Stainless Steel Wire Rod from India: 

Notice of Initiation of Antidumping 

Duty New–Shipper Review 

AGENCY: Import Administration, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 20, 2007. 

SUMMARY: On December 29, 2006, the 

Department of Commerce received a 

request to conduct a new–shipper 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on stainless steel wire rod from India. In 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), and 19 CFR 351.214(d), we are 

initiating a new–shipper review of 

Sunflag Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., the 

exporter and producer that requested 

the new–shipper review. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Catherine Cartsos or Minoo Hatten at 

(202) 482–1757 or (202) 482–1690, 

respectively, AD/CVD Operations,

International Trade Administration, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th 

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW, 

Washington, DC 20230. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The notice announcing the 

antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel wire rod from India was published 

on December 1, 1993. See Antidumping 

Duty Order: Certain Stainless Steel Wire 

Rods from India, 58 FR 63335 

(December 1, 1993). On December 29, 

2006, the Department of Commerce (the 

Department) received a timely request 

for a new–shipper review of the order 

from Sunflag Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. 

(Sunflag). See section 751(a)(2)(B) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.214(c). Sunflag is 

both the Indian producer and exporter 

of the subject merchandise to the United 

States on which its request for a new–

shipper review is based. As required by 

19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i) and (iii)(A), 

Sunflag certified that it is a producer 

and exporter of the subject merchandise, 

that it did not export stainless steel wire 

rod to the United States during the 

period of investigation (POI) (July 1, 

1992, through December 31, 1992), and 

that, since the initiation of the 

investigation, it has never been affiliated 

with any exporter or producer that 

exported stainless steel wire rod to the 

United States during the POI.1

In addition, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iv), the company 

submitted documentation establishing 

the following: (1) the date on which it 

first shipped the subject merchandise 

for export to the United States; (2) the 

volume of its first shipment and its 

subsequent shipment;2 and (3) the date 

of its first sale to an unaffiliated 

customer in the United States. 

On January 31, 2007, the Department 

postponed its decision regarding 

whether to initiate the new–shipper 

review because, based upon its routine 

examination of Customs and Border 

Protection entry data, it was not clear 

whether the merchandise exported by 

Sunflag to the United States qualified as 

subject merchandise. See Memorandum 

from Catherine Cartsos through Minoo 

Hatten to the File, New–Shipper Review 

of Stainless Steel Wire Rod from India: 

Customs and Border Protection Entry 

Data, dated January 31, 2007. Under 19 

CFR 351.302(b), the Department may 

extend any time limit established by its 

regulations for good cause unless 

expressly precluded by the statute. See 

Letter from Laurie Parkhill to Mr. M.D. 

Ghumare, General Manager of Exports 

for Sunflag, dated January 31, 2007. The 

status of the Sunflag entries is no longer 

at issue because the Department has 

determined that the merchandise 

exported by Sunflag to the United States 

qualifies as subject merchandise. See 

Memorandum from Catherine Cartsos 

through Minoo Hatten to the File, New–

Shipper Review of Stainless Steel Wire 

Rod from India: Customs and Border 

Protection Entry Data and Documents, 

dated March 13, 2007. 

Initiation of New–Shipper Review 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2) and (d)(1), we find that 

Sunflag’s request meets the threshold 

requirements for initiation of a new–

shipper review. See March 13, 2007, 

Memorandum to the File through Laurie 

Parkhill, Director, AD/CVD Operations, 

Office 5, from the team regarding the 

new–shipper review initiation checklist. 

Accordingly, we are initiating a new–

shipper review of the antidumping duty 

order on stainless steel wire rod from 

India for shipments produced and 

exported by Sunflag. The period of 

review is December 1, 2005, through 

November 30, 2006. See 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(i)(A). We intend to issue 

the preliminary results of this new–

shipper review no later than 180 days 

after initiation of this review. See 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.214(i). We intend to issue the 

final results of this review no later than 

90 days after the date on which the 

preliminary results are issued. See 

section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.214(i). On August 17, 2006, the 

Pension Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4) 

was signed into law. Section 1632 of 

H.R. 4 temporarily suspends the 

authority of the Department to instruct 

Customs and Border Protection to 

collect a bond or other security in lieu 

of a cash deposit in new–shipper 

reviews. Therefore, the posting of a 

bond under section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e) in lieu 

of a cash deposit is not available in this 

case. Importers of subject merchandise 

manufactured and exported by Sunflag 

must continue to pay a cash deposit of 

estimated antidumping duties on each 

entry of subject merchandise at the 

current all–others rate of 48.80 percent. 

Interested parties that need access to 

proprietary information in this new–

shipper review should submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective orders in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 

351.306. 

This initiation and notice are in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of 

the Act, 19 CFR 351.214(d), and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i).

Antarctic Marine Living Resources 

Convention Act of 1984; Conservation 

and Management Measures 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues this notice to 

notify the public that the United States 

has accepted conservation and 

management measures and resolutions 

pertaining to fishing in Antarctic waters 

managed by the Commission for the 

Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living 

Resources (Commission or CCAMLR). 

The Commission adopted these 

measures at its twenty-fifth meeting in 

Hobart, Tasmania, October 23 to 

November 3, 2006. The measures have 

been agreed upon by the Member 

countries of CCAMLR, including the 

United States, in accordance with 

Article IX of the Convention for the 

Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living 

Resources (the Convention). The 

measures: include measures previously 

adopted by the Commission and 

remaining in force; measures adopted 

for the 2006/2007 fishing season to 

restrict overall catches, research catch 

and bycatch of certain species of fish, 

krill and crab; limit participation in 

several exploratory fisheries; restrict 

fishing in certain areas and to certain 

gear types; and set forth: fishing seasons 

fishery-by-fishery, revisions to 

previously adopted measures; new 

measures, and new resolutions. The 

Commission also adopted a list of 

vessels suspected to be engaged in 

illegal, unregulated or unreported 

fishing in the Convention Area. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the CCAMLR 

conservation and management measures 

may be obtained from the Assistant 

Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The full text of the conservation and 

management measures and resolutions 

agreed to by consensus by CCAMLR at 

its 2006 meeting were published by the 

U.S. Department of State in a formal 

notice in the Federal Register on 

January 29, 2007 (72 FR 4068). 

Public comments were invited on the 

notice; one comment was received. The 

commenter suggested that the use of 

gillnets and longlines be banned in the 

Convention Area. As indicated in the 

Department of State notice, CCAMLR 

has adopted an interim prohibition on 

the use of deep-sea gillnets. The 

prohibition will remain in force until 

the CCAMLR Scientific Committee has 

investigated and reported on the 

potential impacts of gillnets in the 

Convention Area. Regarding longline 

fishing, CCAMLR first adopted 

measures requiring fishers to employ 

techniques minimizing the incidental 

mortality of seabirds in the course of 

longline fishing in 1991. At its 2006 

meeting, CCAMLR’s Ad Hoc Working 

Group on Incidental Mortality 

Associated with Fishing noted the 

resulting continuing low levels of 

incidental mortality of seabirds in 

regulated longline fisheries in most 

parts of the Convention Area. There 

were no reports of incidental mortality 

of marine mammals in longline gear in 

the 2005/2006 fishing season. 

Through this action, NMFS notifies 

the public that the United States has 

accepted the measures and resolutions 

adopted at CCAMLR’s twenty-fifth 

meeting. NMFS provides the following
