SUMMARY: On May 26, 1994, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
submitted to the Court of International Trade (CIT) the final results 
of redetermination pursuant to a remand in Momoi Fishing Net Mfg. Co. 
v. United States (Court No. 93-09-00522, February 28, 1994). On

final results of the administrative review for the June 1, 1990, 
through May 31, 1991, period with respect to Momoi Fishing Net 
Manufacturing Co. (Momoi). Momoi's rate is zero percent for the 1990-
1991 period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 28, 1994, the CIT, in Momoi Fishing Net Mfg. Co. v. 
United States (Court No. 93-09-00522, February 28, 1994), remanded to 
the Department for redetermination the final results of the June 1, 
1990, through May 31, 1991, administrative review of the antidumping 
finding on fishnetting of man-made fiber from Japan (37 FR 11560, June 
9, 1972).
    In the Department's final results of administrative review, the 
dumping margin for Momoi's fishnetting sold or imported into the United 
States for the period June 1, 1990, through May 31, 1991, was 2.67 
percent. Momoi's dumping margin for those final results was calculated 
based on the price to Momoi's U.S. importers (see Fishnetting of Man-
Made Fiber from Japan; Final Results of Antidumping Administrative 
Review, 58 FR 42291 (August 9, 1993)). Based on the information on the 
record, the Department concluded that the price to Momoi's U.S. 
importers included U.S. Customs duties and brokerage expenses.
    On February 28, 1994, the CIT remanded this case to the Department 
to reconsider whether Momoi's C.I.F. sales excluded any charges for 
U.S. Customs duties and U.S. brokerage charges in the calculation of 
United States price (USP) for Momoi (see Momoi Fishing Net Mfg. Co. v. 
United States (Court No. 93-09-00522)).

Final Remand Results

    In accordance with the CIT's order, the Department revised its 
final results with respect to Momoi for the 1990-1991 administrative 
review of fishnetting of man-made fiber from Japan. Based on additional 
documents provided by Momoi in response to a supplemental questionnaire 
issued by the Department, we determined that Momoi's C.I.F. sales 
prices excluded U.S. Customs duties and U.S. brokerage charges. We 
determined that the revised weighted-average margin based on this 
information for the period June 1, 1990, through May 31, 1991, is zero 
percent.

Final Results of Redetermination

    On September 8, 1994, the CIT affirmed our redetermination (Slip 
Op. 94-140). In accordance with that affirmation, we are hereby 
amending the final results of the administrative review for the June 1, 
1990, through May 31, 1991 period with respect to Momoi. Momoi's rate 
for the 1990-1991 period is zero percent.
    Since we have not conducted an administrative review of Momoi for a 
later period, we will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to apply these 
amended results as a cash deposit for entries of merchandise produced 
by Momoi. This deposit requirement, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until publication of the final results of the next 
administrative review.
    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.
    This amendment to final results of antidumping duty administrative 
review notice is in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of Tariff Act (19 
U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 353.22.

    Dated: November 14, 1994.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
