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. & 
Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, D.C. 20230: telephone (202) 482-3207 
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.
