Roller Chain, Other Than Bicycle, From Japan: Amended Final
Results of Expedited Sunset Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce
ACTION: Notice of Amendment to Final Results of Expedited Sunset
Review: Roller Chain, Other Than Bicycle, from Japan
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On November 10, 1998, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') published in the Federal Register (63 FR 63026) the final
results of its expedited sunset review of the antidumping finding on
roller chain, other than bicycle, from Japan. Subsequent to the
publication of the final results, we received comments requesting
correction of ministerial errors appearing in the notice. After
analyzing the comments submitted, we are amending our final results to
correct the ministerial errors. Based on the correction of the
ministerial errors, we removed from the Appendix contained in the
notice of final results, the listing for Enuma Chain/Daido and for
Enuma Chain/Meisi. These combination producers/exporters were not
reviewed in the first administrative review conducted by the Department
and, therefore, should not have been included in the Appendix. In
addition, we are correcting the margin listed in the Appendix for
Sugiyama/HKK from 15 percent to 0.15 percent.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 16, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Martha V. Douthit or Melissa G.
Skinner, Office of Policy for Import Administration, International
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th St. &

or (202) 482-1560, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 10, 1998, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') published in the Federal Register (63 FR 63026) the final
results of its expedited sunset review of the antidumping finding on
roller chain, other than bicycle, from Japan. Subsequent to the
publication of the final results, we received comments on behalf of
Daido Tsusho Co., Ltd. and Daido Corporation (collectively ``Daido'')
requesting correction of ministerial errors appearing in the notice.
Clerical Error Allegations
Daido alleges that the Department stated in its notice of final
results that it intended to use the ``original margins calculated by
the Department'' as reported in Roller Chain, Other Than Bicycle, From
Japan; 46 FR 44488 (September 4, 1981). Because the manufacturer/
exporter combinations of Enuma Chain/Daido and Enuma Chain/Meisi were
not included in the September 4, 1981, notice, they should be deleted
from the November 10, 1998, notice, and from the information reported
to the International Trade Commission. Daido also alleges that the
November 10, 1998, notice of final results contains a typographical
error that should be corrected. Specifically, Daido alleges that the
September 4, 1981, notice shows a dumping margin of ``.15%'' for the
Sugiyama/HKK manufacturer/exporter combination, whereas the November
10, 1998, notice shows a dumping margin of 15% for the combination.
After analyzing the comments submitted, we are amending our final
results to correct the ministerial errors. Based on the correction of
the ministerial errors, we remove from the Appendix contained in the
notice of final result, the listing for Enuma Chain/Daido and for Enuma
Chain/Meisi. These combination producers/exporters were not reviewed in
the first administrative review conducted by the Department and,
therefore, should not have been included in the Appendix. In addition,
we are correcting the margin listed in the Appendix for Sugiyama/HKK
from 15 percent to 0.15 percent.
Amended Final Results of Review
A complete revised Appendix is attached.
This amendment is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(h) and 777(i) of the Act.
