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.

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the following deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section 751(a)(1) of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).

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.
