SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Amendment to the Final Determination

    In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended, (``the Act''), on May 22, 2006, the Department of 
Commerce (``the Department'') published its final determination of 
sales at less than fair value (``LTFV''). See Final Determination of 
Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Partial Affirmative 
Determination of Critical Circumstances: Diamond Sawblades and Parts 
Thereof from the People's Republic of China, 71 FR 29303
    (May 22, 2006) (``Final Determination''). See Final Determination 
and corresponding Issues and Decision Memorandum, dated May 15, 2006.
    Between May 23, 2006, and May 26, 2006, the following parties filed 
timely allegations that the Department made various clerical errors in 
the Final Determination. On May 23, 2006, the Diamond Sawblade 
Manufacturers' Coalition (``Petitioner'') filed a timely request 
pursuant to section 351.224(c)(2) of the Department's regulations, 
requesting that the Department correct alleged ministerial errors in 
the Final Determination in the calculation of a margin for Bosun Tools 
Group Co., Ltd. (``Bosun'') and Beijing Gang Yan Diamond Product 
Company (``BGY'') (included with Yichang HXF Circular Saw Industrial 
Co., Ltd (``HXF'') as a single entity, Advanced Technology & Materials 
Co., Ltd. (``AT&M'') (see Final Determination)). Also on May 23, 2006, 
AT&M filed comments on the Department's draft customs instructions. On 
May 26, 2006, Hebei Jikai Industrial Group Co. Ltd. (``Hebei Jikai'') 
filed a request that the Department correct certain clerical errors 
with respect to Hebei Jikai. On May 31, 2006, Petitioner filed comments 
rebutting Hebei Jikai's allegations.
    A ministerial error is defined 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 Department considers 
ministerial. See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
    After analyzing all interested party comments and rebuttals, we 
have determined, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), that we made 
ministerial errors in our calculations performed for the final 
determination with respect to Bosun and AT&M. However, the Department 
finds that the errors alleged by Hebei Jikai were not ministerial 
errors within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.224(f). For a detailed 
discussion of these ministerial errors, as well as the Department=s 
analysis, see Memorandum to James C. Doyle from Anya Naschak: 
Antidumping Duty Investigation of Diamond Sawblades from the People's 
Republic of China: Analysis of Ministerial Error Allegations, dated 
June 15, 2006 (``Ministerial Error I&D Memo''). Additionally, in the 
Final Determination, we determined that several companies qualified for 
a separate rate. The margin we calculated in the Final Determination 
for these companies, which is the weighted average of the mandatory 
respondents' rates, was 20.72 percent. Because the rates of the 
mandatory respondents have changed since the Final Determination, we 
have recalculated the rate for the separate rate applicants. The new 
rate is 21.43 percent. See Ministerial Error I&D Memo at Attachment IV.
    In addition, AT&M requested that the Department make certain 
changes to the Department's draft instructions to U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (``CBP'').

[[Page 35865]]

AT&M requested that the Department modify the language used in the 
Department's customs instructions to read ``on exports where Cliff 
(Tianjin) International, Ltd. acted as the exporter and facilitator for 
the AT&M entity, imports are eligible to claim the antidumping duty 
rate'' for AT&M. See AT&M's letter to the Department dated May 23, 
2006. Though this suggestion does not constitute a ``ministerial'' 
error within the meaning of section 351.224(f) of the Department's 
regulations, the Department will make the change as requested by AT&M 
to ensure that the Department's intent is clear to CBP. Thus, the 
Department will include language in the customs module indicating that 
exports where Cliff (Tianjin) International, Ltd. acted as an exporter 
and facilitator to AT&M, the importer is eligible to claim AT&M's 
antidumping duty rate.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Department will also include such language in its cash 
deposit instructions to CBP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending 
the final determination of sales at LTFV in the antidumping duty 
investigation of diamond sawblades from the People's Republic of China 
(``PRC''). The revised weighted-average dumping margins are included in 
the ``Antidumping Duty Order'' section, below. For the revisions to the 
calculations for all companies, see Ministerial Error I&D Memo.
    Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(e), we are amending 
the final determination of sales at LTFV in the antidumping duty 
investigation of diamond sawblades from the PRC. The revised dumping 
margins are as follows:
