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

ACTION: Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Reviews.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 29, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of its administrative reviews of the 
antidumping duty order on color television receivers (CTVs) from the 
Republic of Korea covering exports of this merchandise to the United 
States by the manufacturer Daewoo Electronics Co., Ltd. (Daewoo). Based 
on our review of these exports during the period April 1, 1988 through 
March 31, 1989, we found a margin of 4.00 percent. Daewoo had no 
shipments during the April 1, 1989 through March 31, 1990, 
administrative review period. We invited interested parties to comment 
on the preliminary results. We received comments from the Independent 
Radionic Workers of America, International Union of Electronic, 
Electrical, Technical, Salaried, and Machine Workers, AFL-CIO, the 
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers of America, and the 
Industrial Union Department, AFL-CIO (collectively the petitioners) and 
Daewoo stating that they have no objection to our preliminary results. 
Therefore, our final results of review remain unchanged from those 
presented in our preliminary results.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 19, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 29, 1994 (59 FR 33487), the Department published in the 
Federal Register the preliminary results of its administrative reviews 
of the antidumping duty order on CTVs from the Republic of Korea (49 FR 
18336; April 1984) covering exports of this merchandise to the United 
States by the manufacturer, Daewoo. For administrative convenience, we 
have combined the results of two reviews covering the periods April 1, 
1988 through March 31, 1989, and April 1, 1989 through March 31, 1990, 
for this manufacturer. We have now completed these administrative 
reviews in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act).

Scope of the Review

    Imports covered by these reviews include CTVs, complete and 
incomplete, from the Republic of Korea. The order covers all CTVs 
regardless of tariff classification. During the period of review, the 
subject merchandise was classified under item numbers 684.9246, 
684.9248, 684.9250, 684.9252, 684.9253, 684.9255, 684.9256, 684. 9258, 
684.9262, 684.9263, 684.9270, 684.9275, 684.9655, 684.9656, 684.9658, 
684.9660, 684.9663, 684.9864, 684.9866, 687.3512, 687.3513, 687.3514, 
687.3516, 687.3518, and 687.3520 of the Tariff Schedules of the United 
States Annotated (TSUSA). This merchandise is currently classifiable 
under item numbers 8528.10.80, 8529.90.15, 8529.90.20, and 8540.11.00 
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). Although the HTS and TSUSA 
item numbers are provided for convenience and Customs purposes, our 
written description of the scope remains dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

    We invited interested parties to comment on our preliminary results 
of the reviews. We received comments from petitioners and Daewoo 
stating that they have no objection to our preliminary results. 
Therefore, our final results of review remain the same as those 
presented in our preliminary results.

Final Results of the Review

    Based on our review of these exports during the period April 1, 
1988 through March 31, 1989, we determine Daewoo's dumping margin to be 
4.00 percent. Daewoo had no shipments during the April 1, 1989 through 
March 31, 1990, administrative review period.
    The Department shall instruct the U.S. Customs Service to assess 
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department will 
issue appraisement instructions directly to the Customs Service.
    Furthermore, since Daewoo has been reviewed in a period subsequent 
to this period, the cash deposit rate for Daewoo will remain at 0.90 
percent, the company's rate from the most recently reviewed period. 
See, Color Television Receivers from the Republic of Korea; Amendment 
to Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review (59 FR 
21958; April 28, 1994).
    This notice 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 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 notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibilities 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Failure to 
comply is a violation of the APO.
    These administrative reviews and notice are in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) 
and 19 CFR 353.22.

    Dated: August 13, 1994.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
