(CRBS) FROM FRANCE (A-427-201 AND A-427-203, RESPECTIVELY),
COVERING THE PERIOD 5/01/96 THROUGH 4/30/97, HAVE BEEN
TERMINATED IN PART. THIS NOTICE OF PARTIAL TERMINATION WAS

2. ACCORDINGLY, YOU ARE TO ASSESS ANTIDUMPING DUTIES ON BBS AND
CRBS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED BY SNFA FRANCE, EXPORTED BY

AEROSPACE CORPORATION AND ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN FROM
WAREHOUSE, FOR CONSUMPTION DURING THE PERIOD 05/01/96
THROUGH 04/30/97 AT THE CASH DEPOSIT RATE REQUIRED AT THE
TIME OF ENTRY SUMMARY.

3. THESE INSTRUCTIONS CONSTITUTE THE IMMEDIATE LIFTING OF
SUSPENSION OF LIQUIDATION OF ENTRY SUMMARIES FOR THE
MERCHANDISE AND PERIOD LISTED ABOVE. YOU SHALL CONTINUE TO
COLLECT CASH DEPOSITS OF ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES FOR
THE MERCHANDISE AT THE CURRENT RATES.

4. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY THE CUSTOMS SERVICE
ON ENTRIES OF THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930. SECTION 778
REQUIRES THAT CUSTOMS PAY INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENTS AND
ASSESS INTEREST ON UNDERPAYMENTS, OF THE REQUIRED AMOUNTS
DEPOSITED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES. THE INTEREST
PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO CASH BONDS POSTED AS
ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BEFORE THE DATE OF PUBLICATION

STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION OF THE ENTRY. IF THE

SHOULD DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
ABOVE-REFERENCED REGULATION. ADDITIONALLY, IF THE IMPORTER
FAILS TO RESPOND TO YOUR FORMAL REQUEST (VIA CF 28 OR 29)
FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION,
CUSTOMS SHOULD PRESUME REIMBURSEMENT AND DOUBLE THE
