Correction

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) inadvertently misstated 
certain language in the ``Scope of the Investigation'' sections of the 
January 4, 1999 Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value (``LTFV''): Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from France 
(64 FR 130), Germany (64 FR 92), Italy (64 FR 116), Japan (64 FR 108), 
Mexico (64 FR 124), South Korea (64 FR 137), Taiwan (64 FR 101), and 
the United Kingdom (64 FR 85); 1 as well as the Amended 
Preliminary Determination of Sales at Not LTFV: Stainless Steel Sheet 
and Strip in Coils From Taiwan (A-583-831); 2 and the 
Amended Preliminary Determination of Sales at LTFV: Stainless Steel 
Sheet and Strip in Coils From Korea.3 The effect of this 
error is that suspension of liquidation could be ordered for a certain 
product which is not, in fact, included in the scope of these 
investigations. In explaining this product's exclusion from the scope 
of the investigations each of these notices stated:

    \1\ The scope language in each notice was identical.
    \2\ 64 FR 4070 (January 27, 1999). The scope language in this 
Amended Preliminary Determination was consistent with the scope 
language from the original determinations.
    \3\ 64 FR 3928 (January 26, 1999). The scope language in this 
Amended Preliminary Determination was consistent with the scope 
language from the original determinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Certain stainless steel foil for automotive catalytic converters 
is also excluded from the scope of this investigation. . . . This 
steel contains, by weight, . . . lanthanum of between 0.002 and 0.05 
percent.
(Emphasis added). Pursuant to the Department's regulation at 19 CFR 
351.224(e), we correct this statement in the notices referenced 
above to read as follows:
    Certain stainless steel foil for automotive catalytic converters 
is also excluded from the scope of this investigation. . . . This 
steel contains, by weight, . . . lanthanum of less than 0.002 or 
greater than 0.05 percent.

    In addition to the error listed above, in the Amended Preliminary 
Determination of Sales at Not Less Than Fair Value: Stainless Steel 
Sheet and Strip in Coils from Taiwan, 64 FR 4070, the Department 
inadvertently referred to the case number as ``A-583-830.'' The proper 
case number is ``A-583-831.''
    This correction is issued in accordance with section 351.224 of the 
Department's regulations (19 CFR 351.224, April 1, 1998).

    Dated: February 8, 1999.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
