Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars from Ukraine; Final Results of 
the Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce
SUMMARY: On November 27, 2006, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published a notice of preliminary results of the full 
sunset review of the antidumping duty order on steel concrete 
reinforcing bars (``rebar'') from Ukraine pursuant to section 751(c) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). We provided 
interested parties an opportunity to comment on our preliminary 
results. We did not receive comments from either domestic or respondent 
interested parties. As a result of this review, the Department finds 
that revocation of this order would be likely to lead to continuation 
or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated in the ``Final Results 
of Review'' section of this notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 5, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 27, 2006, the Department published in the Federal 
Register a notice of preliminary results of the full sunset review of 
the antidumping duty order on rebar from Ukraine, pursuant to section 
751(c) of the Act. See Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars from Ukraine; 
Preliminary Results of the Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty Order, 71 
FR 68543 (November 27,

[[Page 9733]]

2006) (``Preliminary Results''). In our Preliminary Results, we 
determined that revocation of the order would likely result in 
continuation or recurrence of dumping with a margin of 41.69 percent 
for the all others rate, including Mittal Steel Kryviy Rih and 
Krivorozhstal Steel Works. We did not receive a case brief on behalf of 
either domestic or respondent interested parties within the deadline 
specified in 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(i).

Scope of the Order

    The product covered by this order is all steel concrete reinforcing 
bars sold in straight lengths, currently classifiable in the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') under item numbers 
7214.20.00, 7228.30.8050, 7222.11.0050, 7222.30.0000, 7228.60.6000, 
7228.20.1000, or any other tariff item number. Specifically excluded 
are plain rounds (i.e., non-deformed or smooth bars) and rebar that has 
been further processed through bending or coating.
    HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes. The written description of the scope of the order is 
dispositive.

Analysis of Comments Received

    The Department did not receive case briefs from either domestic or 
respondent interested parties. Therefore, we have not made any changes 
to our Preliminary Results.

Final Results of Review

    We determine that revocation of the antidumping duty order on rebar 
from Ukraine would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of 
dumping at the following weighted-average margin:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                               Weighted-Average Margin
     Manufacturers/Producers/Exporters                (Percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Others Rate, including Mittal Steel                            41.69
 Kryviy Rih and ``Krivorozhstal'' Steel

\1\ As of February 1, 2006, Ukraine graduated to market economy status.
  See Final Results of Inquiry Into Ukraine's Status as a Non-Market
  Economy Country, 71 FR 9520 (February 24, 2006). As a result, the
  Ukraine wide rate is now the All Others rate. Mittal Steel is
  considered part of the all others rate because a successor-in-interest
  determination has not been made. See, e.g., Cut-to-Length Carbon Steel
  Plate from Belgium, Brazil, Finland, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Romania,
  Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom and Carbon Steel Plate from
  Taiwan; Second Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews of Antidumping Duty Orders
  and Antidumping Finding; Final Results, 71 FR 11577, 11579 (March 8,
  2006) (explaining that Duferco is subject to the all others rate
  because the Department had not yet conducted a changed circumstances
  review to determine the successor-in-interest to Forges de Clabecq,
  S.A.).

    This notice 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 in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order 
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the 
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: February 27, 2007.

Assistant Secretaryfor Import Administration.
