SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On December 22, 1986, the Department of Commerce ("the Department") pubished in the Federal Register (51 FR 45789) the final results of its administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain iron-metal castings from India. The review covered the period January 1, 1984 through December 31, 1984. The results of that review were challenged in the Court of International Trade ("CIT") by Indian exporters, RSI (India), Pvt. Ltd., et al. Pursuant to an injunction issued on January 20, 1987, to continue suspension of liquidation of entries of the subject merchandise pending final judgment of the CIT. On April 27, 1988, the CIT in RSI India Pvt., Ltd., et al v. United States, Slip Op. 88-49, remanded the final results of review to the Department to recalculate the net IPRS benefit received by RSI. On July 8, 1988, we submitted the final results of the remand to the CIT. The remand results were affirmed in Slip Op. 88-110 (August 22, 1988). Remand Results Pursuant to the remand in RSI (India), the Department was required to recalculate the net IPRS benefit received by RSI. The CIT held that the Department's methodology did not reflect factual information contained in the administrative record and that the Department should recalculate RSI's net benefit by allocating benefits received under the IPRS over the export value of all castings to all markets. We divided RSI's total IPRS benefit received for all castings by its total value of all castings exported to all markets to recalculate RSI's net benefit from this program. We then weight-averaged this rate and the rates from the IPRS rebate previously determined for the other companies under review by each company's share of exports of the subject merchandise to the United States. The weighted-average rate for the IPRS is 6.54 percent ad valorem and the new weighted-average country-wide rate for all programs for both assessment and cash deposit purposes is 7.31 percent ad valorem. As a result of the remand decision, we are amending the final results of the administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain iron- metal castings from India for the period January 1, 1984 through December 31, 1984 to incorporate the reasoning and calculations set forth above. Accordingly, we determined that the net subsidy during the period of review is 7.31 percent ad valorem. The Department will instruct the Customs Service to assess countervailing duties of 7.31 percent of the f.o.b. invoice price on all shipments of the subject merchandise exported on or after January 1, 1984 and on or before December 31, 1984. The Department will also instruct the Customs Service to collect a cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties, as provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act, of 7.31 percent of the f.o.b. invoice price on all shipments of this merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice.
