Any interested party may request a

See 19 CFR 351.310(c). If requested, a

rebuttal briefs, limited to the issues

raised in the respective case briefs, may

be submitted not later than 30 days and

See 19 CFR 351.309(c) and (d). Parties

later than 120 days after the date of

Interested parties who wish to request

(1) The party’s name, address and

telephone number; (2) the number of

Assessment Rates

The Department shall determine, and

the Customs Service shall assess,

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries. The Department will issue

appropriate appraisement instructions

directly to the Customs Service upon

completion of this review. The final

results of this review shall be the basis

for the assessment of antidumping

duties on entries of merchandise

covered by the final results of this

review and for future deposits of

estimated duties. We will instruct the

Customs Service to assess antidumping

duties on all appropriate entries covered

by this review if any importer-specific

assessment rate calculated in the final

results of this review is above de

minimis (See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)). For

assessment purposes, we intend to

calculate importer-specific assessment

rates for the subject merchandise by

aggregating the dumping margins

calculated for all U.S. sales examined

and dividing this amount by the total

entered value of the sales examined. In

order to estimate the entered value, we

will subtract applicable movement

expenses from the gross sales value.

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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 the final results of

this administrative review, as provided

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

cash deposit rates for the reviewed

companies will be those established in

the final results of this review, except if

the rate is less than 0.50 percent, and

therefore, de minimis within the

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(C)(1), in

which case 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 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 11.26

percent, the ‘‘All Others’’ rate made

effective by the LTFV investigation.

These requirements, when imposed,

shall remain in effect until publication

of the final results of the next

administrative review.

Notification to Importers

This notice also serves as a

preliminary 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.

This administrative review and notice

are published in accordance with

sections 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR

351.221. Effective January 20, 2001,

Bernard T. Carreau, is fulfilling the

duties of the Assistant Secretary of

Import Administration.

Dated: February 28, 2001.

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Import

Administration.
