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.
