SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 30, 1992, the Department published in the Federal Register 
the antidumping duty order on high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from 
Germany (57 FR 29062). On June 7, 1994, the Department published a 
notice in the Federal Register notifying interested parties of the 
opportunity to request an administrative review of high-tenacity rayon 
filament yarn from Germany (59 FR 29441). On June 30, 1994, Akzo, a 
producer/exporter, requested, in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(a), that 
we conduct an administrative review of exports to the United States by 
Akzo Nobel Faser A.G. and Akzo Nobel Fibers, Inc., for the period June 
1, 1993, through May 31, 1994. We published a notice of initiation of 
the antidumping duty administrative review on July 15, 1994 (59 FR 
36160). On July 12, 1995, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the preliminary results of its administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on high-tenacity rayon filament yarn from 
Germany (60 FR 35896). The Department has now completed that review in 
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).

Applicable Statutes and Regulations

    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.

Scope of the Review

    The product covered by this administrative review is high-tenacity 
rayon filament yarn from Germany. During the review period, such 
merchandise was classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) 
item number 5403.10.30.40. High-tenacity rayon filament yarn is a 
multifilament single yarn of viscose rayon with a twist of five turns 
or more per meter, having a denier of 1100 or greater, and a tenacity 
greater than 35 centinewtons per tax. The HTS item numbers are provided 
for convenience and Customs purposes. The written description remains 
dispositive as to the scope of this proceeding.

Final Results of the Review

    We invited interested parties to comment on the preliminary 
results. We received no comments. The final results are therefore 
unchanged from those presented in the preliminary results, and we 
determine that a margin of zero percent exists for Akzo for the period 
June 1, 1993, through May 31, 1994.
    Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective 
for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of these 
final results, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The 
cash deposit rate for Akzo will be the rate established in the final 
results of this review, which in this case, is a zero cash deposit 
rate; (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 review, a prior review, or the original less than 
fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate 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 by the Department, the cash deposit rate 
will be 24.58 percent, the all other rate established in the LTFV 
investigation.
    These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until publication 
of the final results of the next administrative review.
    This notice 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 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 disposition 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 an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    This administrative review and notice are in accordance with 
section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 353.22.

    Dated: September 22, 1995.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
