SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 27, 1995, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of its administrative review of the 
antidumping finding (37 FR 11773, June 14, 1972) on large power 
transformers from Japan in the Federal Register (57 FR 53468). The 
Department has now completed that administrative review in accordance 
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Tariff 
Act).

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute and to the 
Department's regulations are references to the provisions as they 
existed on December 31, 1994.

Scope of the Review

    Imports covered by the review are shipments of large power 
transformers; that is, all types of transformers rated 10,000 kVA 
(kilovolt-amperes) or above, by whatever name designated, used in the 
generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric 
power. The term ``transformers'' includes, but is not limited to, shunt 
reactors, autotransformers, rectifier transformers, and power rectifier 
transformers. Not included are combination units, commonly known as 
rectiformers, if the entire integrated assembly is imported in the same 
shipment and entered on the same entry and the assembly has been 
ordered and invoiced as a unit, without a separate price for the 
transformer portion of the assembly. This merchandise is currently 
classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) item numbers 
8504.22.00, 8504.23.00, 8504.34.33, 8504.40.00, and 8504.50.00. The HTS 
item numbers are provided for convenience and Customs purposes. The 
written description remains dispositive.
    The review covers one manufacturer/exporter of transformers, Fuji 
Electric Co., Ltd. (Fuji). The period of review is June 1, 1993, 
through May 31, 1994.

Final Results of Review

    Although we gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on 
the preliminary results, we did not receive any comments. Because Fuji 
reported, and the Department verified through the Customs Service, that 
Fuji made no shipments to the United States during the period of 
review, a cash deposit rate of 5.90 percent, which is Fuji's rate from 
the final results of the last review period in which Fuji made 
shipments, will remain in effect for Fuji.
    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, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the 
Tariff Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the reviewed company will be 
the rate as 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 review, a prior review, or 
the original less-than-fair-value 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) the cash 
deposit rate for all other manufactures or exporters will continue to 
be 10.63 percent (see Large Power Transformers from Japan; Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 59 FR 44498, August 
23, 1993).
    These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until 
publication of the final results of the next administrative review.
    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 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 
the 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 Tariff Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 
353.22.

    Dated: September 20, 1995.
Paul L. Joffe,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
