Amended Antidumping Duty Order: Calcium Aluminate Flux From 
France

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 14, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Irene Darzenta or Kate Johnson, Office 
of Antidumping Investigations, Import Administration, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC. 20230; telephone (202) 482-

Amendment of Antidumping Duty Order

    On June 13, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published in the Federal Register (59 FR 30337) the Antidumping Duty 
Order on Calcium Aluminate Flux from France.
    In this order, the Department inadvertently stated that the 
International Trade Commission (ITC) notified the Department that 
imports of CA flux from France materially injure a U.S. industry. The 
ITC had found, pursuant to section 735(b)(4)(B) of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (the Act), that an industry in the United States is 
threatened with material injury, but that material injury would not 
have been found but for the suspension of liquidation of entries of the 
merchandise under investigation.
    Therefore, we are amending the suspension of liquidation provisions 
of the order in accordance with section 736(b)(2) of the Act.

Antidumping Duty Order

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, on March 25, 1994, 
the Department published in the Federal Register its final 
determination that calcium aluminate (CA) flux from France is being 
sold at less than fair value (59 FR 14136). We amended our final 
determination on May 9, 1994 (see 59 FR 25446, May 16, 1994) to correct 
a clerical error. On June 6, 1994, in accordance with section 735(d) of 
the Act, the ITC notified the Department that an industry in the United 
States is threatened with material injury by reason of such imports. 
The ITC further determined, pursuant to section 735(b)(4)(B) of the 
Act, that it would not have found material injury, but for the 
suspension of liquidation of entries of CA flux from France.
    When the ITC finds threat of material injury, and also makes its 
``but for'' finding, the ``Special Rule'' provision of section 
736(b)(2) applies. Therefore, all entries of CA flux from France, 
entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption made on or after 
June 15, 1994 (the date on which the ITC published its final 
affirmative determination of threat of material injury in the Federal 
Register), will be liable for the assessment of antidumping duties.

Suspension of Liquidation

    The Department will direct U.S. Customs officers to terminate the 
suspension of liquidation for entries of CA flux from France, entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption before June 15, 1994, (the 
date on which the ITC published its final affirmative determination of 
threat of material injury in the Federal Register), and to release any 
bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit, posted to secure 
the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to those 
entries.
    The Department will direct U.S. Customs officers to assess, upon 
further advice by the administering authority pursuant to section 
736(a)(1) of the Act, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which 
the foreign market value of the merchandise exceeds the United States 
price for all relevant entries of CA flux from France. U.S. Customs 
officers must require, at the same time as importers would normally 
deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to 
the estimated weighted-average antidumping duty margin as noted below:
