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 (``URAA''). In addition,

SCOPE OF REVIEW

    For purposes of this administrative review, the product covered is 
certain stainless steel plate in coils. Stainless steel is an alloy 
steel containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or less of carbon and 10.5 
percent or more of chromium, with or without other elements. The 
subject plate products are flat-rolled products, 254 mm or over in 
width and 4.75 mm or more in thickness, in coils, and annealed or 
otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise descaled. The subject 
plate may also be further processed (e.g., cold-rolled, polished, etc.) 
provided that it maintains the specified dimensions of plate following 
such processing. Excluded from the scope of this petition are the 
following: (1) Plate not in coils, (2) plate that is not annealed or 
otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise descaled, (3) sheet and 
strip, and (4) flat bars. In addition, certain cold-rolled stainless 
steel plate in coils is also excluded from the scope of these orders. 
The excluded cold-rolled stainless steel plate in coils is defined as 
that merchandise which meets the physical characteristics described 
above that has undergone a cold-reduction process that reduced the 
thickness of the steel by 25 percent or more, and has been annealed and 
pickled after this cold reduction process.
    The merchandise subject to this review is currently classifiable in 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) at 
subheadings: 7219110030, 7219110060, 7219120005, 7219120020, 
7219120025, 7219120050, 7219120055, 7219120065, 7219120070, 7219120080, 
7219310010, 7219900010, 7219900020, 7219900025, 7219900060, 7219900080, 
7220110000, 7220201010, 7220201015, 7220201060, 7220201080, 7220206005, 
7220206010, 7220206015, 7220206060, 7220206080, 7220900010, 7220900015, 
7220900060, and 7220900080. Although the HTS subheadings are provided 
for convenience and Customs purposes, the written description of the 
merchandise under investigation is dispositive.

AMENDMENT OF FINAL RESULTS

    On October 15, 2002, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published its final results for the administrative review 
of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from 
Italy for the period May 1, 2000, through April 30, 2001. See Notice of 
Final Results of Antidumping Administrative Review: Stainless Steel 
Plate in Coils from Italy, 67 FR 63618 (October 15, 2002) (``Final 
Results'').
    Interested parties did not file any ministerial error comments on 
these Final Results. However, the Department discovered that it 
unintentionally stated in the Final Results that the ``all others'' 
rate was 48.80 percent, rather than the correct all others rate of 
39.69 percent as determined in the original less-than-fair value 
(``LTFV'') investigation. See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at 
Less Than Fair Value: Stainless Steel Plate in Coils from Italy, 64 FR 
15458 (March 31, 1999) (``Final Determination LTFV''). Thus, the 
correct all others rate is the ``all others'' rate established in the 
Final Determination LTFV.
    The Department's regulations define a ministerial error as an 
``error in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, 
clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the 
like, and any other similar type of unintentional error which the 
Secretary considers ministerial'' (19 CFR 351.224(f)). Therefore, the 
Department is now correcting this ministerial error. The correct ``all 
others'' rate is 39.69 percent, in accordance with the Final 
Determination LTFV.
    Therefore, we are amending the final results of the antidumping 
duty administrative review of stainless steel plate in coils from Italy 
to reflect the correction of this ministerial error.
    No other changes have been made to the cash deposit requirements as 
provided in the Final Results.
    We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: December 5, 2002.
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
