* This rate did not change as a result of the correction.                                                       

    Because we issued final results of reviews for these firms for the 
subsequent period, May 1, 1994 through April 30, 1995, on January 6, 
1997 (scheduled to be published in the Federal Register on January 15, 
1997), we will not change the cash deposit rates for the above firms to 
reflect these amended final results of reviews.
    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 orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction 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 this 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: January 14, 1997.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
