Decision Following a Petition by Domestic Interested Parties 
Concerning the Location and Method of Country of Origin Marking for 
Imported Cast Iron Soil Pipes; Correction

AGENCY: U.S. Customs Service, Department of the Treasury.

ACTION: Final interpretive rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects two errors in the decision published on 
November 15, 1994, in the Federal Register (59 FR 58771) concerning the 
location and method of country of origin marking of cast iron soil 
pipes. Firstly, the document corrects the effective date of the marking 
requirements set forth in the document. The marking requirements set 
forth in the decision shall become effective as to merchandise entered 
or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption after December 23, 1994. 
Secondly, the document referred to the method of marking on the sample 
pipe as die stamping when the actual method of marking on the sample 
pipe was cast-in-mold.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Dinerstein, Office of 
Regulations and Rulings, (202) 482-7010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 15, 1994, a document was 
published in the Federal Register (59 FR 58771) giving notice that 
Customs has made a determination pursuant to a petition filed by 
domestic interested parties that cast iron soil pipes like the samples 
submitted to Customs and that are subject to the requirements of 
section 304(c), Tariff Act of 1930, as amended are not legibly marked 
in a conspicuous location to indicate their country of origin by die 
stamping the letters covered by tar at the edge or lip of the pipe. Die 
stamping was not the actual method of marking on the samples. 
Accordingly, this correction document remedies that error by correctly 
describing the method of marking as cast-in-mold. This correction does 
not change the conclusion in the decision that the marking on the 
sample pipe was neither legible nor in a conspicuous location.
    The decision published in the Federal Register on November 15 also 
incorrectly set forth the effective date of the marking requirements 
set forth in the decision. Instead of stating that the effective date 
is a date 30 days after the date of publication of such notice to the 
petitioner in the Customs Bulletin, as required by Sec. 175.22, Customs 
Regulations (19 CFR 175.22), the effective date set forth in the 
document incorrectly was 30 days after the date of publication of the 
decision in the Federal Register. The decision was published in the 
Customs Bulletin on November 23, 1994. Accordingly, the correct 
effective date is December 23, 1994. The marking requirements set forth 
in the decision published on November 15, 1994 in the Federal Register 
(59 FR 58771) as T.D. 94-88 concerning cast iron soil pipe shall become 
effective as to merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse for 
consumption on December 23, 1994. After that date, cast iron soil pipe 
like the samples submitted to Customs pursuant to the domestic 
interested party petition entered for consumption or withdrawn from 
warehouse for consumption and not marked to indicate their country of 
origin consistent with the November 15 decision and other marking 
requirements of the Tariff Act and Customs Regulations shall be 
assessed marking duties.

    Dated: November 21, 1994.
