RE: FINAL RESULTS OF ANTIDUMPING DUTY ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEWS
AND PARTIAL REVOCATION OF FINDING OF FISHNETTING FROM
JAPAN (A-588-029)


1. The Department of Commerce has completed its administrative
reviews of the antidumping finding and partial revocation on
fishnetting of man-made fibers from Japan, and published the results
in the Federal Register on September 30, 1991. The partial
revocation applies to all unliquidated entries of the subject
merchandise produced by Osada Fishing Net Co., Ltd. (Osada), and
exported by Nichimen Corporation (Nichimen) on or after June 1, 1987.

2. The product covered by these reviews is fishnetting of man-made
fibers from Japan ("fishnetting"). Fishnetting is currently
classifiable under subheadings 5608.11.00 and 5608.90.10 of the
Harmonized Tariff System (HTS). Although the HTS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written
description of the scope of these proceedings is dispositive.

On December 29, 1986, the United States International Trade
Commission (ITC) published its determination that an industry in the
United States would not be materially injured by reason of imports of
salmon-gill fishnetting of man-made fibers from Japan covered by the
antidumping finding, if that portion of the finding concerning
salmon-gill fishnetting were to be revoked (51 FR 46947). In its
final results of a previous review of this finding (53 FR 10264,
March 30, 1988), the Department determined that the effective date of
the revocation of the portion of the finding applicable to
salmon-gill fishnetting was December 29, 1986, the date that the
ITC's decision was published in the Federal Register.
Therefore, salmon-gill fishnetting sold and entered on or after
December 29, 1986, is excluded from the 1986-87 administrative
review. Salmon-gill fishnetting is defined as fishnetting of
continuous polyamide fibers (including nylon), consisting of
monofilament yarns measuring not more than 0.806 millimeter in
maximum cross-sectional dimension or multifilament yarns or cordage
measuring not more than 210 denier, or a combination of the foregoing
yarns or cordage, of double- or triple-knot construction, dyed or
otherwise colored (except white), having a stretch mesh size of not
less than 4 1/8 inches and not more than 8 1/2 inches.

3. Accordingly, the following cash deposits will be required for all
shipments of fishnetting from Japan that are entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 30, 1991. The
cash deposit rate for Mitsui which was reviewed for a subsequent
period will be 18.30 percent, the rate established in that period
(See Final Results of the 1988/1989 Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review: Fishnetting of Man-Made Fibers from Japan (55 FR 30948, July
30, 1990)). The cash deposit rate for any shipments of this
merchandise manufactured or exported by manufacturers/exporters not
covered in these reviews nor in any subsequent reviews, but covered
in a prior review, will continue to be at the rate published in the
final results of the last administrative review for such firms. The
cash deposit rate for all other exporters/producers will be 1.40
percent, the highest of the most recently calculated non-BIA rates
for any firm, based on 1986/1987 review period. This all other rate
supercedes the zero rate established for the 1988/1989 period since
the zero rate was based on a 1985/1986 calculated rate. Lastly, upon
receipt of our appraisement instructions, you will be authorized to
terminate suspension of liquidation for all entries of fishnetting of
man-made fibers exported by Nichimen and produced by Osada.
