SUMMARY: On February 11, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the 
Department) published in the Federal Register the final results of the 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel 
sheet and strip in coils from Mexico covering the period July 1, 2005 
to June 30, 2006. See Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils from 
Mexico; Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 73 FR 
7710 (February 11, 2008) (Final Results). We are amending the Final 
Results to correct a ministerial error in the calculation of the 
assessment rate applicable to entries of the respondent in this 
proceeding, ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. de C.V. and Mexinox USA, Inc. 
(collectively, Mexinox), pursuant to section 751(h) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the Tariff Act) and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 11, 2008, the Department 
received from Mexinox a timely allegation of a ministerial error 
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(c)(1). Mexinox alleges that the Department 
miscalculated the assessment rate in the final results. Mexinox states 
the Department did not include the reported customs value related to 
certain material which entered the United States for consumption but 
was returned to Mexico after further-processing in the United States. 
Mexinox states the Department explained its intention to include the 
customs value of this material in the denominator of the assessment 
rate in its memorandum ``Analysis of Data Submitted by ThyssenKrupp 
Mexinox S.A. de C.V. for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review of Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip in Coils 
from Mexico (A-201-822).'' Mexinox further notes it paid antidumping 
duty cash deposits on this material without a sale having been made to 
an unaffiliated U.S. customer. However, Mexinox contends the Department 
did not, in fact, incorporate the customs value at issue in calculating 
the assessment rate. Petitioners did not comment on the alleged 
ministerial error.

Amended Final Results of Review

    A ministerial error as defined in section 751(h) of the Tariff Act, 
``includes errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic 
function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, 
duplication, or the like, and any other type of unintentional error 
which the administering authority considers ministerial.'' See also 19 
CFR 351.224(f). After analyzing Mexinox's allegation, we have 
determined, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Tariff Act and 19 
CFR 351.224(e), that the Department made a ministerial error in the 
final results by inadvertently excluding the customs value at issue 
from our assessment rate calculation. Therefore, we are amending the 
final results of administrative review of stainless steel sheet and 
strip in coils from Mexico for the period July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006 
to include the customs value at issue. The weighted-average percentage 
margin for Mexinox remains unchanged at 2.31 percent. Therefore, there 
is no need to issue new cash deposit instructions for these amended 
final results of this administrative review. We intend to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection 41 days after publication of these amended final results.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

    Dated: March 10, 2008.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
