SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 16, 1993, the Department published the final results of 
its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on porcelain-
on-steel cooking ware from Mexico (58 FR 43327). The review covered the 
period December 1, 1989 through November 30, 1990.
    On August 24, 1993, we received a letter from counsel for CINSA, 
S.A., alleging that the Department had made ministerial errors. 
Petitioner submitted rebuttals to respondent's comments on September 1, 
1993. On December 23, 1993, we determined that ministerial errors were 
made. (See Memorandum to Joseph A. Spetrini dated December 23, 1993; 
Corrections of Alleged Clerical/Ministerial Errors in Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review.) Although these final results are the subject of 
litigation before the Court of International Trade (the Court), by 
order dated March 31, 1994, the Court granted the Department leave to 
correct these errors.

Amended Final Results of Review

    After reviewing all comments, we have corrected the errors where 
appropriate.
    We corrected the double counting of CINSA's freight expenses for 
U.S. sales by deducting only the U.S. dollar factor amount, instead of 
both the dollar and pesos amounts, from U.S. prices to arrive at the 
net price used in our price-to-price comparisons.
    We recalculated the brokerage charges on U.S. sales and used the 
correct brokerage expense factor to derive total brokerage charges.
    We made an additional correction. We recalculated the home market 
sales price used in our determination of sales below cost by adding the 
value added tax to the home market price as stated in our notice of 
final results.
    For further discussion of the Department's positions on the above 
corrections, see Memorandum to Joseph A. Spetrini dated December 23, 
1993; Corrections of Alleged Clerical/Ministerial Errors in Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review.
    As a result of our corrections of clerical errors, we determine the 
margin for CINSA, S.A., to be 6.71 percent.
    Based on this rate, the Department will instruct the Customs 
Service to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties and to 
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in accordance with 
the procedures discussed in the final results of this review (58 FR 
43327). These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until publication of the final results of the next 
administrative review.
    This notice also serves as a final 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 the 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 is in accordance with sections 751(f) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(f)) and 19 CFR 353.28(c).

    Dated: April 30, 1994.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
