SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 1, 2021, based on timely 

requests for review, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on SS bar from 

India.1 The period of review is February 

1, 2020, through January 31, 2021. On 

September 30, 2021, we extended the 

preliminary results of this review to no 

later than February 25, 2022.2 For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is SS bar from India. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the parties that requested a 

review withdraw the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

notice of initiation. Commerce received 

a timely-filed withdrawal request from 

to Ambica Steels Limited (Ambica), 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).4

Because the withdrawal request was 

timely filed, and no other party 

requested a review of the company, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce is rescinding this review of 

the Order with respect to Ambica. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

Export price and constructed export 

price are calculated in accordance with 

section 772 of the Act. NV is calculated 

in accordance with section 773 of the 

Act. For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 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. A list 

of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included in the appendix to this notice. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the following 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

the period February 1, 2020, through 

January 31, 2021: 

Producer or exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Venus Wire Industries Pvt. Ltd., and its 

affiliates Hindustan Inox Ltd., Precision Metals and Sieves Manufacturers (India) Pvt. Ltd.5 .......................... 0.00 

Laxcon Steels Limited ........................... 0.65 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results in 

this administrative review, Commerce 

shall determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this POR.6 If a 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 

percent) in the final results of these 

reviews, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of 

the ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and, where possible, the total 

entered value of sales. Specifically, 

Commerce will apply the assessment 

rate calculation method adopted in 

Final Modification for Reviews.7 Where 

an importer- (or customer-) specific ad 

valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.8

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by the Venus 

Group and Laxcon for which they did 

not know their merchandise was 

destined for the United States, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 

entries at the all-others rate if there is no 

rate for the intermediate company(ies) 

involved in the transaction. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following 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 companies 

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 investigated or 

reviewed companies not covered in this 

review, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific 

cash deposit rate published for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, or the lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but 

the manufacturer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

for the most recent segment 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 allothers rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.9 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days after 

the date of publication of this notice.10

Verification 

On July 12, 2021, Commerce received 

a request from domestic producers 

Carpenter Technology Corporation, 

Crucible Industries LLC, Electralloy, a 

Division of G.O. Carlson, Inc., North 

American Stainless, Universal Stainless 

& Alloy Products, Inc., and Valbruna 

Slater Stainless, Inc. (collectively, 

Petitioners) to conduct verification of 

the responses in this administrative 

review.11 As provided in section 

782(i)(3) of the Act, Commerce intends 

to verify the information relied upon in 

the final results. Normally, Commerce 

verifies information using standard 

procedures, including an on-site 

examination of original accounting, 

financial, and sales documentation. 

However, due to current travel 

restrictions in response to the global 

COVID–19 pandemic, Commerce is 

unable to conduct on-site verification in 

this review. Accordingly, we intend to 

verify the information relied upon in the 

final results through alternative means 

in lieu of on-site verification. Commerce 

will notify interested parties of any 

additional documentation or 

information required. 

Public Comment 

Because Commerce intends to 

conduct verification after these 

preliminary results, interested parties 

will be provided an opportunity to 

submit written comments (case briefs) at 

a date to be determined by Commerce 

and rebuttal comments (rebuttal briefs) 

within seven days after the time limit 

for filing case briefs.12 Pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.309(d)(2), rebuttal briefs must 

be limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs.13 Commerce modified certain of 

its requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information until further notice.14

Parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this proceeding 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.15

Unless the deadline is extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this review, including the 

results of its analysis of the issues raised 

in any written briefs, no later than 120 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h). 

Final Results 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis 

raised in any written briefs, no later 

than 120 days after the publication of 

these preliminary results in the Federal 

Register, unless otherwise extended.16

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 comply with this 

requirement could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4).
