Disclosure and Public Hearing 

We will disclose the calculations used 

in our analysis to parties to this 

proceeding within five days of the 

publication date of this notice. See 19 

CFR 351.224(b). Any interested party 

may request a hearing within 30 days of 

publication. See 19 CFR 351.310(c). 

Interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing or to participate if one is 

requested, must submit a written 

request to the Assistant Secretary for 

Import Administration, Room B–099, 

within 30 days of the date of publication 

of this notice. Requests should contain: 

(1) The party’s name, address and 

telephone number; (2) the number of 

participants; and (3) a list of issues to be 

discussed. See 19 CFR 351.310(c). 

Issues raised in the hearing will be

interested parties may submit written 

comments in response to these 

preliminary results. Unless the time 

period is extended by the Department, 

case briefs are to be submitted within 30

The Department will issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

issues raised in any written briefs, not 

later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, the Department 

shall determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212. The Department intends to 

issue assessment instructions for the 

companies subject to this review to CBP 

15 days after the date of publication of 

the final results of this review. 

We will calculate importer–specific 

ad valorem duty assessment rates based 

on the ratio of the total amount of 

antidumping duties calculated for the 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of the examined sales for that 

importer. We will instruct CBP to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review if any 

importer–specific assessment rate 

calculated in the final results of this 

review is above de minimis (i.e., at or 

above 0.50 percent). Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate without regard to antidumping 

duties any entries for which the 

assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less 

than 0.50 percent). See 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1). The final results of this 

review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable. 

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment 

Policy Notice). This clarification will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by any 

company included in the final results of 

review for which the reviewed company 

did not know that the merchandise it 

sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, 

trading company, or exporter) was 

destined for the United States. In such 

instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the ‘‘All 

Others’’ rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediary involved in the 

transaction. See Assessment Policy 

Notice for a full discussion of this 

clarification. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: 1) the 

cash deposit rate for the company listed 

above will be that established in the 

final results of this review, except if the 

rate is less than 0.50 percent, and 

therefore, de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in 

which case the cash deposit rate will be 

zero; 2) for previously reviewed or 

investigated companies not 

participating in this review, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company–specific rate published for the 

most recent period; 3) if the exporter is 

not a firm covered in this review, or the 

original less–than-fair–value 

investigation (LTFV) investigation, but 

the manufacturer is, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate established for the 

most recent period for the manufacturer 

of the merchandise; and 4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 4.48 

percent, the ‘‘All Others’’ rate made 

effective by the LTFV investigation. 

These requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

This administrative review and notice 

are published in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.221. 

Dated: March 22, 2007.

Administration.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

has received a request for a new shipper 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on stainless steel bar from India. In 

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

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 

19 CFR 351.214(d), we are initiating an 

antidumping duty new shipper review 

of Sunflag Iron & Steel Co. Ltd. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 30, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Devta Ohri or Brandon Farlander, AD/ 

CVD Operations, Office 1, Import 

Administration, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution 

Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; 

telephone: (202) 482–3853 or (202) 482–

0182, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 21, 1995, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published 

in the Federal Register the antidumping 

duty order on stainless steel bar (‘‘SSB’’) 

from India. See Antidumping Duty 

Orders: Stainless Steel Bar form Brazil, 

India and Japan, 60 FR 9661 (February 

21, 1995). 

On February 28, 2007, the Department 

received a timely request from Sunflag 

Iron & Steel Co. Ltd. (‘‘Sunflag’’), for a 

new shipper review of the antidumping 

duty order on SSB from India, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(c). 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the 

Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), 

Sunflag certified in its request that it did 

not export the subject merchandise to 

the United States during the period of 

investigation (‘‘POI’’). In addition, 

pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), 

Sunflag certified that it is not currently 

affiliated and never has been affiliated 

with any exporter or producer who 

exported the subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POI (July 1, 

1993, through December 31, 1993), 

including those not individually 

examined during the investigation. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv), 

Sunflag also submitted documentation 

establishing the date on which its 

stainless steel bar was first shipped for 

export to the United States, the volume 

of that shipment, and the date of the 

first sale to an unaffiliated customer in 

the United States. 

The Department conducted a query of 

the U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) database to confirm that 

Sunflag’s shipment of subject 

merchandise had entered the United 

States for consumption and has been 

suspended for antidumping duties. The 

Department also corroborated Sunflag’s 

assertion that it made no subsequent 

shipments to the United States by 

reviewing CBP data. 

Initiation of Review 

In accordance with section 

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

351.214(d), we find that the request 

submitted by Sunflag meets the 

threshold requirements for initiation of 

a new shipper review. See 

Memorandum to the File from Devta 

Ohri, International Trade Compliance 

Analyst, through Susan Kuhbach, 

Senior Office Director, Office 1: New 

Shipper Review Initiation Checklist, 

dated March 23, 2007. Accordingly, we 

are initiating a new shipper review of 

the antidumping duty order on stainless 

steel bar from India. 

This review covers the period 

February 1, 2006 through January 31, 

2007. We intend to issue the 

preliminary results of this review no 

later than 180 days after the date on 

which this review is initiated, and the 

final results within 90 days after the 

date on which we issue the preliminary 

results. See Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of 

the Act. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

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 U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection to collect a bond 

or other security in lieu of a cash 

deposit in new shipper reviews during 

the period April 1, 2006 through June 

30, 2009. Therefore, the posting of a 

bond or other security under section 

751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act 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 12.45 percent. 

See Notice of Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Stainless 

Steel Bar from India, 59 FR 66915 

(December 28, 1994). 

Interested parties may submit 

applications for disclosure of business 

proprietary information under 

administrative protective order in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 

351.306. 

This initiation and this notice are 

issued and published in accordance 

with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 

sections 351.214(d) and 351.221(c)(1)(i) 

of the Department’s regulations. 

Dated: March 23, 2007.

Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

702 of the Trade Agreements Act of 

1979 (as amended) (‘‘the Act’’) requires 

the Department of Commerce (the 

‘‘Department’’) to determine, in 

consultation with the Secretary of 

Agriculture, whether any foreign 

government is providing a subsidy with 

respect to any article of cheese subject 

to an in–quota rate of duty, as defined 

in section 702(h) of the Act, and to 

publish an annual list and quarterly 

updates of the type and amount of those 

subsidies. We hereby provide the 

Department’s annual list of subsidies on 

articles of cheese that were imported 

during the period October 1, 2005, 

through September 30, 2006. 

The Department has developed, in 

consultation with the Secretary of 

Agriculture, information on subsidies 

(as defined in section 702(h) of the Act) 

being provided either directly or 

indirectly by foreign governments on 

articles of cheese subject to an in–quota 

rate of duty. The appendix to this notice 

lists the country, the subsidy program or 

programs, and the gross and net 

amounts of each subsidy for which 

information is currently available. The 

Department will incorporate additional 

programs which are found to constitute 

subsidies, and additional information 

on the subsidy programs listed, as the 

information is developed. 

The Department encourages any 

person having information on foreign 

government subsidy programs which 

benefit articles of cheese subject to an 

in–quota rate of duty to submit such 

information in writing to the Assistant
