AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 8, 2008.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael J. Heaney or Robert James, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 7, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
4475 and (202) 482-0649, respectively.
SUMMARY: On April 3, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published in the Federal Register the final results of the antidumping
duty changed circumstances review and reinstatement of the antidumping
order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and strip from Korea.
The review covered a single firm, Kolon Industries, Inc. (Kolon) and
the period July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006. See Polyethylene
Terephthalate Film, Sheet, and Strip from the Republic of Korea; Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review and
Reinstatement of the Antidumping Duty Order, 73 FR 18259 (April 3,
2008) (Final Results). We are amending the Final Results to correct a
ministerial error in the calculation of the cash deposit rate for Kolon
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 7, 2008, the Department received
from Kolon a timely allegation of a ministerial error pursuant to 19
CFR 351.224(c)(1). Kolon alleges an error in formatting product-
specific control numbers. Kolon asserts the Department assigned a
revised field of only 6 characters in length for the variable CONNUM2H
in the home market comparison program while assigning a field length of
10 characters for the variable CONNUM2H in the margin program. Kolon
argues that the effect of this error is to truncate some of the
CONNUM2H values used for matching purposes in the final results.
Petitioners did not comment on the alleged ministerial error.

Amended Final Results of Review
A ministerial error as defined in section 751(h) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the act) ``includes errors in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type
of unintentional error which the administering authority considers
ministerial.'' See also 19 CFR 351.224(f). After analyzing Kolon's
allegation, we have determined, in accordance with section 751(h) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that the Department made a ministerial
error in the final results by inadvertently setting the field length
for CONNUM2H in the comparison market program to 6 characters rather
than 10 characters. Therefore, we are amending the final results of
this antidumping duty changed circumstances review of polyethylene
terephthalate film, sheet, and strip from Korea. In these amended final
results we have assigned a character length of 10 for the CONNUM2H
variable used in the comparison market program. As a result of this
correction, the weighted-average percentage margin for Kolon has
changed from 1.53 percent to 1.52 percent. We will issue amended cash
deposit instructions for these amended final results of this
administrative review to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days
after publication of these amended final results. There are no changes
to the rates applicable to any other companies under this antidumping
order. See Final Results.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).
Dated: May 01, 2008.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
