Administrative review.

SUMMARY: On October 4, 1996, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published the final results of its administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on fresh kiwifruit from New Zealand. The 
review covers one exporter, the New Zealand Kiwifruit Marketing Board 
(NZKMB), and the period of review (POR) from June 1, 1993 through May

final results, we are amending the final results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 3, 1996, the Department published the final results 
(61 FR 46438) of its administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on fresh kiwifruit from New Zealand (57 FR 23203 (June 2, 1992)) 
for the POR covering June 1, 1994 through May 31, 1995. The review 
covered one exporter, the NZKMB. On October 4, 1996 the Department 
published the final results for the POR covering May 31, 1993 through 
June 1, 1994. The Department has now amended the final results of the 
1993-1994 administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 353.28(c).

Applicable Regulations

    Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department's 
regulations are to the current regulations, as amended by the interim 
regulations published in the Federal Register on May 11, 1995 (60 FR 
25130).

Scope of the Review

    The product covered by the order under review is fresh kiwifruit. 
Processed kiwifruit, including fruit jams, jellies, pastes, purees, 
mineral waters, or juices made from or containing kiwifruit, are not 
covered under the scope of the order. The subject merchandise is 
currently classifiable under subheading 0810.90.20.60 of the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule (HTS). Although the HTS number is provided for 
convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope 
of this review is dispositive.

Clarification of Cash Deposit Instructions

    Insofar as the final results for the more current review period, 
June 1, 1994 through May 31, 1995, were published prior to the final 
results in the 1993-1994 review period, the Department must amend the

[[Page 27722]]

instructions on antidumping duty cash deposits. Accordingly, the 
following cash deposit information supersedes the cash deposit 
instructions contained in the October 4, 1996 final results for the 
review covering May 31, 1993 through June 1, 1994.
    Since final results for a more current review period, June 1, 1994 
through May 31, 1995, were published on September 3, 1996, the cash 
deposit instructions contained in that notice will apply to all 
shipments to the United States of subject merchandise entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 3, 
1996. The dumping margins established for the June 1, 1993 through May 
31, 1994 POR will have no effect on the cash deposit rate for any firm. 
The margin results will apply for liquidation of shipments entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the June 1, 1993 
through May 31, 1994 POR only.
    This notice is in accordance with 19 CFR 353.28.

    Dated: May 13, 1997.
Jeffrey P. Bialos,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
