SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 25, 1992, the Department published in the Federal Register
the final results of its administrative review of the antidumping
finding on electric golf carts from Poland, (57 FR 10334). As a result
of clerical errors, we amended the final results of review on April 29,
1992 (57 FR 18129). The weighted-average margin in the amended final
results was 2.91 percent. The review covered two manufacturers/
exporters, Melex USA, Inc. and Pezetel, Ltd. (collectively referred to
as Melex), and the period July 1, 1976 through June 10, 1980.
On August 25, 1995, the CIT remanded to the Department the final
results of its administrative review of the antidumping finding on
electric golf carts from Poland, Melex USA, et al. v. United States,
Court No. 92-04-00298, Slip Op 96-58.
In its remand instructions, the CIT directed the Department to: (1)
Apply the methodologies of the Antidumping Act of 1921 (the 1921 Act)
to unliquidated entries made prior to the effective dates of the Trade
Agreements Act of 1979 and the Trade and Tariff Act of 1984; (2)
reevaluate the applicability of credit expense as a component of the
constructed value calculation in light of the CIT's decision to apply
the 1921 Act; and (3) use Melex's four-wheel cost differential data to
determine the cost of four-wheel golf cars. Slip Op. at 20.
On February 12, 1996, the Department filed its results of
redetermination pursuant to the CIT's remand. As a result of the remand
instructions from the CIT, the antidumping margin for Melex on
redetermination changed to 0.33 percent.
On March 22, 1996, the CIT affirmed the Department's results of the
remand redetermination and dismissed the case. Melex USA, et al. v.
United States, Court No. 92-04-00298, Slip Op 96-58.
Pursuant to the CIT's order of March 22, 1996, the Department is
hereby amending the final results of administrative review. The
Department shall determine, and the Customs Service shall assess,
antidumping duties on all entries made during the period of review. The
Department will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to collect the
antidumping duty applicable. Individual differences between U.S. price
and foreign market value may vary from the percentage stated above. The
Department will issue appraisement instructions directly to the U.S.
Customs Service.
This notice is in accordance with section 516A of the Tariff Act of
1930 as amended.
Dated: June 4, 1996.
Paul L. Joffe,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
