The Department will determine, and

the U.S. Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. For assessment purposes, we

have calculated importer-specific ad

valorem duty assessment rates for the

merchandise based on the ratio of the

total amount of antidumping duties

calculated for the examined sales to the

total quantity of sales examined. The

Department will issue appraisement

instructions directly to the Customs

Service.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective upon

publication of these amended final

results for all shipments of the subject

merchandise entered, or withdrawn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 each reviewed company

will be the rate stated above (except that

no deposit will be required for firms

with zero or de minimis margins, i.e.,

margins less than 0.5 percent); (2) for

exporters not covered in this review, but

covered in the less-than-fair-value

(LTFV) investigation or a previous

review, 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 previous review, or the

original 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 the ‘‘all

others’’ rates established in the LTFV

investigations, which were 18.71

percent for corrosion-resistant steel

products and 61.88 percent for plate

(see Amended Final Determination of

Sales at Less than Fair Value and AntiDumping Orders: Certain Corrosion

Background

This review covers two

Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Tokyo

Kikai Seisakusho, Ltd. (TKS).

On October 19, 2000, the Department

of Commerce published in the Federal

Register the preliminary results of the

antidumping duty order on large

newspaper printing presses and

components thereof, whether assembled

or unassembled, (LNPPs) from Japan.

See Large Newspaper Printing Presses

and Components Thereof, Whether

Assembled or Unassembled, from Japan:

Preliminary Results of Antidumping

Duty Administrative Review, 65 FR

62700 (Oct. 19, 2000) (Preliminary

Results).

We invited parties to comment on our

preliminary results of review. At the

request of MHI and its affiliate MLP

U.S.A., Inc., we held a public hearing on

December 20, 2000. The Department has

conducted this administrative review in

accordance with section 751 of the Act.

Scope of the Review

The products covered by this review

are large newspaper printing presses,

including press systems, press

additions, and press components,

whether assembled or unassembled,

whether complete or incomplete, that

are capable of printing or otherwise

manipulating a roll of paper more than

two pages across. A page is defined as

a newspaper broadsheet page in which

the lines of type are printed

perpendicular to the running of the

direction of the paper or a newspaper

tabloid page with lines of type parallel

to the running of the direction of the

paper.

In addition to press systems, the

scope of this review includes the five

press system components. They are: (1)

a printing unit, which is any component

that prints in monocolor, spot color,

and/or process (full) color; (2) a reel

tension paster, which is any component

that feeds a roll of paper more than two

11556 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 38 / Monday, February 26, 2001 / Notices

newspaper broadsheet pages in width

into a subject printing unit; (3) a folder,

which is a module or combination of

modules capable of cutting, folding,

and/or delivering the paper from a roll

or rolls of newspaper broadsheet paper

more than two pages in width into a

newspaper format; (4) conveyance and

access apparatus capable of

manipulating a roll of paper more than

two newspaper broadsheet pages across

through the production process and

which provides structural support and

access; and (5) a computerized control

system, which is any computer

equipment and/or software designed

specifically to control, monitor, adjust,

and coordinate the functions and

operations of large newspaper printing

presses or press components.

A press addition is comprised of a

union of one or more of the press

components defined above and the

equipment necessary to integrate such

components into an existing press

system.

Because of their size, large newspaper

printing press systems, press additions,

and press components are typically

shipped either partially assembled or

unassembled, complete or incomplete,

and are assembled and/or completed

prior to and/or during the installation

process in the United States. Any of the

five components, or collection of

components, the use of which is to

fulfill a contract for large newspaper

printing press systems, press additions,

or press components, regardless of

degree of assembly and/or degree of

combination with non-subject elements

before or after importation, is included

in the scope of this review. Also

included in the scope are elements of a

LNPP system, addition, or component,

which taken altogether, constitute at

least 50 percent of the cost of

manufacture of any of the five major

LNPP components of which they are a

part.

For purposes of this review, the

following definitions apply irrespective

of any different definition that may be

found in Customs rulings, Customs law

or the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

the United States (HTSUS): the term

‘‘unassembled’’ means fully or partially

unassembled or disassembled; and (2)

the term ‘‘incomplete’’ means lacking

one or more elements with which the

LNPP is intended to be equipped in

order to fulfill a contract for a LNPP

system, addition or component.

This scope does not cover spare or

replacement parts. Spare or replacement

parts imported pursuant to a LNPP

contract, which are not integral to the

original start-up and operation of the

LNPP, and are separately identified and

valued in a LNPP contract, whether or

not shipped in combination with

covered merchandise, are excluded from

the scope of this review. Used presses

are also not subject to this scope. Used

presses are those that have been

previously sold in an arm’s-length

transaction to a purchaser that used

them to produce newspapers in the

ordinary course of business.

Also excluded from the scope, in

accordance with the Department’s

determination in a changedcircumstances antidumping duty

administrative review of this order with

respect to MHI which resulted in the

partial revocation of the order with

respect to certain merchandise, are

elements and components of LNPP

systems, and additions thereto, which

feature a 22 inch cut-off, 50 inch web

width and a rated speed no greater than

75,000 copies per hour. See Large

Newspaper Printing Presses

U.S. sale to the Bergen Record was contracted for

during previous administrative review period,

covering sales of the subject merchandise for the

period September 1, 1997 through August 31, 1998.

However, we deferred review of this sale until this

administrative review period because the entries

relating to this sale were not fully delivered and

installed by the conclusion of that review period.

See Preliminary Results, 65 FR at 62700.

have raised and to which we have

responded, all of which are in the

Decision Memorandum, is attached to

this notice as an Appendix. Parties can

find a complete discussion of all issues

raised in this review and the

corresponding recommendations in this

public memorandum which is on file in

the Central Records Unit in Room B–099

of the main Commerce Building. In

addition, a complete version of the

Decision Memorandum can be accessed

directly on the Web at http://

ia.ita.doc.gov. The paper copy and

electronic version of the Decision

Memorandum are identical in content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

Based on our analysis of comments

received, we have made certain changes

to the margin calculations. For a

discussion of these changes, see the

‘‘Margin Calculations’’ section of the

Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of the Review

As a result of this review, we have

determined that the following margins

exist for the period September 1, 1998

through August 31, 1999: 1

Manufacturer/exporter Margin

(percent)

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. 15.72

Tokyo Kikai Seisakusho, Ltd. ....... 0.00

Assessment Rates

The Department shall determine, and

the Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. The Department will issue

appraisement instructions directly to

the Customs Service. For entries of

subject merchandise from MHI and

TKS, we have calculated importerspecific assessment rates by aggregating

the dumping margins calculated for all

examined sales and dividing by the

entered value of those sales. These rates

will be assessed uniformly on all entries

of that particular importer made with

respect to the U.S. sales examined. In

accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),

we will instruct the Customs Service to

liquidate without regard to antidumping

duties all entries of the subject

merchandise for which the importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de

minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent).

This notice serves as a final reminder

to importers of their responsibility

under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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.

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following deposit requirements

shall be effective for all shipments of the

subject merchandise from Japan that are

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the

publication date of the final results of

these administrative review, as provided

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

The cash deposit rates for MHI and TKS

will be the rates established above in the

‘‘Final Results of the Review’’ section;

(2) for previously investigated

companies not listed above, the cash

deposit rates will continue to be the

company-specific rates published for

the most recent period; (3) if the

exporter is not a firm covered in this

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) the cash

deposit rate for all other manufacturers

or exporters of this merchandise will

continue to be 58.69 percent, the all

others rate made effective by the lessthan-fair value investigation. These

requirements, when imposed, shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

review.

This notice serves as the only

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 CFR 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 regulation

and the terms of an APO is a

sanctionable violation.

This administrative review and notice

are issued and published in accordance

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of

the Act and 19 CFR 351.221.

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

antidumping duty administrative

review.

SUMMARY: On October 19, 2000, the

Department of Commerce published the

preliminary results of administrative

review of the antidumping duty order

on large newspaper printing presses and

components thereof, whether assembled

or unassembled, from Germany (65 FR

62695). This review covers MAN Roland

Druckmaschinen AG, a manufacturer/

exporter of the subject merchandise to

the United States. The period of review

is September 1, 1998, through August

31, 1999.

We gave interested parties an

opportunity to comment on the

preliminary results. In addition, during

January 2001 we requested, and MAN

Roland submitted, updated cost and

payment information on U.S. and home

market sales. Based on our analysis of

the comments received and the updated

information, we have made changes in

the margin calculations. Therefore, the
