through June 30, 2000, administrative review of this order. The revised 
weighted-average margin for Ferrara is 1.25 percent ad valorem.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 4, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Young or Frank Thomson, AD/CVD 
Enforcement, Office VI, Group II, Import Administration, International

Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20230; telephone (202) 482-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The 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. In addition, unless 
otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department of Commerce's 
(``Department's'') regulations are to 19 CFR Part 351 (2000).

Amendment to Final Results

    On January 3, 2002, the Department published the final results of 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain pasta 
from Italy. See Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review, Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review and Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order in Part: 
Certain Pasta From Italy, 67 FR 300 (January 3, 2002) (``Final 
Results''). The review covers nine manufacturers/exporters. The period 
of review (``POR'') is July 1, 1999, through June 30, 2000.
    On January 4, 2002, we received a timely clerical error submission 
from Ferrara. In its submission, Ferrara stated that the Department 
incorrectly applied a billing adjustment ratio to all U.S. sales. 
Ferrara maintained that the Department should have applied the billing 
adjustment ratio only to U.S. sales of the subject merchandise that 
contained billing adjustments.
    We agree with Ferrara. The Department did err in applying the 
billing adjustment ratio to all U.S. sales of subject merchandise. 
However, because the U.S. sales that contained billing adjustments were 
not used in the calculation of the margin, the Department will set the 
billing adjustment ratio equal to zero. This issue is discussed more 
fully in the January 28, 2002 Calculation Memorandum to the File from 
the Team through James Terpstra (``Calculation Memorandum'').
    In light of these findings, we are amending the weighted-average 
margin for Ferrara from 2.03 percent to 1.25 percent ad valorem.

Amended Final Results

    We are amending the final results of the administrative review on 
certain pasta from Italy covering the period July 1, 1999, through June 
30, 2000, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the Act. As a result of this 
redetermination, the recalculated final weighted-average margin for 
Ferrara is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                Margin
                    Manufacturer/producer                     percentage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ferrara.....................................................        1.25
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The cash deposit rate for Ferrara of 1.25 percent ad valorem is 
effective on all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication of this notice, and will remain in effect until publication 
of the final results of the next administrative review.
    Accordingly, the Department will determine, and the Customs Service 
will assess, antidumping duties on all entries of subject merchandise 
from Ferrara during the period July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000, in 
accordance with this amended final results.
    This amended final results and notice are in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 
351.221.

    Dated: January 28, 2002.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
