SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 31, 1996, the Department published the preliminary results 
of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on pure 
magnesium from Canada (61 FR 39947). The Department has now completed 
this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (``the Tariff Act'').

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    Unless otherwise stated, 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

    The product covered by this review is pure magnesium. Pure 
unwrought magnesium contains at least 99.8 percent magnesium by weight 
and is sold in various slab and ingot forms and sizes. Granular and 
secondary magnesium are excluded from the scope of this review. Pure 
magnesium is currently classified under subheading 8104.11.0000 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (``HTS''). HTS item numbers are provided for 
convenience and for Customs purposes. The written description remains 
dispositive.
    The review covers one Canadian manufacturer/exporter, Norsk Hydro 
Canada Inc. (``NHCI''), and the period February 20, 1992, through July 
31, 1993.

Final Results of Review

    In its preliminary results of administrative review, the Department 
stated that there were no appropriate U.S. sales to analyze which were 
associated with the entries covered by this review and hence, there was 
no basis for assessing antidumping duties on these entries. The 
Department received no comments regarding this finding. Therefore, as 
stated in the preliminary results, we will liquidate these entries 
without regard to antidumping duties.
    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for all shipments of the subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn 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 the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section 
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for NHCI will be 
0.00 percent, the rate established in the third administrative review 
of this order (61 FR 41772, August 12, 1996); (2) for previously 
reviewed or investigated companies, 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 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) if neither the 
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous 
review, the cash deposit rate will be 21 percent, the ``all others'' 
rate established in Pure Magnesium from Canada: Amendment of Final 
Determination of Sales at Less than Fair Value and Order in Accordance 
with Decision on Remand, 58 FR 62643 (November 29, 1993).
    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 the only reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Failure to comply is a 
violation of the APO.
    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 16, 1996.
Robert S. La Russa,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
