SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Applicable Statute and Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the statute are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments to

the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) by the

Uruguay Round Agreements Act

(URAA). In addition, unless otherwise

indicated, all citations to the

Department’s regulations are to the

current regulations, as amended by the

interim regulations published in the

Federal Register on May 11, 1995 (60

FR 25130).

Background

The antidumping duty order on SSF

from India was published February 9,

1994 (59 FR 5994). On October 1, 1996,

the Department published in the

Federal Register the preliminary results

of its new shipper review of the

antidumping duty order on SSF from

India (61 FR 51261). The Department

has now completed this new shipper

review in accordance with section 751

of the Act.

Scope of the Review

The products covered by this order

are certain forged stainless steel flanges

both finished and not finished,

generally manufactured to specification

ASTM A–182, and made in alloys such

as 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. The scope

includes five general types of flanges.

They are weld neck, used for butt-weld

line connection; threaded, used for

threaded line connections; slip-on and

lap joint, used with stub-ends/butt-weld

line connections; socket weld, used to

fit pipe into a machined recession; and

blind, used to seal off a line. The sizes

of the flanges within the scope range

generally from one to six inches;

however, all sizes of the abovedescribed merchandise are included in

the scope. Specifically excluded from

the scope of this order are cast stainless

steel flanges. Cast stainless steel flanges

generally are manufactured to

specification ASTM A–351. The flanges

subject to this order are currently

classifiable under subheadings

7307.21.1000 and 7307.21.5000 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTSUS). The HTSUS

subheadings are provided for

convenience and customs purposes. The

written description of the scope of this

order remains dispositive.

The review covers one Indian

manufacturer/exporter, Viraj, and the

period March 1, 1995 through August

31, 1995.

Final Results of Review

We gave interested parties an

opportunity to comment on the

preliminary results. We received no

comments. We have determined that a

margin of zero percent exists for Viraj

for the period March 1, 1995 through

August 31, 1995.

The Department shall instruct the

U.S. Customs Service to assess no

antidumping duties on all appropriate

entries.

Furthermore, the following deposit

requirements will be effective for all

shipments of subject merchandise

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

for consumption on or after the

publication date of these final results, as

provided for by section 751(a)(1) of the

Act:

(1) The cash deposit rate for Viraj will

be zero percent;

(2) for exporters not covered in this

review, but covered in previous reviews

or the original less-than-fair-value

(LTFV) investigation, the cash deposit

rate will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most

recent period;

(3) if the exporter is not a firm

covered in this review, previous

reviews, or the original 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 162.14 percent. This rate

is the ‘‘All Others’’ rate established in

the LTFV investigation.

This notice also serves as a final

reminder to importers of their

responsibility under 19 CFR § 353.26 to

file a certificate regarding the

reimbursement of antidumping duties

prior to liquidation of the relevant

entries during the review period. Failure

to comply with this requirement could

result in the Secretary’s presumption

that reimbursement of antidumping

duties occurred and the subsequent
