SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 12 and December 13, 1994, the CIT issued orders 
directing the Department to recalculate the valued-added tax (VAT) 
according to the methodology employed in Federal Mogul v. United 
States, 834 F. Supp. 1391 (CIT 1993) (Federal Mogul) for various 
companies for the periods April 1, 1987 through March 31, 1988 (fourth 
review), April 1, 1989 through March 31, 1990 (sixth review), and April 
1, 1990 through March 31, 1991 (seventh review). Also, on December 12, 
1994, the CIT directed the Department to re-examine its use of the most 
adverse (first-tier) best information available (BIA) for AOC 
International, Inc. in the seventh review in light of Allied Signal 
Aerospace Co., v. United States, 996 F. 2d. 1185, (Fed. Cir. 1993).
    Pursuant to the instructions of the CIT, the Department 
recalculated the VAT consistent with the methodology employed in 
Federal Mogul, for various companies for the fourth, sixth and seventh 
reviews. The Department also reconsidered its use of first-tier BIA for 
AOC for the seventh review, and determined that the application of 
first-tier BIA was reasonable. On April 19, 1995, the CIT affirmed our 
use of first-tier BIA in the seventh review. On April 25, 1995, the CIT 
affirmed our application of the VAT methodology in the fourth, sixth 
and seventh reviews. As a result of this application, we have 
determined that the weighted-average margins for each company are as 
follows:

Amended Final Results of Review

    Based on our revised calculations, we have amended our final 
results of reviews for the period April 1, 1987 through March 31, 1988, 
April 1, 1989 through March 31, 1990, and April 1, 1990 through March 
31, 1991. Because AOC filed an appeal with the United States Court of 
Appeals for the Federal Circuit concerning the final results for the 
fourth review, the Department will publish the rate for AOC in that 
review after the appeal has been resolved and the decision is final and 
conclusive. 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 for each exporter.
    This notice serves as a 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 the review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the presumption that reimbursement of 
antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.
    This amendment of final results of review and notice are in 
accordance with section 751(f) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 
1673 (d) and 19 CFR 353.28(c).

    Dated: February 12, 1996.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
