Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 38 / Monday, February 26, 2001 / Notices 11557

1As explained in the Preliminary Results, MHI’s

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.

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.

Dated: February 16, 2001.

Background

This review covers one manufacturer/

exporter, MAN Roland Druckmaschinen

AG (MAN Roland).

On October 19, 2000, the Department

of Commerce published in the Federal

Register 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) (Preliminary Results).1

We invited parties to comment on our

preliminary results of review. We

received case briefs from the petitioner

and the respondent on November 27,

2000, and rebuttal briefs from both

parties on December 4, 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 (RTP), which is any

component that feeds a roll of paper

more than two 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, U.S. 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.

Further, this review covers all current

and future printing technologies capable

of printing newspapers, including, but

not limited to, lithographic (offset or

direct), flexographic, and letterpress

systems. The products covered by this

review are imported into the United

States under subheadings 8443.11.10,

8443.11.50, 8443.30.00, 8443.59.50,

8443.60.00, and 8443.90.50 of the

HTSUS. Large newspaper printing

presses may also enter under HTSUS

subheadings 8443.21.00 and 8443.40.00.

Large newspaper printing press

computerized control systems may enter

under HTSUS subheadings 8471.49.10,

8471.49.21, 8471.49.26, 8471.50.40,

8471.50.80, and 8537.10.90. Although

the HTSUS subheadings are provided

for convenience and customs purposes,

our written description of the scope of

this review is dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

All issues raised in the case and

rebuttal briefs by parties to this

administrative review are addressed in

the ‘‘Issues and Decision Memorandum’’

(Decision Memorandum) from Richard

W. Moreland, Deputy Assistant

Secretary for Import Administration, to

Bernard T. Carreau, fulfilling the duties

of Assistant Secretary for Import

Administration, dated February 15,

2001, which is hereby adopted by this

notice. A list of the issues which parties

have raised and to which we have

responded, all of which are in the

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 margin

exists for the period September 1, 1998

through August 31, 1999:

Manufacturer/

exporter Period Margin(percent)

MAN Roland

Druckmaschinen AG ... 9/1/98–8/31/99 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 MAN Roland,

we have calculated an importer-specific

assessment rate by aggregating the

dumping margins calculated for all

examined sales and dividing by the

entered value of those sales. This rate

will be assessed uniformly on all entries

of that particular importer made with

respect to the U.S. sale 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 Germany 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 rate for MAN

Roland will be the rate established

above in the ‘‘Final Results of the

Review’’ section; (2) for previously

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, 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 30.72 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 351.305(a)(3). 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.
