Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review of Pressure Sensitive Plastic Tape from Italy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 12, 1999, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of its administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on pressure sensitive plastic tape (PSPT) from
Italy. This review covers one manufacturer/exporter, Autoadesivi Magri
s.r.l. The period of review (POR) is October 1, 1997 through September
30, 1998. We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the
preliminary results of review but received no comments. Therefore,
these final results of review have not changed from those presented in
the preliminary results of review, in which we applied total adverse
facts available.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Applicable Statute
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), are references to the provisions effective
January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to the Act
by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). In addition, unless
otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department of Commerce's
regulations refer to the regulations codified at 19 CFR part 351
(1998).
Scope of the Review
Imports covered by the review are shipments of PSPT measuring 1\3/
8\ inches in width and not exceeding 4 millimeters (mils) in thickness.
During the POR, the above described PSPT was classified under
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) subheadings 3919.90.20 and 3919.90.50.
The HTS subheadings are provided for convenience and for U.S. Customs
Service (Customs) purposes. The written description remains dispositive
as to the scope of the product coverage.
Background
On July 12, 1999, we published in the Federal Register (64 FR
37504) the preliminary results of the review of this order. We gave
interested parties an opportunity to comment on our preliminary
results. We received no comments. In the preliminary results, we
determined the weighted-average dumping margin for the period October
1, 1997 through September 30, 1998, to be 12.66 percent, which is the
highest rate determined in any prior segment of the proceeding.
This rate was calculated for the 1977-1980 administrative review of
this order. The Department has now completed the administrative review
in accordance with section 751 of the Act.
Final Results of Review
Because we received no comments from interested parties, we have
determined that no changes to the preliminary results are warranted for
purposes of these final results. The weighted-average dumping margin
for the period October 1, 1997 through April 30, 1998 is as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Manufacturer/exporter margin
percentage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Autoadesivi Magri s.r.l.................................... 12.66
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department will issue appraisement instructions directly to the
Customs Service. Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will
be effective upon publication of these final results for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date as provided by section
751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cash-deposit rate for the reviewed
company will be the rate listed above; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above, the cash-deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash-deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4)
if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this
review or in any previous reviews or in the original LTFV
investigation, the cash deposit rate will be 12.66 percent, the ``new
shipper'' rate established in the final results of the first
antidumping duty administrative review conducted by the Department (See
Final Results 1997-80, 48 FR at 35688). \1\ The deposit requirements
shall remain in effect until publication of the final results of the
next administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ This rate will constitute the ``all others'' rate for this
review. In proceedings governed by antidumping findings, unless we
are able to ascertain the `'all others'' rate from the Treasury LTFV
investigation, the Department has determined that it is appropriate
to adopt the ``new shipper'' rate established in the first final
results of administrative review published by the Department (or
that rate as amended for correction of clerical errors as a result
of litigation) as the ``all others'' rate for the purposes of
establishing cash deposits in all current and future administrative
reviews, (See, e.g., Final results of antidumping Duty
Administrative Review of Certain Internal-Combustion Industrial
Forklift Trucks From Japan, 59 FR 1374, 1384, (January 10, 1994)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 Department'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 order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification of
return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this determination in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the act.
Dated: November 3, 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary, Import Administration.
