SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 31, 1995, the Department published in the Federal 
Register (60 FR 5898) the preliminary results of its administrative 
review of the antidumping finding on bicycle speedometers from Japan 
(37 FR 24826, November 22, 1972). On February 27, 1995, we received 
comments from the respondent, Cateye. The Department has now completed 
that administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of the Review

    Imports covered by the review are shipments of bicycle 
speedometers. This merchandise is currently classifiable under the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) item numbers 9029.20.20, 9029.40.80, 
and 9029.90.40. HTS item numbers are provided for convenience and 
Customs purposes. Our written description remains dispositive.
    The review covers the shipments of Cateye, a manufacturer/exporter 
of bicycle speedometers during the period November 1, 1992 through 
October 31, 1993.

Analysis of Comments Received

    We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the 
preliminary results as provided by section 353.38 of the Department's 
regulations. We received comments from the respondent, Cateye.
    Comment 1: Cateye commented that in the preliminary calculations 
the Department inappropriately included sales in the home market data 
base that occurred outside the period of review.
    Department's Response: We agree and have corrected the programming 
accordingly.
    Comment 2: Cateye commented that for certain models sold in the 
United States, we failed to compare the most similar merchandise sold 
in the home market.
    Department's Response: We agree that for the models mentioned in 
Cateye's comment, we failed to compare models sold in the United States 
with the most similar merchandise sold in the home market. The most 
similar merchandise for models with black cases sold in the United 
States are home market models with black cases, and the most similar 
merchandise for models with colored cases sold in the United States are 
home market models with colored cases. We have recalculated our results 
accordingly.

Final Results of Review

    As a result of our review, we have determined that the following 
margin exists for the period November 1, 1992 through October 31, 1993:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Margin  
                    Manufacturer/exporter                      (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cateye Co., Ltd.............................................        1.44
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department shall determine, and the Customs Service shall 
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Individual 
differences between U.S. price and foreign market value may vary from 
the percentage stated above. The Department will issue appraisement 
instructions directly to the Customs Service.
    Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective 
upon publication of these final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after that publication date, as 
provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act, and will remain in effect 
until publication of the final results of the next administrative 
review: (1) The cash deposit rate for the reviewed company will be 1.44 
percent;
    (2) for exporters not covered in this review, but covered in 
previous reviews or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the 
company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if 
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, 
or the original LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent 
period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither 
the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any 
previous review, the cash deposit rate will be 26.44 percent, which 
is the ``new shipper'' rate established in the first administrative 
review in accordance with the Court of International Trade's (CIT's) 
decisions in Floral Trade Council v. United States, 822 F. Supp. 766 
(CIT 1993), and Federal Mogul Corporation and the Torrington Company 
v. the United States, 822 F Supp. 782 (CIT 1993). We are basing the 
``all others'' rate on the ``new [[Page 29553]] shipper'' rate 
established in the first final results of administrative review 
published by the Department (47 FR 28978, July 2, 1982) because this 
proceeding is governed by an antidumping finding, and we are unable 
to ascertain the ``all others'' rate from the Treasury LTFV 
investigation.
    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 this review period.
    Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the 
Secretary's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties has 
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written 
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and the terms of APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)), and 19 CFR 
353.22.

    Dated: May 26, 1995.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
