AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of final results of antidumping duty administrative
review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On May 5, 1997, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of antidumping duty administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from Canada. The
review covers one manufacturer/exporter, Norsk Hydro Canada Inc.
(NHCI), of the subject merchandise to the United States for the period
August 1, 1995 through July 31, 1996.
We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the
preliminary results of review but received no comments. Therefore,
these final results of review are the same as those presented in our
preliminary results. The review indicates the existence of no dumping
margins for NHCI during this period.
EFFECTIVE DATE: August 14, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Applicable Statute
Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Tariff Act), are references to the provisions
effective January 1, 1995, the effective date of the amendments made to
the Tariff Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.
Background
On August 31, 1992, the Department published in the Federal
Register (57 FR 39399) the antidumping duty order on pure magnesium
from Canada. On May 5, 1997, the Department published in the Federal
Register the preliminary results of antidumping duty administrative
review of this antidumping duty order (62 FR 24417). The Department has
now completed the administrative review in accordance with section 751
of the Tariff Act.
Scope of the Review
The product covered by this review is pure magnesium. Pure
unwrought magnesium contains at least 99.8 percent magnesium by weight
and is sold in various slab and ingot forms and sizes. Granular and
secondary magnesium are excluded from the scope currently classifiable
under subheading 8104.11.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS).
The HTS item number is provided for convenience and for customs
purposes. The written description remains dispositive.
The review covers one Canadian manufacturer/exporter, NHCI, and the
period August 1, 1995 through July 31, 1996.
Final Results of Review
We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the
preliminary results of review but received no comments. Therefore,
these final results of review are the same as those presented in our
preliminary results. We have determined that a margin of zero percent
exists for NHCI for the period August 1, 1995 through July 31, 1996.
The Department will issue appraisement instructions directly to the
Customs Service upon completion of this review.
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
final results, as provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act:
[[Page 43514]]
(1) The cash deposit rate for NHCI will be zero percent; (2) for
manufacturers or exporters other than NHCI that were covered in the
original less-than-fair-value investigation or a previous review, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the most recent rate published in
the final determination or final results for which the manufacturer or
exporter received a company-specific rate; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-
fair-value 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) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 21 percent, the
``all others'' rate established in Pure Magnesium From Canada;
Amendment of Final Determination of Sales At Less Than Fair Value and
Order in Accordance With Decision on Remand, 58 FR 62643, November 29,
1993.
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 C.F.R. 353.26 (1997) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. 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 C.F.R. 353.34(d) (1997). Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion
to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is
subject to sanction.
This 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
C.F.R. 353.22 (1997).
Dated: August 5, 1997.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
