manufacturers/exporters. The review period is March 1, 1993, through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 21, 1995, the Department published in the Federal
Register the preliminary results of its 1993-1994 administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on shop towels from Bangladesh (60 FR
48970).
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 Review
The product covered by this administrative review is shop towels.
Shop towels are absorbent industrial wiping cloths made from a loosely
woven fabric. The fabric may be either 100 percent cotton or a blend of
materials. Shop towels are currently classifiable under item numbers
6307.10.2005 and 6307.10.2015 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedules (HTS).
Although HTS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the scope of this proceeding
remains dispositive.
Final Results of Review
We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on our
preliminary results. We received no comments. Therefore, we determine
that the following percentage weighted-average margins exist for the
period March 1, 1993, through February 28, 1994:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margin
Manufacturer/exporter (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sonar Cotton Mills (Bangladesh) Ltd.......................... 42.31
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ No shipments or sales subject to this review; rate is from LTFV
investigation.
The Department shall determine, and the Customs Service shall
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Individual
differences between United States price and foreign market value may
vary from the percentages stated above. The Department will issue
appraisement instructions on each exporter directly to the Customs
Service.
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for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from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 publication date of these
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for the reviewed
companies will be those rates established above (except that if the
rate for a firm is de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 percent, a cash
deposit of zero will be required for that firm); (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 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)
if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this
or any previous review or the original investigation, the cash deposit
rate will be 4.60 percent, the ``All Others'' rate established in the
LTFV investigation (57 FR 3996).
These 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
[[Page 5378]]
protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d)(1). 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: February 1, 1996.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
