Anhydrous Sodium Metasilicate From France: Amended Final Results 
of Antidumping Administrative Review

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Amended final results of antidumping administrative review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 19, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dunyako Ahmadu or Richard Rimlinger, 
Office of Antidumping/Countervailing Duty Enforcement 3, Import 
Administration, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20230; telephone (202) 482-0198 or (202) 482-4477, respectively.
SUMMARY: On October 22, 2001, the Department of Commerce published the 
final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on anhydrous sodium metasilicate from France for the period 
January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2000. However, we neglected to 
identify Rhodia HCPII (formerly known as Rhone Poulenc, S.A.), which is 
now the entity manufacturing subject merchandise in France. The purpose 
of these amended final results is to correct this ministerial error.

Amendment to the Final Results

    On October 22, 2001, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the final results of the administrative review of this order 
in the Federal Register (66 FR 53387). See Notice of Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review (October 22, 2001). In the final 
results, we determined the weighted-average dumping margin for the 
period January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2000, to be 60.00 percent 
for Rhone-Poulenc, S.A. However, we did not correctly identify Rhodia 
HCPII (Rhodia), formerly Rhone Poulenc, S.A. Rhodia was formed as a 
result of a merger between Rhone Poulenc, S.A., and Hoechst. Rhodia is 
now the entity manufacturing the subject merchandise in France. In our 
preliminary results, Rhodia was correctly identified as the sole 
producer/exporter of subject merchandise covered by the review. See 
Federal Register (66 FR 42199). The purpose of these amended final 
results is to correct this omission.
    Furthermore, the Department will issue appraisement instructions 
for Rhodia directly to the Customs Service. Regarding all shipments of 
the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after October 22, 2001, as provided for by section 
751(a)(1) of the Act of 1930, as amended: (1) The cash deposit rate for 
Rhodia will be 60.00 percent; (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 original 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) for all other producers and/or exporters of 
this merchandise, the cash deposit rate shall be 60.0 percent, the 
``all others'' rate established in the LTFV investigation (45 FR 77498, 
November 24, 1980). These deposit rates shall remain in effect until 
publication of the final

results of the next administrative review.
    We are issuing and publishing this amendment to the final results 
in accordance with section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.

    Dated: November 9, 2001.
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
