Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 
Antidumping Order: Gray Portland Cement and Clinker From Japan

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

SUMMARY: The appeal period for the court decision in Nihon Cement Co., 
Ltd. et al. v. United States, Slip Op. 95-53 has expired. Accordingly, 
given that the decision was not appealed, the Department is amending 
its final determination of sales at less than fair value and order in 
the antidumping duty investigation of Gray Portland Cement and Clinker 
from Japan (Cement from Japan) in accordance with that decision.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 1, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michelle Frederick or John Brinkmann, 
Office of Antidumping Investigations, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C., 20230; 
telephone (202) 482-0186 or 482-5288, respectively.

BACKGROUND: On March 28, 1995, in the case of Nihon Cement Co., Ltd. et 
al. v. United States, Slip Op. 95-53 (Nihon), the United States Court 
of International Trade (CIT) affirmed the Department's redetermination 
on remand of the investigation of sales at less than fair value of 
Cement from Japan (56 FR 12156, March 22, 1991, as amended by 56 FR 
21658, May 10, 1991). In that redetermination, the Department 
recalculated the deposit rates of Onoda Cement Co. (Onoda), Nihon 
Cement Co., Ltd.(Nihon), and the ``All Others'' rate. On May 10, 1995, 
the Department published notice of the court decision and the new rates 
(60 FR 24832, May 10, 1995). In that notice the Department stated that 
it must continue to suspend liquidation until a ``conclusive'' decision 
in this action is reached. Because none of the parties appealed the 
CIT's decision and the opportunity to appeal has expired, the 
Department is amending the rates calculated in the final determination 
and order. The new rates are: 70.52 for Onoda; 69.89 for Nihon; and 
70.23 for ``All Others''. We will instruct Customs to continue to 
suspend liquidation, and collect cash deposits, at the new rates for 
Nihon and ``All Others''. The effective cash deposit rate for Onoda has 
been determined by a subsequent administrative review, and is therefore 
not affected by the recalculation of these rates.

    Dated: July 25, 1995.
Paul L. Joffe,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
