establishments in the same industries
and same host countries as the foreign
affiliates.
Background
CIPSEA (Pub. L. 107–347, Title V) and
the International Investment and Trade
in Services Survey Act (Pub. L. 94–472,
22 United States Code (U.S.C.) 3101–
3108) allow BEA and BLS to share
certain business data for exclusively
statistical purposes. Section 524(d) of
the CIPSEA requires a Federal Register
notice announcing the intent to share
data (allowing 60 days for public
comment), since BEA respondents were
required by law to report the data.
Section 524(d) also requires us to
provide information about the terms of
the agreement for data sharing. For
purposes of this notice, BEA has
decided to group these terms by three
categories.
The categories are:
• Shared data.
• Statistical purposes for the shared
data.
• Data access and confidentiality.
Title 22, U.S.C. 3104 protects the
confidentiality of the data to be
provided by BEA to BLS. The data may
be seen only by persons sworn to
uphold the confidentiality of the
information. Access to the shared data
will be restricted to specifically
authorized personnel and will be
provided for statistical purposes only.
Any results of this research are subject
to BEA disclosure protection. All BLS
employees with access to these data will
become BEA Special Sworn
Employees—meaning that they, under
penalty of law, must uphold the data’s
confidentiality.
Shared Data
BEA proposes to provide BLS with
data from its surveys of U.S. direct
investment abroad, foreign direct
investment in the United States, and
U.S. international services transactions.
BLS will use these data for statistical
purposes exclusively.

Statistical Purposes for the Shared Data
Data collected in BEA’s surveys of
direct investment are used to develop
estimates of the financing and
operations of U.S. parent companies,
their foreign affiliates, and U.S. affiliates
of foreign companies, and estimates of
transactions between parents and
affiliates. Data collected in BEA’s
surveys of U.S. international services
transactions are used to develop
estimates of services transactions
between U.S. persons (in a broad legal
sense, including companies) and foreign
persons. These estimates are published
in the Survey of Current Business, BEA’s
monthly journal; in other BEA
publications; and on BEA’s Web site at
https://www.bea.gov/. All data are
collected under sections 3101–3108, of
Title 22, U.S.C.
The shared data will be used for
several exclusively statistical purposes
by both agencies, such as the production
of price indexes for imported and
exported services and the making of
international comparisons between the
hourly compensation costs at the foreign
affiliates of U.S. multinational
companies and the average costs for

SUMMARY: On September 12, 2007, the
Department of Commerce published the
preliminary results of an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on stainless steel wire rods from India
and a notice of intent to rescind the
antidumping duty administrative review
in part. The administrative review
currently covers one manufacturer/
exporter, Mukand Ltd., and the review
period is December 1, 2005, through

intent to rescind the review with respect
to the manufacturer/exporter Sunflag
Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., in our preliminary
results.We have received no comments
from interested parties on our
preliminary results. We have made no
changes to our calculations for the final
results of review and, accordingly, have
found that Mukand Ltd. made sales at
less than normal value in the U.S.
market. The final weighted–average
dumping margin for this company is
listed below in the section entitled
‘‘Final Results of the Review.’’ In
addition, we have rescinded the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 12, 2007, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on stainless
steel wire rods from India and a notice
of intent to rescind the antidumping
duty administrative review in part. See
Stainless Steel Wire Rods from India:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review and Notice
of Intent to Rescind Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review in Part, 72 FR
52079 (September 12, 2007). We invited
interested parties to comment on the
preliminary results but received no
comments from the parties.
Rescission of Review in Part
In the preliminary results of review,
we stated our intent to rescind the
administrative review with respect to
sales of stainless steel wire rods (wire
rods) made by Sunflag Iron & Steel Co.,
Ltd. (Sunflag), during the period of
review because we had initiated a new–
shipper review of these sales. See
Stainless Steel Wire Rod from India:
Notice of Initiation of Antidumping
Duty New–Shipper Review, 72 FR 13088
(March 20, 2007). We thus preliminarily
determined that it was appropriate to
rescind the administrative review with
respect to Sunflag pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(j), which permits a rescission
when there are multiple reviews of the
sales of a company.
We received no comments from
interested parties concerning our intent
to rescind. Because Sunflag’s sales are
subject to a new–shipper review, we are
rescinding the administrative review
with respect to Sunflag pursuant to 19
CFR 351.214(j).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise under review is
wire rods, which are hot–rolled or hot–
rolled annealed and/or pickled rounds,
squares, octagons, hexagons or other
shapes, in coils. Wire rods are made of
alloy steels containing, by weight, 1.2
percent or less of carbon and 10.5

percent or more of chromium, with or
without other elements. These products
are only manufactured by hot–rolling
and are normally sold in coiled form,
and are of solid cross section. The
majority of wire rods sold in the United
States are round in cross-section shape,
annealed, and pickled. The most
common size is 5.5 millimeters in
diameter.
The wire rods subject to this order are
currently classifiable under subheadings
7221.00.0005, 7221.00.0015,
7221.00.0030, 7221.00.0045, and
7221.00.0075 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
merchandise subject to the order is
dispositive of whether the merchandise
is covered by the order.
No Changes Since the Preliminary
Results
Because the Department received no
comments on the preliminary results of
review and it finds no other basis for
changes in these results, it has made no
changes in the final results from the
preliminary results of review.
Accordingly, we find that Mukand Ltd.
(Mukand) made sales at less than
normal value in the U.S. market during
the period of review.

Final Results of the Review
We determine that the weighted–
average dumping margin on Mukand’s
sales of stainless steel wire rods from
India for the period December 1, 2005,
through November 30, 2006, is 11.56
percent.
Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries. We intend to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of these final results of
review. In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we have calculated a
customer/importer–specific, per–unit
amount for entries of subject
merchandise during the period of
review.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. See Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This
clarification applies to period–of-review
entries of subject merchandise produced
by Mukand where it did not know that
its merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all–others rate if there is
no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.
Cash–Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of
this 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 date of
publication, consistent with section
751(a)(1) of the Act: (1) the cash–deposit
rate for Mukand will be 11.56 percent;
(2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash–deposit rate will continue to be
the company–specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original
less–than-fair–value investigation but
the manufacturer is, the cash–deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recent period for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; and (4) the cash–
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be the ‘‘all
others’’ rate of 48.80 percent, which is
the ‘‘all others’’ rate established in the
less–than-fair–value investigation. See
Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Certain Stainless Steel
Wire Rods from India, 58 FR 54110,
(October 20, 1993). These cash–deposit
rates shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of
proprietary information disclosed under
such an order in accordance with 19
CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely notification
of the return or destruction of
administrative–protective-order
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
