SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On November 7, 2017, Commerce published the Preliminary Results.\1\ 
In the Preliminary Results, we determined that Ambica and Bhansali had 
no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Commerce gave 
interested parties an opportunity to comment on the Preliminary 
Results. We received no comments. Commerce conducted this review in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act). Commerce has exercised its discretion to toll deadlines for 
the duration of the closure of the Federal Government from January 20 
through 22, 2018. If the new deadline falls on a non-business day, in 
accordance with Commerce's practice, the deadline will become the next 
business day. The revised deadline for the final results of this review 
is now March 12, 2018.\2\

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, performing the 
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of 
the Federal Government'' (Tolling Memorandum), dated January 23, 
2018. All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding have been 
extended by 3 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order is 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

[[Page 6841]]

squares), triangles, hexagons, octagons, or other convex polygons. SSB 
includes cold-finished 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 semi-finished products, cut-to-length flat-rolled products (i.e., 
cut-to-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.
    Imports of these products are 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.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    As noted in the Preliminary Results, Commerce received a claim of 
no shipments from Ambica and Bhansali. In the Preliminary Results, 
Commerce preliminarily found that Ambica and Bhansali did not have 
reviewable entries during the POR.
    After issuing the Preliminary Results, Commerce received no 
comments from interested parties, and has not received any information 
that would cause it to alter its preliminary determination. Therefore, 
for these final results, Commerce continues to find that both Ambica 
and Bhansali had no shipments during the POR.

Assessment of Antidumping Duties

    In accordance with Commerce'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. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 
15 days after the date of publication of these final results of 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 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 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.\3\ These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    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 Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the destruction 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 terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).

    Dated: February 9, 2018.
