit rates will be 

effective upon publication of the final 

results of this administrative review for 

all shipments of PTFE from Italy 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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 listed above for Solvay will be the 

rate established in the final results of 

this review, except if a rate is less than 

0.5 percent, and therefore de minimis, 

the cash deposit rate will be zero; (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 review, a prior 

review, or the 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) if neither the 

exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm 

covered in this or any previous review 

conducted by the Department, the cash 

deposit rate will be 46.46 percent, the 

‘‘all others’’ rate established in the LTFV 

investigation. See Final Determination 

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: 

Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin 

from Italy, 53 FR 26096 (July 11, 1988). 

These cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entities 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 determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. 

Dated: September 16, 2008.

Exemption of Foreign Air Carriers 

From Excise Taxes; Review of Finding 

of Reciprocity (Dominican Republic), 

26 U.S.C. 4221 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Solicitation of public comments 

concerning a review of the existing 

exemption for aircraft registered in the 

Dominican Republic from certain 

internal revenue taxes on the purchase 

of supplies in the United States for such 

aircraft in connection with their 

international commercial operations. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Department of Commerce is 

conducting a review to determine, 

pursuant to Section 4221 of the Internal 

Revenue Code, as amended (26 U.S.C. 

4221), whether the Government of the 

Dominican Republic has discontinued 

allowing substantially reciprocal tax 

exemptions to aircraft of U.S. registry in 

connection with international 

commercial operations similar to those 

exemptions currently granted to aircraft 

of Dominican Republic registry by the 

United States under the aforementioned 

statute. 

The above-cited statute provides 

exemptions for aircraft of foreign 

registry from payment of certain internal 

revenue taxes on the purchase of 

supplies in the United States for such 

aircraft in connection with their 

international commercial operations. 

These exemptions apply upon a finding 

by the Secretary of Commerce, or his 

designee, and communicated to the 

Department of the Treasury, that such 

country allows, or will allow, 

‘‘substantially reciprocal privileges’’ to 

aircraft of U.S. registry with respect to 

purchases of such supplies in that 

country. If a foreign country 

discontinues the allowance of such 

substantially reciprocal exemption, the 

exemption allowed by the United States 

will not apply after the Secretary of the 

Treasury is notified by the Secretary of 

Commerce, or his designee, of the 

discontinuance. 

Interested parties are invited to 

submit their views, comments and 

supporting documentation in writing 

concerning this matter to Mr. Mark 

Brady, Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Services, Room 1128, U.S. Department 

of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230.

Small Diameter Graphite Electrodes 

from the People’s Republic of China: 

Amended Preliminary Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 22, 2008. 

SUMMARY: On August 21, 2008, the 

Department of Commerce (the 

Department) published the preliminary 

determination of sales at less than fair 

value (LTFV) in the antidumping 

investigation of small diameter graphite 

electrodes (graphite electrodes) from the 

People’s Republic of China (PRC). See 

Small Diameter Graphite Electrodes 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value, Postponement of 

Final Determination, and Affirmative 

Preliminary Determination of Critical 

Circumstances, in Part, 73 FR 49408 

(August 21, 2008) (Preliminary 

Determination). We are amending our 

Preliminary Determination to correct 

certain ministerial errors with respect to 

the antidumping duty margin 

calculation for the Fangda Group.1 The 

corrections to the Fangda Group’s 

margin also affect the margin applied to 

companies receiving a separate rate. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Magd Zalok or Drew Jackson, AD/CVD 

Operations, Office 4, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, 20230; 

telephone: (202) 482–4162 or (202) 482– 

4406, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

21, 2008, the Department published in 

the Federal Register the preliminary 

determination that graphite electrodes 

from the PRC are being, or are likely to 

be, sold in the United States at LTFV, 

as provided in section 733 of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’). 

See Preliminary Determination. 

On August 25, 2008, the Fangda 

Group, as well as SGL Carbon LLC and 

Superior Graphite Co. (collectively 

‘‘petitioners’’) filed timely allegations of 

ministerial errors in the Department’s 

preliminary calculation of the Fangda 

Group’s dumping margin. On August 

26, 2008, petitioners submitted a 

ministerial error allegation with respect 

to Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon 

Co., Ltd. (Fushun Jinly). On August 28, 

2008, per the Department’s request, 

petitioners submitted information 

regarding the affect the alleged errors 

have on the dumping margin calculated 

for the Fangda Group. 

After reviewing the allegations, we 

have determined that the Preliminary 

Determination included significant 

ministerial errors. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 351.224(e) of 

the Department’s regulations, we have 

made changes, as described below, to 

the Preliminary Determination. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation (POI) is 

July 1, 2007, through December 31, 

2007. This period corresponds to the 

two most recent fiscal quarters prior to

January 2008. See section 351.204(b)(1) 

of the Department’s regulations.
