the Antidumping Duty Order on Stainless Steel Bar 

from India,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby 

adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision 

Memorandum) 

On September 15, 2023, Commerce 

received a notice of intent to participate 

from Carpenter Technology Corporation, 

Crucible Industries LLC, Electralloy, a 

G.O., Carlson, Inc. Company, 

Marcegaglia Stainless Richburg, LLC, 

North American Stainless, Universal 

Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc., and 

Valbruna Slater Stainless, Inc. 

(collectively, the petitioners) within the 

deadline specified in 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The petitioners 

claimed interested party status under 

section 771(9)(C) of the Act as producers 

of a domestic like product in the United 

States. 

On September 29, 2023, we received 

a timely, adequate substantive response 

to the Initiation Notice from the 

petitioners within the 30-day deadline 

specified in 19 CFR 218(d)(3)(i).4 We 

received no substantive response from 

respondent parties nor was a hearing 

requested. 

On October 25, 2023, Commerce 

notified the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) that it did not receive 

adequate substantive responses from 

any other interested parties.5 As a 

result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce 

conducted an expedited, i.e., 120-day, 

sunset review of the Order. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is SS Bar. SS Bar means articles of 

stainless steel in straight lengths that 

have been either hot-rolled, forged, 

turned, cold-drawn, cold-rolled or 

otherwise cold-finished, or ground, 

having a uniform solid cross section 

along their whole length in the shape of 

circles, segments of circles, ovals, 

rectangles (including squares), triangles, 

hexagons, octagons or other convex 

polygons. SS Bar includes cold-finished 

SS Bars that are turned or ground in 

straight lengths, whether produced from 

hot-rolled bar or from straightened and 

cut rod or wire, and reinforcing bars that 

have indentations, ribs, grooves, or 

other deformations produced during the 

rolling process. 

Except as specified above, the term 

does not include stainless steel semifinished products, cut length flat-rolled 

products (i.e., cut length rolled products 

which if less than 4.75 mm in thickness 

have a width measuring at least 10 times 

the thickness, or if 4.75 mm or more in 

thickness having a width which exceeds 

150 mm and measures at least twice the 

thickness), wire (i.e., cold-formed 

products in coils, of any uniform solid 

cross section along their whole length, 

which do not conform to the definition 

of flat-rolled products), and angles, 

shapes and sections. 

Imports of these products are 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

7222.11.00, 7222.19.00, 7222.20.00, 

7222.30.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule (HTS). Although the HTS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, our 

written description of the scope of the 

Order is dispositive. 

Analysis of the Comments Received 

All issues raised in this sunset review 

are addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, including the likelihood 

of continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and the magnitude of the 

margins of dumping likely to prevail if 

the Order was revoked.6 A list of topics 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is included as the 

appendix to this notice. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to

Memorandum can be accessed directly

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Results of Expedited Sunset 

Review 

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1), and 

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce 

determines that revocation of the Order 

would be likely to lead to continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and that the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

likely to prevail would be at rates up to 

21.02 percent. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a). Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials or conversion to 

judicial protective order is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results in accordance with sections 

751(c), 752(c), and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 733(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

on June 27, 2023.1 On October 3, 2023, 

Commerce postponed the preliminary 

determination of this investigation until 

December 27, 2023.2

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are certain paper bags from 

Cambodia. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,4 in the 

Initiation Notice, Commerce set aside a 

period of time for parties to raise issues 

regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).5

Certain interested parties commented on 

the scope of the investigation as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice. For a 

summary of the product coverage 

comments and rebuttal responses 

submitted to the record for this 

investigation and accompanying 

discussion and analysis of all comments 

timely received, see the Preliminary 

Scope Decision Memorandum.6 As 

discussed in the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

preliminarily modified the scope 

language as it appeared in the Initiation 

Notice. In the Preliminary Scope 

Decision Memorandum, Commerce 

established the deadline for parties to 

submit scope case and rebuttal briefs. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Commerce has 

calculated export prices in accordance 

with section 772(a) of the Act. Normal 

value is calculated in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. Furthermore, 

pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act, Commerce preliminarily relied 

upon facts otherwise available, with 

adverse inferences for Pan Pacific 

Plastics Manufacturing, Inc. (Pan 

Pacific). For a full description of the 

methodology underlying the 

preliminary determination, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Determination of Critical 

Circumstances, in Part 

In accordance with section 733(e) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.206(c), 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that critical circumstances do not exist 

with respect to imports of paper bags 

from Cambodia for Nice Packaging 

(Cambodia) Co., Ltd. (Nice) and for all 

other producers and exporters, but do 

exist with respect to imports of paper 

bags from Pan Pacific. For a full 

description of the methodology and 

results of Commerce’s critical 

circumstances analysis, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Sections 733(d)(1)(A)(ii) and 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that in 

the preliminary determination, 

Commerce shall determine an estimated 

all-others rate for all exporters and 

producers not individually examined. 

This rate shall be an amount equal to 

the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. 

Commerce calculated an individual 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for Nice. As explained in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 

Commerce has preliminarily determined 

that, under section 772(a) of the Act, 

UUPak Company Limited (UUPak) did 

not have any reviewable sales during 

the POI and, as such, has not calculated 

a preliminary margin for UUPak.7 As a 

result, because we have only calculated 

one margin and that margin is not zero, 

de minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available, the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for Nice is the margin 

assigned to UUPak and all other 

producers and exporters, pursuant to 

section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act. 

Preliminary Determination 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Nice Packaging (Cambodia) Co., 

Ltd ........................................... 10.05 

UUPak Company Limited ........... 10.05 

Pan Pacific Plastics Manufacturing, Inc ................................ 248.81 

All Others .................................... 10.05 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. 

Section 733(e)(2) of the Act provides 

that, given an affirmative determination 

of critical circumstances, any 

suspension of liquidation shall apply to 

unliquidated entries of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the later of: (a) the date which is 

90 days before the date on which the 

suspension of liquidation was first 

ordered; or (b) the date on which notice 

of initiation of the investigation was 

published. Commerce preliminarily 

finds that critical circumstances exist

for imports of subject merchandise 

produced or exported by Pan Pacific. In 

accordance with section 733(e)(2)(A) of 

the Act, the suspension of liquidation 

shall apply to unliquidated entries of 

shipments of subject merchandise from 

the producer/exporter identified in this 

paragraph that were entered, or

351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP 

to require a cash deposit equal to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin or the estimated all-others rate, 

as follows: (1) the cash deposit rates for 

the respondents listed above will be 

equal to the company-specific estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

calculated in this preliminary 

determination; (2) if the exporter is not 

a respondent identified above, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be equal to the company-specific 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin established for that producer of 

the subject merchandise; and (3) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

and exporters will be equal to the allothers estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin. These suspension of 

liquidation instructions will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with this 

preliminary determination within five 

days of its public announcement or, if 

there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance no later than seven days 

after the date on which the final 

verification report is issued in this 

investigation.8 Rebuttal briefs, limited to 

issues raised in case briefs, may be 

submitted no later than five days after 

the deadline date for case briefs.9

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and 

(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this investigation are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) a statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities.10

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this 

investigation, we instead request that 

interested parties provide at the 

beginning of their briefs a public, 

executive summary for each issue raised 

in their briefs.11 Further, we request that 

interested parties limit their executive 

summary of each issue to no more than 

450 words, not including citations. We 

intend to use the executive summaries 

as the basis of the comment summaries 

included in the issues and decision 

memorandum that will accompany the 

final determination in this investigation. 

We request that interested parties 

include footnotes for relevant citations 

in the executive summary of each issue. 

Note that Commerce has amended 

certain of its requirements pertaining to 

the service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).12

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a date and 

time to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination if, in the 

event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by exporters who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the petitioner. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2), 

Commerce requires that requests by 

exporters for postponement of a final 

determination be accompanied by a 

request for extension of provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period not more than six months in 

duration. 

On November 17, 2023, pursuant to 

19 CFR 351.210(e), Nice, requested that 

Commerce postpone the final 

determination and that provisional 

measures be extended to a period not to 

exceed six months.13 On November 21, 

2023, the Coalition For Fair Trade in 

Shopping Bags (the petitioner) 

requested that Commerce postpone the 

final determination in the event of a 

negative preliminary determination.14

In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), 

because: (1) the preliminary 

determination is affirmative; (2) the 

requesting exporter accounts for a 

significant proportion of exports of the 

subject merchandise; and (3) no 

compelling reasons for denial exist, 

Commerce is postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, Commerce will 

make its final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its preliminary determination of sales at 

LTFV. If the final determination is 

affirmative, the ITC will determine 

before the later of 120 days after the date 

of this preliminary determination or 45 

days after the final determination

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The products within the scope of this 

investigation are paper shopping bags with 

handles of any type, regardless of whether 

there is any printing, regardless of how the 

top edges are finished (e.g., folded, serrated, 

or otherwise finished), regardless of color, 

and regardless of whether the top edges 

contain adhesive or other material for sealing 

closed. Subject paper shopping bags have a 

width of at least 4.5 inches and depth of at 

least 2.5 inches. 

Paper shopping bags typically are made of 

kraft paper but can be made from any type 

of cellulose fiber, paperboard, or pressboard 

with a basis weight less than 300 grams per 

square meter (GSM). 

A non-exhaustive illustrative list of the 

types of handles on shopping bags covered 

by the scope include handles made from any 

materials such as twisted paper, flat paper, 

yarn, ribbon, rope, string, or plastic, as well 

as die-cut handles (whether the punchout is 

fully removed or partially attached as a flap). 

Excluded from the scope are: 

• Paper sacks or bags that are of a 1⁄6 or 1⁄7

barrel size (i.e., 11.5–12.5 inches in width, 

6.5–7.5 inches in depth, and 13.5–17.5 

inches in height) with flat paper handles or 

die-cut handles; 

• Paper sacks or bags with die-cut handles, 

a grams per square meter paper weight of less 

than 86 GSM, and a height of less than 11.5 

inches; and 

• Paper sacks or bags (i) with non-paper 

handles made wholly of woven ribbon or 

other similar woven fabric 15 and (ii) that are 

finished with folded tops or for which tied 

knots or t-bar aglets (made of wood, metal, 

or plastic) are used to secure the handles to 

the bags. 

The above-referenced dimensions are 

provided for paper bags in the opened 

position. The height of the bag is the distance 

from the bottom fold edge to the top edge 

(i.e., excluding the height of handles that 

extend above the top edge). The depth of the 

bag is the distance from the front of the bag 

edge to the back of the bag edge (typically 

measured at the bottom of the bag). The 

width of the bag is measured from the left to 

the right edges of the front and back panels 

(upon which the handles typically are 

located). 

This merchandise is currently classifiable 

under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings 

4819.30.0040 and 4819.40.0040. The HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes only; the written 

description of the scope is dispositive.
