SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On February 10, 2016, the Department disclosed to interested

allegation from La Molisana, S.p.A. (La Molisana) regarding the 
Department's final margin calculation.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Memorandum to Eric Greynolds, Program Manager, AD/CVD 
Operations, Office III from Joy Zhang, Case Analyst, ``2013-2014 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Pasta from Italy--
Final Results, Sales Analysis Memorandum for La Molisana,'' dated 
February 10, 2016 (Final Results Calculations).
    \3\ See Letter from La Molisana, ``Certain Pasta From Italy: A-
475-818; Request for Correction of Clerical Error Pursuant to 17 CFR 
Section 351.224(f),'' dated February 16, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Period of Review

    The POR covered by this review is July 1, 2013, through June 30, 
2014.

Scope of the Order

    Imports covered by the order are shipments of certain non-egg dry 
pasta. The merchandise subject to review is currently classifiable 
under items 1901.90.90.95 and 1902.19.20 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings 
are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
description of the merchandise subject to the order is dispositive.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For a full description of the scope of the order, see the 
``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Partial Rescission: 
Certain Pasta from Italy; 2013-2014'' from Christian Marsh, Deputy 
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, to Paul Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 
Compliance, dated February 9, 2016 (Issues and Decision Memorandum) 
and incorporated herein by reference.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ministerial Errors

    Section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), 
and 19 CFR 351.224(f) defines a ministerial error as an error ``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 Department{time}  
considers ministerial.'' We analyzed La Molisana's ministerial error 
comments and determined, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that there was a ministerial error in our margin 
calculation for La Molisana for the Final Results. For a complete 
discussion of the alleged error, see the Department's Ministerial Error 
Memorandum.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See ``Amended Final Results of the 2013-2014 Administrative 
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Pasta from Italy: 
Allegation of Ministerial Error,'' dated concurrently with this 
notice (``Ministerial Error Memorandum'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), 
we are amending the Final Results. Specifically, we are amending the 
weighted-average dumping margin for La Molisana as well as for the 
companies that were not selected for individual examination, who were 
assigned the rate determined for La Molisana.\6\ The revised weighted-
average dumping margins for the affected companies are detailed below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Final Results, 80 FR at 61362.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amended Final Results

    As a result of correcting for the ministerial error, we determined 
the following amended weighted-average dumping margins \7\ for the 
period July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The margin for the non-examined companies was based on the 
calculated weighted-average margin of La Molisana (the sole 
mandatory respondent receiving an above de minimis margin in these 
final results).
