Sunshine Act Meeting, 3000 [05-1115]

Download as PDF 3000 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2005 / Notices of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils for the period May 1, 2002, through April 30, 2003. See Final Results. In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(c)(2), on December 14, 2004, Respondent timely filed an allegation that the Department made ministerial errors in the final results. The Department is amending the Final Results to correct these errors, as detailed below. First, Respondent states that the Department expressed its intention to correct certain gross unit prices in the home market sales database based on pre-verification corrections, as stated in the Memorandum to The File from Toni Page and Elfi Blum through Maria MacKay: Analysis for Ugine & ALZ, N.V. Belgium (U&A Belgium) for the Final Results of the Fourth Administrative Review of Stainless Steel Plate in Coils (SSPC) from Belgium, dated December 7, 2004 (Analysis Memorandum). Respondent further states that the Department, in making those changes in the home market (HM) sales program, identifies the sales to be corrected by referring to the observation number of those sales. However, Respondent contends, the observation numbers identified in the Department’s HM sales program are not the observation numbers of the sales the Department intended to correct. Respondent provided a list of the observation numbers Respondent claims are the correct numbers,1 and states that the Department should use these numbers in identifying the appropriate sales. Second, Respondent alleges that the Department, when recalculating the HM credit expense to account for a revision to the HM short-term borrowing rate in the HM sales program, inadvertently subtracted the date of payment from the date of shipment. The appropriate method for determining credit expenses, Respondent argues, is to subtract the date of shipment from the date of payment. Third, Respondent argues, that the Department failed to recalculate inventory carrying cost based on the revised short-term borrowing rate. Petitioners did not file comments in response to Respondent’s ministerial error allegations. The Act, and the Department’s regulations, define a ministerial error as one involving ‘‘addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error resulting from inaccurate copying, 1 Respondent attached the sales verification exhibit 1, showing the invoice number, the skid number, the originally reported gross unit price, the corrected gross unit price, and the weight of the skid. VerDate jul<14>2003 15:11 Jan 18, 2005 Jkt 205001 duplication or the like, and any other similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers ministerial.’’ See section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f). After reviewing Respondent’s allegations, we have determined, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224, that the three allegations constitute ministerial errors. Regarding its first allegation, we agree with Respondent that the Department inadvertently identified the incorrect observation numbers for those sales with a revised gross unit price. See Analysis Memorandum, p. 2–3. Further, as Respondent alleged, when recalculating credit expenses based on the revised interest rate obtained at verification, we erroneously subtracted the pay date from the ship date to arrive at the credit period instead of subtracting ship date from pay date. We also agree with Respondent’s final allegation that we inadvertently failed to recalculate the inventory carrying costs based on the revised interest rate. Therefore, we are amending the Final Results to correct the above-mentioned ministerial errors. All changes to the programming language in the HM sales program can be found in the analysis memorandum for the amended final results. See Memorandum to The File from Toni Page and Elfi Blum through Maria MacKay: Analysis for Ugine & ALZ, N.V. Belgium (U&A Belgium) for the Amended Final Results of the Fourth Administrative Review of Stainless Steel Plate in Coils (SSPC) from Belgium, dated January 13, 2005 (Amended Final Analysis Memo). As a result of corrections of the ministerial errors in the Final Results, the revised weight-averaged dumping margin is as follows: Revised margin (percent) Manufacturer/exporter Ugine & ALZ Belgium .................... 2.71 With respect to Ugine & ALZ, N.V. Belgium (U&A Belgium), the Department will issue appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within 15 days of publication of the amended final results of review. Accordingly, the Department will determine, and CBP will assess, antidumping duties on all entries of subject merchandise from U&A Belgium during the period May 1, 2002, through April 30, 2003, in accordance with these amended final results. The revised cash deposit rate for U&A Belgium shown above is effective on all shipments of the subject PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice, and will remain in effect until publication of the final results of the next administrative review. Consequently, we are issuing and publishing these amended final results and notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 751(h), and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.224(f). Dated: January 12, 2005. Barbara E. Tillman, Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration. [FR Doc.
