SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 1, 2007, the Department of 
Commerce (the Department) published the final results of changed-
circumstances review of the antidumping duty order on gray portland

Change-Circumstances Review: Gray Portland Cement and Clinker from 
Mexico, 72 FR 61863 (November 1, 2007) (Changed-Circumstances Review 
Final Results). The review covers one manufacturer/exporter, Holcim 
Apasco, S.A. de C.V., and Cementos Apasco, S.A. de C.V. (collectively 
Apasco). The changed-circumstances review covers exports of subject 
merchandise to the United States during the period October 1, 2006, 
through December 31, 2006. On November 6, 2007, Apasco filed a request 
for NAFTA panel review of the Changed-Circumstances Review Final 
Results. On December 19, 2007, the Department and Apasco settled the 
changed-circumstances review. On December 31, 2007, the NAFTA 
Secretariat terminated the litigation in accordance with the parties' 
consent.

Assessment of Duties

    Having a final and conclusive resolution of the contested changed-
circumstances review, we are now amending the final results of the 
changed-circumstances review of the antidumping duty order on Mexican 
cement to reflect the terms of the settlement agreement. Consequently, 
we determine that the per-unit amount to be assessed on all entries of 
Mexican cement during the period of the contested changed-circumstances 
review which were produced by Apasco is $3.00 per metric ton. 
Accordingly, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) to assess appropriate antidumping duties on the 
affected entries of the subject merchandise during the contested review 
period. The Department will issue assessment instructions to CBP within 
41 days of publication of this notice.

Cash-Deposit Requirements

    As provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended, and as stipulated in the settlement agreement, the cash-
deposit rate for all shipments of Mexican cement produced or exported 
by Apasco entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after 
the effective date of this notice shall be at the rate of three U.S. 
dollars ($3.00) per metric ton. The deposit requirements shall remain 
in effect until further notice.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: January 7, 2008.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
