Industrial Nitrocellulose From the United Kingdom; Amendment of 
Final Results of Antidumping Administrative Review

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

ACTION: Notice of amendment of final results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review.

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

SUMMARY: We are amending our final results of administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on industrial nitrocellulose (INC) from the 
United Kingdom published on December 28, 1994, to reflect the 
correction of a ministerial error made in the margin calculation in 
those final results. We are publishing this amendment to the final 
results in accordance with 19 CFR 353.28(c).

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 14, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rebecca Trainor or Maureen Flannery of 
the Office of Antidumping Compliance, Import Administration, 
International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 
Street and Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington D.C. 20230; telephone 
(202) 482-4733.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The review covers one exporter, Imperial Chemical Industries PLC, 
and the period July 1, 1992 through June 30, 1993. The Department of 
Commerce (the Department) published the preliminary results on May 12, 
1994 (59 FR 24684), and the final results on December 28, 1994 (59 FR 
66902).

Scope of Review

    This review covers shipments of INC from the United Kingdom. INC is 
a dry, white, amorphous synthetic chemical with a nitrogen content 
between 10.8 and 12.2 percent, which is produced from the reaction of 
cellulose with nitric acid. It is used as a film-former in coatings, 
lacquers, furniture finishes, and printing inks. INC is currently 
classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) item number 
3912.20.00. The HTS subheading is provided for convenience and U.S. 
Customs Service purposes. The written description remains dispositive. 
The scope of the antidumping order does not include explosive grade 
nitrocellulose, which has a nitrogen content of greater than 12.2 
percent.

Amended Final Results

    On January 4, 1995, the petitioner, the Aqualon Company, alleged 
that the Department had committed a ministerial error in calculating 
the final anitdumping duty margin. The petitioner alleged that the 
Department had double-counted the home market commission offset. We 
have reviewed this allegation, and agree with petitioner. We have 
therefore amended our final results for this ministerial error.

Final Results of Review

    Upon review of the allegation submitted, the Department has 
determined that the following margin exists for the period July 1, 1992 
through June 30, 1993:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Time      Margin 
               Manufacturer/exporter                  period   (percent)

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

    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 this notice of amended final results of review for 
all shipments of INC from the United Kingdom entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended: 
(1) The cash deposit rate for the reviewed company will be the rate 
listed above; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not 
listed above, 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 or a previous review or the less-than-
fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established in the LTFV investigation for 
the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for 
all other manufacturers or exporters will be the ``all others'' rate of 
11.13 percent established in the final notice of the LTFV 
investigation.
    Unless otherwise stated, all citations to the statutes and to the 
Department's regulations are references to the provisions as they 
existed on December 31, 1994. This administrative review and notice are 
in accordance with section 751(f) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673(d)) and 
section 353.28(c) of the Department's regulations.
