# Corrected 2007 Calculation of Expected Non-Market Economy Wages
**AGENCY:**
Import Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
**ACTION:**
Correction of 2007 Expected Non-Market Economy Wage Calculation.
**SUMMARY:**
On May 9, 2008 the Department published finalized 2007 expected NME wage rates. *See* 2007 Calculation of Expected Non-Market Economy Wages, 73 FR 26363, (May 9, 2008). However, those results inadvertently omitted observation #1 (the data for Albania) from the regression analysis. That error has been corrected.
**DATES:**
These expected NME wage rates are finalized on the date of publication of this notice in the *Federal Register* and will be in effect for all antidumping proceedings for which the Department's final decision is due after the publication of this notice.
**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:**

**Correction of Clerical Error**
The Department inadvertently omitted observation #1 (the data for Albania) from the regression analysis. That error has now been corrected.
**Results**
After correction of the clerical error, the regression results are:
Wage = 0.257585 + 0.000448* GNI.
The final expected NME wage rates, as calculated after this correction, are shown in Attachment 1.
Dated: May 12, 2008.
