Stainless Steel Bar from Germany;
Final Results of the Sunset Review of
the Antidumping Duty Order
Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) has conducted a full
sunset review of the antidumping duty
order on stainless steel bar (‘‘SSB’’) from
Germany pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’). As a result of this review, the
Department finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on SSB from
Germany would likely lead to the
continuation or recurrence of dumping.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 5, 2007.

Background
On May 30, 2007, the Department
published a notice of preliminary
results of the full sunset review of the
antidumping duty order on SSB from
Germany pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Act. See Stainless Steel Bar From
Germany; Preliminary Results of the
Sunset Review of Antidumping Duty
Order, 72 FR 29970 (May 30, 2007), as
corrected in 72 FR 31660 (June 7, 2007)
(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). We provided
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on our Preliminary Results.
The Department received a case brief
from BGH Edelstahl Freital GmbH, BGH
Edelstahl Lippendorf GmbH, BGH
Edelstahl Lugau GmbH, and BGH
Edelstahl Siegen GmbH (collectively,
‘‘BGH’’) on June 29, 2007, and a rebuttal
brief from Carpenter Technology Corp.;
North American Stainless; Crucible
Specialty Metals Division of Crucible
Materials Corp.; Electralloy; Outokumpu
Stainless Bar, Inc.; Universal Stainless &
Alloy Products, Inc.; and Valbruna
Slater Stainless, Inc. (collectively, ‘‘the
domestic interested parties’’) on July 5,
2007. A hearing was not held because
none was requested.
Scope of the Order
For the purposes of this order, the
term ‘‘stainless steel bar’’ includes
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:33 Oct 04, 2007
Jkt 214001
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
review 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 the
order is dispositive.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this sunset review
are addressed in the ‘‘Issues and
Decision Memorandum for the Sunset
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order

SUMMARY: We, NMFS, have received a
petition to list bocaccio (Sebastes
paucispinis), canary rockfish (S.
pinniger), yelloweye rockfish (S.
ruberrimus), greenstripe rockfish (S.
elongatus) and redstripe rockfish (S.
proriger) as endangered or threatened
species under the Endangered Species
Act (ESA). We find that the petition
does not present substantial scientific or
commercial information indicating that
the petitioned actions may be
warranted.
Copies of the petition and
related materials are available on the
Internet at https://www.nwr.noaa.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
Background
On April 9, 2007, we received a
petition from Mr. Sam Wright (Olympia,
Washington) to list Distinct Population
Segments (DPSs) of bocaccio, canary
rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, greenstripe
rockfish, and redstripe rockfish in Puget
Sound as endangered or threatened
species under the ESA. Copies of this
petition are available from NMFS (see

ESA Statutory and Policy Provisions
Section 4(b)(3) of the ESA contains
provisions concerning petitions from
interested persons requesting the
Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to
list species under the ESA (16 U.S.C.
1533(b)(3)(A)). Section 4(b)(3)(A)
requires that, to the maximum extent
practicable, within 90 days after
receiving such a petition, the Secretary
make a finding whether the petition
presents substantial scientific or
commercial information indicating that
the petitioned action may be warranted.
Our ESA implementing regulations
define Asubstantial information@ as the
amount of information that would lead
a reasonable person to believe that the
measure proposed in the petition may
be warranted. In evaluating a petitioned
action, the Secretary considers whether
the petition contains a detailed narrative
justification for the recommended
measure, including: past and present
numbers and distribution of the species
involved, and any threats faced by the
species (50 CFR 424.14(b)(2)(ii)); and
information regarding the status of the
species throughout all or a significant
portion of its range (50 CFR
424.14(b)(2)(iii)). In addition to the
information presented in a petition, we
review other data and publications
readily available to our scientists (i.e.,
currently within agency files) to
determine whether it is in general
agreement with the information
presented in the petition.
Under the ESA, a listing
determination may address a species,
subspecies, or a DPS of any vertebrate
species which interbreeds when mature
(16 U.S.C. 1532(15)). On February 7,
1996, we and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service adopted a joint policy to clarify
the agencies’ interpretation of the
phrase ‘‘Distinct population segment of
any species of vertebrate fish or
wildlife’’ (ESA section 3(15)) for the
purposes of listing, delisting, and
reclassifying a species under the ESA
(51 FR 4722). The joint DPS policy
established two criteria that must be met
for a population or group of populations
to be considered a DPS: (1) The
population segment must be discrete in
relation to the remainder of the species
(or subspecies) to which it belongs; and
(2) the population segment must be
significant to the remainder of the
species (or subspecies) to which it
belongs. A population segment may be
considered discrete if it satisfies either
one of the following conditions: (1) It is
markedly separated from other
populations of the same biological taxon
as a consequence of physical,
physiological, ecological, or behavioral
