In the Amended Shrimp Finals/Orders, the Department noted that the scope of the antidumping duty orders had been amended to exclude canned warmwater shrimp and prawns to reflect the International Trade Commission’s finding that a domestic industry in the United States is not materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of canned warmwater shrimp and prawns from the countries in question. Subsequent to the issuance of the shrimp orders, we noticed that the first sentence of the first paragraph of the scope language of each order might suggest that the warmwater shrimp subject to the order includes warmwater shrimp in non–frozen form. Therefore, we are amending the scope language of the orders by moving the word ‘‘frozen’’ to be before ‘‘warmwater shrimp and prawns’’ in the first sentence of the first paragraph of the scope of each order to clarify that only frozen warmwater shrimp and prawns are subject to the order. As a result, the first paragraph of the scope of each order reads as follows: The scope of this order includes certain frozen warmwater shrimp and prawns, whether wild–caught (ocean harvested) or farm–raised (produced by aquaculture), head–on or head–off, shell–on or peeled, tail–on or tail–off, deveined or not deveined, cooked or raw, or otherwise processed in frozen form. We are thus amending the antidumping duty orders of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil, Ecuador, India, Thailand, the People’s Republic of China and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, as noted above. These amended orders are issued and published in accordance with section 736(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. mstockstill on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES Dated: January 16, 2007. Stephen J.

See Initiation of Five–Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 71 FR 10476 (March 1, 2006). As a result of our review, we found that revocation of the antidumping duty orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping and we notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail were the orders to be revoked. See Stainless Steel Bar from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain; Final Results of the Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders, 71 FR 38372 (July 6, 2006). On December 4, 2006, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on SSB from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Imports covered by these orders are shipments of SSB.

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 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), 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.

Commerce (the Department) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) 
that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on stainless steel bar 
from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and of material injury to an 
industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time, the 
Department is publishing notice of the continuation of these 
antidumping duty orders.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 23, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 1, 2006, the Department initiated the second sunset 
reviews of the antidumping duty orders on stainless steel bar (SSB) 
from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain pursuant to section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). See Initiation of Five-Year 
(``Sunset'') Reviews, 71 FR 10476 (March 1, 2006).
    As a result of our review, we found that revocation of the 
antidumping duty orders would be likely to lead to continuation or 
recurrence of dumping and we notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 
margins likely to prevail were the orders to be revoked. See Stainless 
Steel Bar from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain; Final Results of the 
Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders, 71 FR 38372 
(July 6, 2006). On December 4, 2006, the ITC determined, pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the antidumping duty 
orders on SSB from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain would be likely to 
lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in 
the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. See Stainless 
Steel Bar From Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain, 72 FR 1243 (January 10, 
2007), and ITC Publication 3895 (January 2007) entitled Stainless Steel 
Bar from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-
678, 679, 681 and 682 (Second Review).

Scope of the Orders

    Imports covered by these orders are shipments of 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 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 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), 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 SSB subject to these orders 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, 
our written description of the scope of these orders is dispositive.

Determination

    As a result of the determinations by the Department and ITC that 
revocation of these antidumping duty orders would be likely to lead to 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and material injury to an 
industry in the United States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the 
Act, the Department hereby orders the continuation of the antidumping 
duty orders on stainless steel bar from Brazil, India, Japan, and 
Spain.

antidumping duty cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of
