Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit rates will be
effective upon publication of the final
results of this administrative review for
all shipments of PTFE from Italy
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit
rate listed above for Solvay will be the
rate established in the final results of
this review, except if a rate is less than
0.5 percent, and therefore de minimis,
the cash deposit rate will be zero; (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 review, a prior
review, or the less–than-fair–value
(LTFV) 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
conducted by the Department, the cash
deposit rate will be 46.46 percent, the
‘‘all others’’ rate established in the LTFV
investigation. See Final Determination
of Sales at Less Than Fair Value:
Granular Polytetrafluoroethylene Resin
from Italy, 53 FR 26096 (July 11, 1988).
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

clarification will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the
POR produced by the company
included in these preliminary results for
which the reviewed company did not
know their merchandise was destined
for the United States. In such instances,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all–others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company or companies involved in the
transaction.

Scientific Instruments
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entities 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 determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

ACTION: Solicitation of public comments
concerning a review of the existing
exemption for aircraft registered in the
Dominican Republic from certain
internal revenue taxes on the purchase
of supplies in the United States for such
aircraft in connection with their
international commercial operations.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Department of Commerce is
conducting a review to determine,
pursuant to Section 4221 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended (26 U.S.C.
4221), whether the Government of the
Dominican Republic has discontinued
allowing substantially reciprocal tax
exemptions to aircraft of U.S. registry in
connection with international
commercial operations similar to those
exemptions currently granted to aircraft
of Dominican Republic registry by the
United States under the aforementioned
statute.
The above-cited statute provides
exemptions for aircraft of foreign
registry from payment of certain internal
revenue taxes on the purchase of
supplies in the United States for such
aircraft in connection with their
international commercial operations.
These exemptions apply upon a finding
by the Secretary of Commerce, or his
designee, and communicated to the
Department of the Treasury, that such
country allows, or will allow,
‘‘substantially reciprocal privileges’’ to
aircraft of U.S. registry with respect to
purchases of such supplies in that
country. If a foreign country
discontinues the allowance of such
substantially reciprocal exemption, the
exemption allowed by the United States
will not apply after the Secretary of the
Treasury is notified by the Secretary of
Commerce, or his designee, of the
discontinuance.
Interested parties are invited to
submit their views, comments and
supporting documentation in writing
concerning this matter to Mr. Mark
Brady, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Services, Room 1128, U.S. Department
of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230.

Preliminary Determination of Critical
Circumstances, in Part, 73 FR 49408
(August 21, 2008) (Preliminary
Determination). We are amending our
Preliminary Determination to correct
certain ministerial errors with respect to
the antidumping duty margin
calculation for the Fangda Group.1 The
corrections to the Fangda Group’s
margin also affect the margin applied to
companies receiving a separate rate.

telephone: (202) 482–4162 or (202) 482–
4406, respectively.
On August
21, 2008, the Department published in
the Federal Register the preliminary
determination that graphite electrodes
from the PRC are being, or are likely to
be, sold in the United States at LTFV,
as provided in section 733 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’).
See Preliminary Determination.
On August 25, 2008, the Fangda
Group, as well as SGL Carbon LLC and
Superior Graphite Co. (collectively
‘‘petitioners’’) filed timely allegations of
ministerial errors in the Department’s
preliminary calculation of the Fangda
Group’s dumping margin. On August
26, 2008, petitioners submitted a
ministerial error allegation with respect
to Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon
Co., Ltd. (Fushun Jinly). On August 28,
2008, per the Department’s request,
petitioners submitted information
regarding the affect the alleged errors
have on the dumping margin calculated
for the Fangda Group.
After reviewing the allegations, we
have determined that the Preliminary
Determination included significant
ministerial errors. Therefore, in
accordance with section 351.224(e) of
the Department’s regulations, we have
made changes, as described below, to
the Preliminary Determination.
