Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of final results of antidumping duty administrative
review.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On June 18, 1998, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published in the Federal Register the preliminary results of
administrative review of the antidumping finding on pressure sensitive
plastic tape (PSPT) for Italy. The review covers one manufacturer/
exporter of the subject merchandise shipped to the United States during
the period October 1, 1996, through September 30, 1997. We did not
receive any comments on the preliminary results. Therefore, the dumping
margins for the reviewed companies are unchanged from the preliminary
results.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 23, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Department published the prelimary results of this review on
June 18, 1998 (63 FR 33350). The Department has now completed this
administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act).
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 Act by the Uruguay Round Agreements
Act (URAA). In addition, unless otherwise indicated, all citation to
the Department of Commerce's (the Department's) regulations refer to
the regulations codified at 19 CFR Part 351 (62 FR 27296, May 19,
1997).
Scope of the Review
Imports covered by the review are shipments of PSPT measuring over
1\3/8\ inches in width and not exceeding 4 mils in thickness. During
the period of review (POR), the above described PSPT was classified
under HTS subheading 3919.90.20 and 3919.90.50. The HTS subheading are
provided for convenience and for U.S. Customs purposes. The written
description remains dispositive as to the scope of the product
coverage.
Final Results of Review
The Department received no comments on its preliminary result.
Therefore, the margins from the preliminary results have not changed
for the final result of review.

The Department shall determine, and the U.S. Customs Service shall
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department
shall issue appraisement instructions for each exporter 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 final results of this administrative review, as provided for by
section 751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the
reviewed firm will be that firm's rate established in the final results
of this administrative review; (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 or 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 not
previously reviewed will be 12.66 percent, the ``new shipper'' rate
established in the first notice of final results of administrative
review published by the Department (48 FR 35686, August 5, 1983).
These deposits requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until
[[Page 50883]]
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 351.402(f) 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. Timely notification of return/destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
This administrative review and notice are in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: September 15, 1998.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
