SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 10, 1991, the Department published in the Federal Register 
(56 FR 31378) the final results of the fifth administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on color television receivers, except for 
video monitors, from Taiwan, covering the period April 1, 1988, through 
March 31, 1989.
    Subsequent to the Department's final results, Zenith Electronics 
Corporation, a domestic producer, alleged before the Court that the 
Department erred in calculating the value added tax (VAT) for the 
above-named companies. The Court agreed and remanded the issue to the 
Department to recalculate the VAT according to the Department's new 
methodology set out in Independent Radionic Workers of America v. 
United States, Slip Op. 94-144 (September 16, 1994). As a result of the 
recalculation, we have determined that the weighted-average margins for 
each company are as follows:


Action...........................................  2.20 percent.        
AOC..............................................  1.53 percent.        
Funai............................................  4.44 percent.        
Hitachi..........................................  10.82 percent.       
Kuang Yuan.......................................  0.0000 percent.      
Nettek...........................................  10.82 percent.       
Paramount........................................  10.82 percent.       
Philips..........................................  10.82 percent.       
Proton...........................................  0.60 percent.        
RCA..............................................  5.74 percent.        
Sampo............................................  0.78 percent.        
Sanyo............................................  4.66 percent.        
Shinlee..........................................  10.14 percent.       
Shirasuna........................................  10.82 percent.       
Tatung...........................................  0.0003 percent.      
Teco.............................................  5.46 percent.        
                                                                        

    The decision became final on March 9, 1995, when the Court issued 
its final decision on this administrative review in Zenith.

Amended Final Results of Review

    Based on our revised calculations, we have amended our final 
results of review for the period April 1, 1988, through March 31, 1989. 
The amended weighted-average margins for each company are shown above. 
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 
percentages stated above. The Department will issue appraisement 
instructions directly to the Customs Service.
    This notice is in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and Sec. 353.22 of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: July 26, 1995.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
