Certain Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars From Turkey; Amended 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 6, 2001.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce is publishing amended final results 
of the antidumping duty administrative review on certain steel concrete 
reinforcing bars from Turkey.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Irina Itkin or Elizabeth Eastwood, AD/
CVD Enforcement Group I, Office 2, Import Administration, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-0656 
or (202) 482-3874, respectively.

Applicable Statute and Regulations

    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 (the 
Department's) regulations are to 19 CFR part 351 (2000).

Amendment to Final Results

    In accordance with section 751(a) of the Act, on November 7, 2001, 
the Department published the final results of administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on certain steel concrete reinforcing bars 
(rebar) from Turkey. See Certain Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars from 
Turkey; Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 66 FR 
56274 (Nov. 7, 2001). On November 13, 2001, we received an allegation, 
timely filed pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(c)(2), from a respondent, the 
Ekinciler Group (Ekinciler), that the Department had made a ministerial 
error in its final results. We did not receive comments from Colakoglu 
Metalurji A.S. (Colakoglu), Diler Demir Celik Endustrisi ve Ticaret 
A.S., Yazici Demir Celik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., and Diler Dis Ticaret 
A.S. (collectively ``Diler''), or ICDAS Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim 
Sanayi, A.S. (ICDAS), the other three respondents in this review. After 
analyzing Ekinciler's submission, we have determined, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.224, that a ministerial error was made because we did 
not publish the correct recalculated margin for Ekinciler in the 
Federal Register.
    On November 13, 2001, we also received ministerial error 
allegations from AmeriSteel Corporation, the petitioner in this review. 
After analyzing the petitioner's submission, we have also determined, 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224, that a second ministerial error was 
made in our final margin calculation for Ekinciler. Specifically, we 
find that we failed to properly sum Ekinciler's adjusted financing 
expenses as shown in Attachment 2 of the October 31, 2001, memorandum 
from Elizabeth Eastwood to the file entitled ``Calculations Performed 
for the Ekinciler Group (Ekinciler) for the Final Results in the 1999-
2000 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review on Steel Concrete 
Reinforcing Bars from Turkey.'' Correcting this mistake resulted in a 
revised interest expense ratio for Ekinciler, and thus a revised 
margin.
    For a detailed discussion of the ministerial errors noted above, as 
well as the Department's analysis, see the memorandum to Richard W. 
Moreland from the Team, dated November 29, 2001.
    Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending 
the final results of the 1999-2000 antidumping duty administrative 
review of rebar from Turkey. The revised weight-averaged dumping 
margins are as follows:
