AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of final results of antidumping duty administrative
review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On February 8, 1996, the Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary results of administrative review
of the antidumping duty order on industrial phosphoric acid from Israel
(61 FR 4766). The review covers one exporter, Haifa Chemicals, Ltd.
(Haifa), and the period August 1, 1994 through July 31, 1995.
We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the
preliminary results of review. Because the Department received no
comments, these final results of review remain unchanged from the
preliminary results of review.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 6, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy S. Wei or Zev Primor, Office of
Antidumping Compliance, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230; telephone (202) 482-

The 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 Act), by the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA). In addition, unless otherwise
indicated, all citations to the Departments regulations are to the
current regulations, as amended by the interim regulations published in
the Federal Register on May 11, 1995 (60 FR 25130).
Background
On August 25, 1995, FMC Corporation and Monsanto Company, two
domestic producers of industrial phosphoric acid, requested an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on industrial
phosphoric acid from Israel. On September 15, 1995, the Department
published the initiation of its administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on industrial phosphoric acid from Israel,
covering one exporter, Haifa, and the period August 1, 1994 through
July 31, 1995 (60 FR 47930). On
February 8, 1996, the Department published the preliminary results
of review. In the preliminary results of review, the Department
preliminarily determined that there were no shipments of the subject
merchandise during the period of review and assigned Haifa the rate
applicable to it from its most recent administrative review. The
Department has now completed this administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Act.
Scope of the Review
Imports covered by the review are shipments of industrial
phosphoric acid, classifiable under item number
[[Page 20231]]
2809.20.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS). HTS item numbers
are provided for convenience and for Customs purposes. The written
description remains dispositive.
Final Results of Review
We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the
preliminary results. Because the Department received no comments, we
have not changed the rate from the preliminary results. Accordingly,
the following deposit requirement will be effective for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the
Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Haifa will be 6.82 percent; (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 any review or the original less-than-fair-value (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; (4) for all other producers and/or exporters of this
merchandise, the cash deposit rate shall be 1.77 percent, the all
others rate from the LTFV investigation. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until publication of the final
results of the next administrative review.
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 353.26(b) 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 administrative review and notice are in accordance with
section 751(a)(1) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675 (a)(1)) and 19 CFR 353.22.
Dated: April 26, 1996.
Susan G. Esserman,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
