not established eligibility for a separate 

rate and, thus, they should continue to 

be part of the PRC-wide entity for these 

final results. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, the 

Department will determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. The Department 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

to CBP 15 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of 

review. The Department recently 

announced a refinement to its 

assessment practice in NME cases. 

Pursuant to this refinement in practice, 

for entries that were not reported in the 

U.S. sales databases submitted by 

companies individually examined 

during this review, the Department will 

instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 

the NME-wide rate. In addition, if the 

Department determines that an exporter 

under review had no shipments of the 

subject merchandise, any suspended 

entries that entered under that 

exporter’s case number (i.e., at that 

exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the 

NME-wide rate.15

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for shipments of 

the subject merchandise from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided by 

sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

previously investigated or reviewed PRC 

and non-PRC exporters that received a 

separate rate in a prior segment of this 

proceeding that are not listed in 

footnote 14, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate; (2) for all PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not been 

found to be entitled to a separate rate 

(including the firms listed in footnote 

14), the cash deposit rate will be the 

existing rate for the PRC-wide entity; 

and (3) for all non-PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

PRC exporter that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notifications 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 

CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in the Department’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties has occurred and 

the subsequent assessment of doubled 

antidumping duties. 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to the 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 the 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 these 

results and this notice in accordance 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine that a 

weighted-average dumping margin of 

0.00 percent exists for Villares for the 

period February 1, 2013, through 

January 31, 2014. 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed to parties in this proceeding 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may 

submit case briefs not later than 30 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues 

raised in the case briefs, may be filed 

not later than five days after the date for 

filing case briefs.3 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.4

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, or to participate if one is 

requested, must submit a written 

request to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance, filed 

electronically via ACCESS. An 

electronically filed document must be 

received successfully in its entirety by 

the Department’s electronic records 

system, ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern 

Time within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.5 Requests 

should contain: (1) The party’s name,

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. Issues raised in 

the hearing will be limited to those

Department intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any written briefs, 

not later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, unless 

extended, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, the Department 

shall determine and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. If Villares’ weighted-average 

dumping margin is above de minimis in 

the final results of this review, we will 

calculate an importer-specific 

assessment rate on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of antidumping 

duties calculated for each importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of the sales in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Villares’ weightedaverage dumping margin continues to be 

zero or de minimis in the final results 

of review, we will instruct CBP not to 

assess duties on any of its entries in 

accordance with the Final Modification 

for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here the weightedaverage margin of dumping for the 

exporter is determined to be zero or de 

minimis, no antidumping duties will be 

assessed.’’6

The Department clarified its 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on 

May 6, 2003.7 This clarification will 

apply to entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Villares for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States. In 

such instances, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction. 

We intend to issue instructions to 

CBP 15 days after publication of the 

final results of this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of administrative 

review for all shipments of SSB from 

Brazil entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication as provided by 

section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for Villares will be the rate 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by manufacturers 

or exporters not covered in this review 

but covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, 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 review, a prior review, or the 

original 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; (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 19.43 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the Notice of Final Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Stainless 

Steel Bar From Brazil, 59 FR 66914 

(December 28, 1994). These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) 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 the 

Secretary’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. 

Dated: December 15, 2014.
