Stainless Steel Bar From India: Final Results of Antidumping Duty

This review covers two producers or exporters of the subject 
merchandise: Ambica Steels Limited (Ambica), and Bhansali Bright Bars

subject merchandise during the POR and that Ambica did have an entry of

Background

    Following the Preliminary Results,\1\ we received a timely filed 
case brief from 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. (the petitioners) and a timely filed rebuttal 
brief from Ambica.\2\

(Petitioners' CB) dated March 31, 2017; see also, Letter from Ambica 
to the Department, ``Stainless Steel Bar from India: Rebuttal 
Brief,'' dated April 7, 2017 (Ambica's RB).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is SSB. SSB subject to the 
order is currently classifiable under subheadings 7222.10.00, 
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. A full description of the scope of the 
order is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\3\

Analysis of Comments

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in

is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues raised is 
attached to this notice as Appendix I. The Issues and Decision

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 and to all parties in the Central Records 
Unit, room B-8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In 
addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can 
be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html.

Final Determination of No Shipments (Bhansali)

    As stated in the Preliminary Results, we received a timely claim 
from Bhansali reporting that it had no shipments of the subject 
merchandise to the United States during the POR and preliminarily 
determined that it had no shipments during the POR. For the final 
results, we continue to find that Bhansali had no shipments of subject 
merchandise to the United States during the POR.

Final Results of Review (Ambica)

    As stated in the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily 
found that Ambica had one suspended entry of subject merchandise during 
this POR for which it had knowledge of its sale to an unaffiliated U.S. 
customer. For the final results, the Department finds that Ambica had 
one suspended entry of subject merchandise during the POR. However, as 
stated in the Preliminary Results, the Department inadvertently 
included the sales associated with this 2015-16 entry of subject 
merchandise in its analysis for the 2014-15 administrative review. 
Therefore, we have determined to apply the importer-specific assessment 
rate calculated for Ambica in the 2014-15 review to this suspended 
entry in the instant review. For all other entries of subject 
merchandise attributed to Ambica during the instant POR, Ambica has 
reasonably explained that it had no knowledge of these entries into the 
United States or the sales associated with these entries. Accordingly, 
these entries will be liquidated at the all-others rate. For additional 
information and analysis, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum; see 
also the Preliminary Analysis Memorandum.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Because of the proprietary nature of the entry documents, 
see the Memorandum from Joseph Shuler, International Trade Analyst 
to Alex Villanueva, Director, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations Training and Professional Development Unit, ``Stainless 
Steel Bar from India: Preliminary Analysis Memorandum,'' dated 
February 22, 2017 (Preliminary Analysis Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment of Antidumping Duties

    For the single suspended entry attributable to Ambica, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate this entry at the importer-specific 
assessment rate calculated in the 2014-15 administrative review.
    In accordance with the Department's practice, for entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR for which Ambica or Bhansali did not 
know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate if there 
is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the 
transaction.

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 publication date of the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930: (1) The cash deposit rate for 
Ambica and Bhansali will remain unchanged from the rate assigned to 
each company in the completed segment for the most recent period for 
each company; (2) for other producers and exporters covered in a prior 
segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be 
the company-specific rate published for the completed segment for the 
most recent period of this proceeding in which that producer or 
exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in 
this review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the 
producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established 
for the completed segment for the most recent period of this proceeding 
for the producer of subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate 
for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 12.45 percent, 
the all-others rate established in the investigation.\5\ These cash 
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 review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a 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 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 the terms of an APO is a violation 
subject to sanction.
    These final results of administrative review are issued and 
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 
Act.

    Dated: June 6, 2017.
