and notice of revocation in part of the antidumping duty order on
[[Page 1736]]
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, sheet, and strip from the
Republic of Korea. The review covered three manufacturers/exporters of
the subject merchandise to the United States and the period June 1,
1994 through May 31, 1995. Based on the correction of a ministerial
error made in those final results for one manufacturer/exporter, we are
publishing this amendment to the final results in accordance with 19
CFR 353.28(c).
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 13, 1997.

Applicable Statute and Regulations
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the statute are
references to the provisions effective January 1, 1995, the effective
date of the amendments made to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Tariff Act)
by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). In addition, unless
otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department's regulations are
to the current regulations, as amended by the interim regulations
published in the Federal Register on May 1, 1995 (60 FR 25130).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 14, 1996 (61 FR 58374), the Department published the
final results of review and notice of revocation in part of the
antidumping duty order on PET film from the Republic of Korea (56 FR
25669, June 5, 1991). On November 20, 1996, we received a timely
allegation from STC Corporation (STC) that the Department made a
ministerial error in its final results.
STC contended that in its margin calculations the Department
incorrectly matched U.S. sales to constructed value rather than to
identical sales within the contemporaneous 90/60 day period. We agree
with STC that we made this ministerial error, and have corrected that
ministerial error in these amended results.
Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of our correction of a ministerial error, we have
determined the margin to be:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margin
Company (Percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
STC........................................................ 1.68
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Customs Service shall assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Individual differences between U.S. Price and
Normal Value may vary from the percentages stated above. The Department
will issue appraisement instructions concerning each respondent
directly to the U.S. Customs Service.
Furthermore, the following deposit requirements will be effective
for all shipments of the subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of
these amended final results of administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for
STC will be the rate indicated above, (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or in the original LTFV investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4)
if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this
or any previous review conducted by the Department, the cash deposit
rate will be 4.82 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.
These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until publication
of the final results of the next administrative review.
This notice serves as the final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26 to file a certificate regarding the
reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during these review periods. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 353.34(d). Timely written notification or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of the APO is a sanctionable
violation.
These amended final results of administrative review and notice are
in accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act (19 U.S.C.
1675(a)(1)) and 19 CFR 353.28(c).
Dated: January 7, 1997.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
