statements indicate that it meets the
definition of a ‘‘sick’’ company under
the Sick Industrial Companies Act of
India. It is the Department’s policy to
not use the financial statements of a
‘‘sick’’ company for calculating any of
the surrogate financial ratios. See Notice
of Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value and Negative Final
Determination of Critical
Circumstances: Certain Color Television
Receivers From the People’s Republic of
China, 69 FR 20594 (April 16, 2004).
Therefore, we are not using Hindustan’s
financial statements in our calculations.
With respect to Gujarat, we find that
production of the comparable
merchandise, hydrogen peroxide,
comprises only 1.3 percent by volume of
the company’s total production. The
Department has not had sufficient time
to determine whether the balance of
Gujarat’s production is of merchandise
that would also be considered
comparable to persulfates. For these
preliminary results, therefore, we have
not used Gujarat’s financial statements
in our calculation of surrogate financial
ratios for the respondent.
For packing materials, we used the
per–kilogram values obtained from the
MSFTI and made adjustments to
account for freight costs incurred
between the suppliers and the factory.
To value foreign brokerage and
handling, we used an average of the
brokerage and handling data reported in
Essar Steel’s February 28, 2005, public
version response submitted in the 2003–
2004 antidumping duty administrative
review of Hot–Rolled Carbon Steel Flat
Products from India and Pidilite
Industries’ March 9, 2004, public
version response submitted in the
antidumping duty investigation of
Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from India.
To value truck freight, we used the
freight rates published by Indian Freight
Exchange available at https://
www.infreight.com. To value marine
insurance, we used a price quote
obtained from RJG Consultants and
available at https://
www.rjgconstultants.com.
Where necessary, we adjusted the
surrogate values to reflect inflation/
deflation using the Indian Wholesale
Price Index (WPI) as published on the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) website,
available at https://www.rbi.org.in. See
FOP Memo.
Preliminary Results of Review

We will disclose the calculations used
in our analysis to parties to this
proceeding within five days of the
publication date of this notice. See 19
CFR § 351.224(b). Interested parties are
invited to comment on the preliminary
results. Interested parties may submit
case briefs within 30 days of the date of
publication of this notice. Rebuttal
briefs, limited to issues raised in the
case briefs, may be filed no later than 37
days after the date of publication of this
notice. Parties who submit arguments
are requested to submit with each
argument a statement of the issue, a
brief summary of the argument, and a
table of authorities. Further, we would
appreciate it if parties submitting
written comments provided an
additional copy of the public version of
any such comments on a diskette. Any
interested party may request a hearing
within 30 days of publication of this
notice. See 19 CFR 351.310(c). If
requested, a hearing will be held 44
days after the publication of this notice
or the first workday thereafter. The
Department will publish a notice of the
final results of this administrative
review, which will include the results of
its analysis of issues raised in any
written comments or hearing, within
120 days from publication of this notice.
Assessment
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department calculated an assessment
rate for each importer of subject
merchandise. Within 15 days of the
completion of this review, the
Department will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise. We have
calculated each importer’s duty–
assessment rate based on the ratio of the
total amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales to the
total quantity of sales examined. Where
the assessment rate is above de minimis,
the importer–specific rate will be
assessed uniformly on all entries made
during the POR.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit rates will
be effective upon publication of the
final results for all shipments of
persulfates from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) for Shanghai AJ,

which has a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the company–
specific rate established in the final
results of the review; (2) the cash
deposit rates for any other companies
that have separate rates established in
the investigation or a previous
administrative review of this case, but
were not reviewed in this proceeding,
will not change; (3) for all other PRC
exporters, the cash deposit rate will be
the PRC rate, 119.02 percent, the PRC–
wide rate established in the less than
fair value investigation; and (4) for non–
PRC exporters of subject merchandise
from the PRC, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
supplier of that exporter. These deposit
rates, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until publication of the final
results of the next administrative
review.
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 the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUMMARY: On April 7, 2005, the
Department of Commerce published the
preliminary results of the second
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel bar from Italy. The period of

United States from one producer/
exporter. Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we conclude that
the final results do not differ from the
preliminary results of review, in which
we found that the respondent in this
review did not make shipments of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the period of review.
Therefore, we are rescinding the
administrative review. In addition, we
continue to find that UGITECH S.A. is
the successor–in-interest to Ugine–
Savoie Imphy S.A. for purposes of
determining antidumping duty liability.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Since the publication of the
preliminary results of this review (see
Stainless Steel Bar from Italy:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review and
Preliminary Rescission of Review, 70 FR
17656 (April 7, 2005) (‘‘Preliminary
Results’’)), the following events have
occurred:
We invited interested parties to
comment on the preliminary results of
this review. On May 9, 2005, we
received a case brief from the Carpenter
Technology Corp., Crucible Specialty
Metals, Electralloy Corp., Empire
Specialty Steel, Inc., Slater Steels Corp.,
and the United Steelworkers of
America, AFL–CIO/CLC (collectively,
‘‘the petitioners’’). On May 20, 2005, we
received a rebuttal brief from UGITECH
S.A. (‘‘UGITECH’’) (formerly known as
Ugine Savoie–Imphy S.A.), an Italian
exporter/producer of the subject
merchandise. At the request of the
petitioners, the Department held a
public hearing on May 31, 2005.
Scope of the Order
For purposes of this order, the term
‘‘stainless steel bar’’ includes 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 squares), triangles,
hexagons, octagons, or other convex
polygons. Stainless steel bar includes
cold–finished stainless steel bars that
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:02 Aug 09, 2005
Jkt 205001
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 length flat–rolled
products (i.e., cut 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), products that have been cut
from stainless steel sheet, strip or plate,
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.
The stainless steel bar subject to this
order is currently classifiable under
subheadings 7222.11.00.05,
7222.11.00.50, 7222.19.00.05,
7222.19.00.50, 7222.20.00.05,
7222.20.00.45, 7222.20.00.75, and
7222.30.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
The issue raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs by parties to this review
is addressed in the ‘‘Issues and Decision
Memorandum for the Final Results in
the Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review of Stainless Steel Bar from Italy’’
from Barbara E. Tillman, Acting Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, to Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Import
Administration, dated August 5, 2005
(‘‘Decision Memorandum’’), which is
hereby adopted by this notice. Attached

Rescission of Administrative Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3), and consistent with the
Preliminary Results, we are rescinding
this review with respect to UGITECH,
which reported that it made no
shipments of the subject merchandise to
the United States during the POR. As
stated in the Preliminary Results, we
examined shipment data furnished by
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(‘‘CBP’’) and analyzed UGITECH’s
quantity and value of sales at
verification. See Memorandum to the
File, ‘‘Verification of UGITECH S.A.’s
No–Shipment Claim,’’ (January 13,
2004) (‘‘UGITECH VR’’). Based on this
information, and for the reasons set
forth in the Decision Memorandum, we
are satisfied that there were no U.S.
shipments of subject merchandise from
UGITECH during the POR.
Successor–in-Interest and Final Results
of Review
Consistent with the Preliminary
Results, we find that UGITECH is the
successor–in-interest to Ugine–Savoie
Imphy S.A. for antidumping duty cash
deposit purposes. Therefore, UGITECH
will be assigned the same cash deposit
rate with respect to the subject
merchandise as the predecessor
company, Ugine–Savoie Imphy S.A.
(i.e., 33.00 percent). See Stainless Steel
Bar from Italy: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, 69 FR 32984 (June 14, 2004.
Cash Deposit
The cash deposit requirement for this
review will be effective upon
publication of this notice of final results
of review for all shipments of the
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date in the Federal Register. This cash
deposit rate shall remain in effect until
publication of the final results of the
next administrative review involving
UGITECH. We will instruct CBP
accordingly.
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.

Background
On April 6, 2005, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published
the preliminary results of the second
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel bar from France (70 FR 17411)
(Preliminary Results). We invited parties
to comment on the Preliminary Results.
On May 20 and 27, 2005, the parties
submitted case and rebuttal briefs,
respectively. We have conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’).
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that UGITECH is the
successor–in-interest to Ugine–Savoie
Imphy S.A. Neither party objected to
our preliminary finding. Therefore, for
the final results, we continue to find
that UGITECH is the successor–ininterest to Ugine–Savoie Imphy S.A. for
antidumping duty cash deposit
purposes. We will notify U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP)
accordingly.
Scope of the Order
For purposes of this order, the term

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Since the publication of the preliminary results of this review
(see Stainless Steel Bar from Italy: Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review and Preliminary Rescission of Review, 70 FR
17656 (April 7, 2005) (``Preliminary Results'')), the following events
have occurred:
We invited interested parties to comment on the preliminary results
of this review. On May 9, 2005, we received a case brief from the
Carpenter Technology Corp., Crucible Specialty Metals, Electralloy
Corp., Empire Specialty Steel, Inc., Slater Steels Corp., and the
United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO/CLC (collectively, ``the
petitioners''). On May 20, 2005, we received a rebuttal brief from
UGITECH S.A. (``UGITECH'') (formerly known as Ugine Savoie-Imphy S.A.),
an Italian exporter/producer of the subject merchandise. At the request
of the petitioners, the Department held a public hearing on May 31,
2005.
Scope of the Order
For purposes of this order, the term ``stainless steel bar''
includes 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 squares), triangles, hexagons, octagons, or other
convex polygons. Stainless steel bar includes cold-finished stainless
steel bars 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 length flat-rolled products (i.e.,
cut 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), products that have been cut from stainless
steel sheet, strip or plate, 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.
The stainless steel bar subject to this order is currently
classifiable under subheadings 7222.11.00.05, 7222.11.00.50,
7222.19.00.05, 7222.19.00.50, 7222.20.00.05, 7222.20.00.45,

Rescission of Administrative Review
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), and consistent with the
Preliminary Results, we are rescinding this review with respect to
UGITECH, which reported that it made no shipments of the subject
merchandise to the United States during the POR. As stated in the
Preliminary Results, we examined shipment data furnished by U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') and analyzed UGITECH's quantity
and value of sales at verification. See Memorandum to the File,
``Verification of UGITECH S.A.'s No-Shipment Claim,'' (January 13,
2004) (``UGITECH VR''). Based on this information, and for the reasons
set forth in the Decision Memorandum, we are satisfied that there were
no U.S. shipments of subject merchandise from UGITECH during the POR.
Successor-in-Interest and Final Results of Review
Consistent with the Preliminary Results, we find that UGITECH is
the successor-in-interest to Ugine-Savoie Imphy S.A. for antidumping
duty cash deposit purposes. Therefore, UGITECH will be assigned the
same cash deposit rate with respect to the subject merchandise as the
predecessor company, Ugine-Savoie Imphy S.A. (i.e., 33.00 percent). See

The cash deposit requirement for this review will be effective upon
publication of this notice of final results of review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date in the Federal Register.
This cash deposit rate shall remain in effect until publication of the
final results of the next administrative review involving UGITECH. We

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.

Notification Regarding APOs
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (``APOs'') of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 violation which is subject to sanction.
These results of administrative review and notice are published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 4, 2005.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
