SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 31, 1996, the Department published the preliminary results
of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on pure
magnesium from Canada (61 FR 39947). The Department has now completed
this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (``the Tariff Act'').
Applicable Statute and Regulations
Unless otherwise stated, all citations to the statute and to the
Department's regulations are references to the provisions as they
existed on December 31, 1994.
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 of this review. Pure
magnesium is currently classified under subheading 8104.11.0000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (``HTS''). HTS item numbers are provided for
convenience and for Customs purposes. The written description remains
dispositive.
The review covers one Canadian manufacturer/exporter, Norsk Hydro
Canada Inc. (``NHCI''), and the period February 20, 1992, through July
31, 1993.
Final Results of Review
In its preliminary results of administrative review, the Department
stated that there were no appropriate U.S. sales to analyze which were
associated with the entries covered by this review and hence, there was
no basis for assessing antidumping duties on these entries. The
Department received no comments regarding this finding. Therefore, as
stated in the preliminary results, we will liquidate these entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
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for all shipments of the subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn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 the
final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for NHCI will be
0.00 percent, the rate established in the third administrative review
of this order (61 FR 41772, August 12, 1996); (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies, 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 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) if neither the
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any previous
review, the cash deposit rate will 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).
These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until publication
of the final results of the next administrative review.
This notice serves as a 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 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 the only 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). Failure to comply is a
violation of the APO.
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 CFR
353.22.
Dated: September 16, 1996.
Robert S. La Russa,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
