Stainless Steel Bar From India: Final

Results of Antidumping Duty New

Shipper Review

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of final results of

antidumping duty new shipper review:

stainless steel bar From India.

SUMMARY: On October 4, 2000, the

Department of Commerce published the

preliminary results of the new shipper

review of the antidumping duty order

on stainless steel bar from India. This

review covers one manufacturer/

exporter, Atlas Stainless Corporation.

This review covers sales of the subject

merchandise to the United States during

the period February 1, 1999 through

January 31, 2000. We gave interested

parties an opportunity to comment on

the preliminary results of review but

received no comments. The final results

do not differ from the preliminary

results of review, in which we found

that the respondent did not make sales

in the United States at prices below

normal value.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 5, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Blanche Ziv or Ryan Langan, Office 1,

Import Administration, International

Trade Administration, U.S. Department

of Commerce, 14th Street and

Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Applicable Statute

Unless otherwise indicated, all

citations to the Tariff Act of 1930, as

amended (‘‘the Act’’), are references to

the provisions effective January 1, 1995,

the effective date of the amendments

made to the Act by the Uruguay Round

Agreements Act. In addition, unless

otherwise indicated, all citations to the

Department of Commerce’s (‘‘the

Department’s’’) regulations are to 19

CFR Part 351 (1999).

Background

On October 4, 2000, the Department

published in the Federal Register the

preliminary results of its new shipper

review of stainless steel bar from India.

See Preliminary Results of the New

Shipper Review, 65 FR 59173 (October

4, 2000). We invited parties to comment

on our preliminary results of review. We

received no comments. The Department

has now completed the new shipper

review in accordance with section 751

of the Act.

Scope of Review

Imports covered by this review are

shipments of stainless steel bar (‘‘SSB’’).

SSB 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. SSB includes coldfinished SSBs 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.

The SSB subject to these orders is

currently classifiable under subheadings

7222.10.0005, 7222.10.0050,

7222.20.0005, 7222.20.0045,

7222.20.0075, and 7222.30.0000 of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the

HTSUS subheadings are provided for

convenience and customs purposes, our

written description of the scope of this

order is dispositive.

Final Results of the Review

We received no comments from

interested parties on our preliminary

results. In addition, we have determined

that no changes to our analysis are

warranted for purposes of these final

results. The weighted-average dumping

margin for Atlas for the period February

1, 1999 through January 31, 2000, is as

follows:

Manufacturer/exporter Margin

Atlas Stainless Corporation

(‘‘Atlas’’) ..................................... 0.00%

Because the weighted-average

dumping margin is zero, we will

instruct the Customs Service to

liquidate entries made during this

review period without regard to

antidumping duties for the subject

merchandise that Atlas exported.

Cash-Deposit Requirements

The following deposit requirements

shall be effective upon publication of

this notice of final results of

administrative review for all shipments

of stainless steel bar from India, entered,

or withdrawn from warehouse, for

consumption on or after the publication

date, as provided for by section

751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) The cashdeposit rate for the reviewed company

will be the rate indicated above; (2) for

previously investigated or reviewed

companies, 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 or any previous review or the

original less-than-fair-value

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 12.45

percent, the all-others rate.

These deposit requirements shall

remain in effect until publication of the

final results of the next administrative

review.

This notice serves as a final reminder

to importers of their responsibility

under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a

certificate regarding the reimbursement

of antidumping duties prior to

liquidation of the relevant entries

during this review period. Failure to

75924 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 234 / Tuesday, December 5, 2000 / Notices

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 notice also serves as the only

reminder to parties subject to

administrative protective order (‘‘APO’’)

of their responsibility concerning the

disposition of proprietary information

disclosed under APO in accordance

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely

notification of return/destruction of

APO materials or conversion to judicial

protective order is hereby requested.

Failure to comply with the regulations

and the terms of an APO is a

sanctionable violation.

We are issuing and publishing this

determination in accordance with

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

Act, and 19 CFR 351.214.

Dated: November 28, 2000.

Background

Based on a request from Bhansali, and

Department initiated a new shipper

review of the antidumping duty order

on certain stainless steel flanges from

India, covering the period February 1,

1999 through February 29, 2000 (65 FR

8120, February 17, 2000). The final

results are currently due no later than

final results may be extended from 90 to

150 days after the issuance of the

preliminary results, according to section

751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Tariff Act and

351.214(i)(2) of the Department’s

regulations.

Postponement of Final Results

The Department has determined that

the issues of this case are

extraordinarily complicated and it is not

practicable to issue the final results of

the new shipper review within the

original time limit. See Memorandum

from Richard A. Weible to Joseph A.

Spetrini, Deputy Assistant Secretary,

Enforcement Group III, November 22,

2000. Accordingly, the Department is

extending the time limit for completion

of the final results of this review until

February 12, 2001, the first business day

following the sixtieth day from the

issuance of the preliminary results.

Dated: November 22, 2000.

Agreement (‘‘Agreement’’) establishes a

mechanism to replace domestic judicial

review of final determinations in

antidumping and countervailing duty

cases involving imports from a NAFTA

established to act in place of national

courts to review expeditiously the final

determination to determine whether it

conforms with the antidumping or

countervailing duty law of the country

that made the determination.

Under Article 1904 of the Agreement,

which came into force on January 1,

1994, the Government of the United

States, the Government of Canada and

the Government of Mexico established

Rules of Procedure for Article 1904

Binational Panel Reviews (‘‘Rules’’).

These Rules were published in the

Federal Register on February 23, 1994

(59 FR 8686). The panel review in this

matter was requested and terminated

pursuant to these Rules.
