later than 120 days after the date of

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, the Department
shall determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212. The Department intends to
issue assessment instructions for the
companies subject to this review to CBP
15 days after the date of publication of
the final results of this review.
We will calculate importer–specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based
Percent on the ratio of the total amount of
Margin antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales to the total entered
value of the examined sales for that
33.87 importer. We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review if any
importer–specific assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is above de minimis (i.e., at or
above 0.50 percent). Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties any entries for which the
assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less
than 0.50 percent). See 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1). The final results of this
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003) (Assessment
Policy Notice). This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by any
company included in the final results of
review for which the reviewed company
did not know that the merchandise it
sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the ‘‘All
Others’’ rate if there is no rate for the
intermediary involved in the
transaction. See Assessment Policy
Notice for a full discussion of this
clarification.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\30MRN1.SGM
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 company 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 reviewed or
investigated companies not
participating in this review, 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, or the
original less–than-fair–value
investigation (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 4.48
percent, the ‘‘All Others’’ rate made
effective by the LTFV investigation.
These requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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.
This administrative review and notice
are published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.221.

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and

Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution

telephone: (202) 482–3853 or (202) 482–
0182, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 21, 1995, the Department
of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published
in the Federal Register the antidumping
duty order on stainless steel bar (‘‘SSB’’)
from India. See Antidumping Duty
Orders: Stainless Steel Bar form Brazil,
India and Japan, 60 FR 9661 (February
21, 1995).
On February 28, 2007, the Department
received a timely request from Sunflag
Iron & Steel Co. Ltd. (‘‘Sunflag’’), for a
new shipper review of the antidumping
duty order on SSB from India, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(c).
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i),
Sunflag certified in its request that it did
not export the subject merchandise to
the United States during the period of
investigation (‘‘POI’’). In addition,
pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A),
Sunflag certified that it is not currently
affiliated and never has been affiliated
with any exporter or producer who
exported the subject merchandise to the
United States during the POI (July 1,
1993, through December 31, 1993),
including those not individually
examined during the investigation.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv),
Sunflag also submitted documentation
establishing the date on which its
stainless steel bar was first shipped for
export to the United States, the volume
of that shipment, and the date of the
first sale to an unaffiliated customer in
the United States.
The Department conducted a query of
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(‘‘CBP’’) database to confirm that
Sunflag’s shipment of subject
merchandise had entered the United
States for consumption and has been
suspended for antidumping duties. The
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:22 Mar 29, 2007 Jkt 211001
Department also corroborated Sunflag’s
assertion that it made no subsequent
shipments to the United States by
reviewing CBP data.
Initiation of Review
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.214(d), we find that the request
submitted by Sunflag meets the
threshold requirements for initiation of
a new shipper review. See
Memorandum to the File from Devta
Ohri, International Trade Compliance
Analyst, through Susan Kuhbach,
Senior Office Director, Office 1: New
Shipper Review Initiation Checklist,
dated March 23, 2007. Accordingly, we
are initiating a new shipper review of
the antidumping duty order on stainless
steel bar from India.
This review covers the period
February 1, 2006 through January 31,
2007. We intend to issue the
preliminary results of this review no
later than 180 days after the date on
which this review is initiated, and the
final results within 90 days after the
date on which we issue the preliminary
results. See Section 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of
the Act.
Cash Deposit Requirements
On August 17, 2006, the Pension
Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4) was
signed into law. Section 1632 of H.R. 4
temporarily suspends the authority of
the Department to instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection to collect a bond
or other security in lieu of a cash
deposit in new shipper reviews during
the period April 1, 2006 through June
30, 2009. Therefore, the posting of a
bond or other security under section
751(a)(2)(B)(iii) of the Act in lieu of a
cash deposit is not available in this case.
Importers of subject merchandise
manufactured and exported by Sunflag
must continue to pay a cash deposit of
estimated antidumping duties on each
entry of subject merchandise at the
current all–others rate of 12.45 percent.
See Notice of Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Stainless
Steel Bar from India, 59 FR 66915
(December 28, 1994).
Interested parties may submit
applications for disclosure of business
proprietary information under
administrative protective order in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and
351.306.
This initiation and this notice are
issued and published in accordance
with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and
sections 351.214(d) and 351.221(c)(1)(i)
of the Department’s regulations.

articles of cheese subject to an in–quota
rate of duty. The appendix to this notice
lists the country, the subsidy program or
programs, and the gross and net
amounts of each subsidy for which
information is currently available. The
Department will incorporate additional
programs which are found to constitute
subsidies, and additional information
on the subsidy programs listed, as the
information is developed.
The Department encourages any
person having information on foreign
government subsidy programs which
benefit articles of cheese subject to an
in–quota rate of duty to submit such
information in writing to the Assistant
