Fresh Atlantic Salmon from Chile: Amended Final Results of 2000-
2001 Administrative Review

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 24, 2003.
SUMMARY: On February 11, 2003, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published in the Federal Register the Final Results of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on fresh Atlantic 
salmon from Chile for the period July 1, 2000, through June 30, 2001. 
See Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
Final Determination to Revoke the Order in Part, and Partial Rescission 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Fresh Atlantic Salmon From 
Chile, 68 FR 6878 (February 11, 2003) (Final Results). Based on the 
correction of a ministerial error, we have made a change to the margin 
calculation for respondents Cultivadora de Salmones Linao Ltda. and 
Salmones Tecmar S.A (collectively, Linao and Tecmar). However, the 
margin for Linao and Tecmar continues to be de minimis.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Daniel O'Brien or Constance Handley, 
at (202) 482-1376 or (202) 482-0631, respectively, AD/CVD Enforcement 
Office V, Group II, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street & Constitution 
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 11, 2003, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the Final Results of this administrative review.\1\ In the 
Final Results, Linao and Tecmar received a de minimis margin of 0.29 
percent. On February 11, 2003, L.R. Enterprises made a timely 
allegation that the Department had made an error in the calculation of 
the final margin for Linao and Tecmar. Specifically, L.R. Enterprises 
alleged that the Department incorrectly calculated the constructed 
export price (CEP) profit ratio in the margin program for the second 
sub-period.\2\ See Memorandum from Daniel O'Brien, Case Analyst, to 
Holly Kuga, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary, Group 2 concerning the 
ministerial error allegation, dated March 12, 2003 (Ministerial Error 
Memo).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On March 7, 2003, the Department published in the Federal 
Register an Amended Final Results of 2000-2001 Administrative 
Review. In this amended final, the effective date of revocation was 
established for the companies which were granted revocation from the 
order.
    \2\ We note that Linao and Tecmar were affiliated for only part 
of the period of review (POR). For the period November 15, 2000 
through June 30, 2001 we collapsed Linao and Tecmar for purposes of 
our analysis. The final cash deposit rate was based on a weighted-
average of the margins calculated for the two separate companies 
prior to November 15, 2000 (sub-period 1) and the margin calculated 
for the combined entity after that date (sub-period 2). L.R. 
Enterprises' allegation relates to the margin program for the 
combined entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amended Final Results

    After analyzing the ministerial error comment submitted by L.R. 
Enterprises, we have determined, in accordance with section 771(h) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.224, that 
a ministerial error in the margin calculation for Linao and Tecmar was 
made.
    After correcting the ministerial error the revised weighted-average 
margin is 0.31 percent, which is de minimis. The importer specific 
assessment rates are unchanged.

Assessment Rates

    Absent an injunction from the U.S. Court of International Trade, 
the Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly 
to Customs within fifteen days of publication of these amended final 
results of review.
    We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: March 17, 2003.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
