Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i)
and (iii)(A), Ambica certified in its
request that it did not export the subject
merchandise to the United States during
the period of investigation (‘‘POI’’) and
that it is not now and never has been
affiliated with any exporter or producer
who exported the subject merchandise
to the United States during the POI (i.e.,
July 1, 1993, through December 31,
PO 00000

1993). Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Ambica 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. Therefore, in accordance
with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’),
and 19 CFR 351.214(d), we are initiating
a new shipper review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel bar from India.
Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the standard period
of review (‘‘POR’’) in a new shipper
review based on the semiannual
anniversary month is the six-month
period immediately preceding the
semiannual anniversary month, i.e., for
the instant review, February 1 through
July 31, 2006. In accordance with 19
CFR 351.214(i), we intend to issue the
preliminary results of this review not
later than 180 days after the date on
which the review is initiated. All
provisions of 19 CFR 351.214 will apply
to Ambica throughout the duration of
this new shipper review, except for
351.214(e), which allows a new shipper
to post a single entry bond or other
types of securities in lieu of a cash
deposit. See the ‘‘Cash Deposit
Requirements’’ section below.
In its August 31, 2006, new shipper
request, DHX certified that it did not
export the subject merchandise to the
United States during the POI and that it
is not now and never has been affiliated
with any exporter or producer who
exported the subject merchandise to the
United States during the POI pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i) and (iii)(A).
However, the request did not submit
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 in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv).
Therefore, we are not initiating a new
shipper review of DHX for the
semiannual review period February 1,
2006, through July 31, 2006, because its
initial August 31, 2006, request did not
meet the Department’s regulatory
requirements by the semiannual
anniversary month deadline (i.e.,
August 31, 2006). However, the
Department will treat DHX’s September
1, 2006, request as a ‘‘new’’ request to
be considered for the next new shipper
initiation deadline (i.e., February 28,
2007) for the annual anniversary period
of February 1, 2006, through January 21,

2007. The Department will send a letter
to DHX requesting additional
documentation establishing entry date
and/or shipment date to support its
September filing.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Pursuant to Section 1632 of the
Pension Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4),
which was signed into law on August
17, 2006, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) is no longer allowing
collection of bonds or other types of
securities in lieu of a cash deposit for
new shippers for each entry of subject
merchandise during the period April 1,
2006, through June 30, 2009, except for
goods from Canada and Mexico.
Therefore, CBP must collect a cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties
on each entry of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption. We note that the
Department transmitted to CBP a set of
instructions concerning this provision
of the law where cash deposits are now
required for all new shippers of the
subject merchandise. The instructions
can viewed on the Import
Administration Web site, (https://
ia.ita.doc.gov/download/customs/

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 notice are in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of

I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service
proposes to collect socio-economic data
from commercial fishermen in Florida’s
stone crab and lobster fisheries. The
survey intends to collect economic
information about revenues, variable
and fixed costs, capital investment and
other auxiliary and demographic
information. The data gathered will be
used to describe economic performance
and to evaluate the socio-economic
impacts of future Federal regulatory
actions. The information will improve

Executive Order 12866, the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (U.S.C. 1801, et seq.),
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the
Endangered Species Act, the National
Environmental Policy Act, and other
pertinent statutes.
II. Method of Collection
The Southeast Fisheries Science
Center plans to conduct approximately
150–175 voluntary, in-person interviews
from approximately 1,000 commercial

Stainless Steel Bar from India: Notice of Initiation of

AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce has received a request for a new
shipper review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar
from India. In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.214(d), we are initiating an
antidumping new shipper review of Ambica Steels Limited.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 26, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Holland or Brandon Farlander,
AD/CVD Operations, Office 1, Import Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-
0179 or (202) 482-0182, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 21, 1995, the Department of Commerce (the
``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 August 31, 2006, the Department received a timely request from
Ambica Steels Limited (``Ambica''), for a new shipper review of the
antidumping duty order on SSB from India, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(c). The Department also received a timely request for a new
shipper review from D.H. Exports Pvt., Ltd. (``DHX'') on August 31,
2006. However, this request did not contain documentation establishing:
the date on which DHX first shipped the subject merchandise for export
to the United States; the date on which subject merchandise entered the
United States; or the volume of the shipment. On September 1, 2006, the
Department received an amended request from DHX that contained shipment
documentation, however, no documentation establishing the date of first
entry into the United States was provided.
This order has a February anniversary month and an August
semiannual anniversary month.
Initiation of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i) and (iii)(A), Ambica certified
in its request that it did not export the subject merchandise to the
United States during the period of investigation (``POI'') and that it
is not now and never has been affiliated with any exporter or producer
who exported the subject merchandise to the United States during the
POI (i.e., July 1, 1993, through December 31, 1993). Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Ambica 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. Therefore,
in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act''), and 19 CFR 351.214(d), we are initiating a new
shipper review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar
from India.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(g)(1)(i)(B), the standard period of
review (``POR'') in a new shipper review based on the semiannual
anniversary month is the six-month period immediately preceding the
semiannual anniversary month, i.e., for the instant review, February 1
through July 31, 2006. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.214(i), we intend
to issue the preliminary results of this review not later than 180 days
after the date on which the review is initiated. All provisions of 19
CFR 351.214 will apply to Ambica throughout the duration of this new
shipper review, except for 351.214(e), which allows a new shipper to
post a single entry bond or other types of securities in lieu of a cash
deposit. See the ``Cash Deposit Requirements'' section below.
In its August 31, 2006, new shipper request, DHX certified that it
did not export the subject merchandise to the United States during the
POI and that it is not now and never has been affiliated with any
exporter or producer who exported the subject merchandise to the United
States during the POI pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i) and (iii)(A).
However, the request did not submit 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 in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iv).
Therefore, we are not initiating a new shipper review of DHX for
the semiannual review period February 1, 2006, through July 31, 2006,
because its initial August 31, 2006, request did not meet the
Department's regulatory requirements by the semiannual anniversary
month deadline (i.e., August 31, 2006). However, the Department will
treat DHX's September 1, 2006, request as a ``new'' request to be
considered for the next new shipper initiation deadline (i.e., February
28, 2007) for the annual anniversary period of February 1, 2006,
through January 21,
[[Page 56106]]
2007. The Department will send a letter to DHX requesting additional
documentation establishing entry date and/or shipment date to support
its September filing.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Pursuant to Section 1632 of the Pension Protection Act of 2006
(H.R. 4), which was signed into law on August 17, 2006, U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (``CBP'') is no longer allowing collection of
bonds or other types of securities in lieu of a cash deposit for new
shippers for each entry of subject merchandise during the period April
1, 2006, through June 30, 2009, except for goods from Canada and
Mexico. Therefore, CBP must collect a cash deposit of estimated
antidumping duties on each entry of subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption. We note that the Department
transmitted to CBP a set of instructions concerning this provision of
the law where cash deposits are now required for all new shippers of
the subject merchandise. The instructions can viewed on the Import
Administration Web site, (https://ia.ita.doc.gov/download/customs/
suspension-of-bonding-privilege-for-new-shippers.pdf).
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 notice are in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(d).
Dated: September 20, 2006.
