SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Scope of the Orders The merchandise subject to these AD and CVD orders is ‘‘stainless steel bar,’’ which 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 hotrolled 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 semifinished 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:02 Feb 06, 2008 Jkt 214001 convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the orders is dispositive.

See Initiation of Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 72 FR 4689 (February 1, 2007). As a result of its sunset reviews of these orders, the Department found that revocation of the AD orders would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and that revocation of the CVD order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy. See Stainless Steel Bar from France, Italy, South Korea and the United Kingdom; Final Results of the Expedited Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders, 72 FR 30772 (June 4, 2007); Stainless Steel Bar from Germany; Final Results of the Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 72 FR 56985 (October 5, 2007); Stainless Steel Bar From Italy: Final Results of Expedited Five-Year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review of the Countervailing Duty Order, 72 FR 31288 (June 6, 2007). The Department notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail were the AD orders to be revoked and the level of subsidy likely to prevail were the CVD order to be revoked. On January 31, 2008, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation of these orders would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 7259 States within a reasonably foreseeable time.

Determination As a result of the determination by the ITC that revocation of these orders is not likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department, pursuant to section 751(d) of the Act, is revoking the AD orders on SSB from France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, and the CVD order on SSB from Italy. Pursuant to section 751(d) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of revocation is March 7, 2007 (AD Orders) and March 8, 2007 (CVD Order). The Department will notify U.S. Customs and Border Protection to terminate suspension of liquidation and collection of cash deposits on entries of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse on or after March 7, 2007 (AD Orders) and March 8, 2007 (CVD Order). Entries of subject merchandise prior to the effective date of revocation will continue to be subject to suspension of liquidation and antidumping and countervailing duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete any pending administrative reviews of these orders and will conduct administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed requests for review.

SUMMARY: On February 1, 2007, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') initiated sunset reviews of the antidumping duty (``AD'') 
orders on stainless steel bar (``SSB'') from France, Germany, Italy, 
South Korea, and the United Kingdom; and the countervailing duty 
(``CVD'') order on SSB from Italy. See Initiation of Five-Year 
(``Sunset'') Reviews, 72 FR 4689 (February 1, 2007). Pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), the 
International Trade Commission (``ITC'') determined that revocation of 
these orders would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence 
of material injury to an industry in the United States within a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Scope of the Orders

    The merchandise subject to these AD and CVD orders is ``stainless 
steel bar,'' which 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 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 orders is dispositive.

Background

    On March 7, 2002, the Department issued the AD orders on SSB from 
France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, and the United Kingdom. See 
Antidumping Duty Order: Stainless Steel Bar From France, 67 FR 10385 
(March 7, 2002); Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less 
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Stainless Steel Bar From 
Germany, 67 FR 10382 (March 7, 2002); Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: 
Stainless Steel Bar From Italy, 67 FR 10384 (March 7, 2002); 
Antidumping Duty Order: Stainless Steel Bar From Korea, 67 FR 10381 
(March 7, 2002); Antidumping Duty Order: Stainless Steel Bar From the 
United Kingdom, 67 FR 10381 (March 7, 2002). On March 8, 2002, the 
Department issued the CVD order on SSB from Italy. See Countervailing 
Duty Order: Stainless Steel Bar From Italy, 67 FR 10670 (March 8, 
2002).
    On February 1, 2007, the Department initiated, and the ITC 
instituted, sunset reviews of the AD orders on SSB from France, 
Germany, Italy, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, and the CVD order 
on SSB from Italy. See Initiation of Five-Year (``Sunset'') Reviews, 72 
FR 4689 (February 1, 2007).
    As a result of its sunset reviews of these orders, the Department 
found that revocation of the AD orders would be likely to lead to the 
continuation or recurrence of dumping and that revocation of the CVD 
order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a 
countervailable subsidy. See Stainless Steel Bar from France, Italy, 
South Korea and the United Kingdom; Final Results of the Expedited 
Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders, 72 FR 30772 (June 4, 
2007); Stainless Steel Bar from Germany; Final Results of the Sunset 
Review of the Antidumping Duty Order, 72 FR 56985 (October 5, 2007); 
Stainless Steel Bar From Italy: Final Results of Expedited Five-Year 
(``Sunset'') Review of the Countervailing Duty Order, 72 FR 31288 (June 
6, 2007). The Department notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 
margins likely to prevail were the AD orders to be revoked and the 
level of subsidy likely to prevail were the CVD order to be revoked.
    On January 31, 2008, the ITC determined, pursuant to section 751(c) 
of the Act, that revocation of these orders would not be likely to lead 
to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the 
United States within a reasonably foreseeable time. See ITC Final and 
USITC Publication 3981 (January 2008), entitled Stainless Steel Bar 
from France, Germany, Italy, Korea, and the United Kingdom (Inv. Nos. 
701-TA-413 and 731-TA-913-916 & 918 (Review)).

Determination

    As a result of the determination by the ITC that revocation of 
these orders is not likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of 
material injury to an industry in the United States, the Department, 
pursuant to section 751(d) of the Act, is revoking the AD orders on SSB 
from France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, and 
the CVD order on SSB from Italy. Pursuant to section 751(d) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.222(i)(2)(i), the effective date of revocation is March 
7, 2007 (AD Orders) and March 8, 2007 (CVD Order). The Department will 
notify U.S. Customs and Border Protection to terminate suspension of 
liquidation and collection of cash deposits on entries of the subject 
merchandise entered or withdrawn from warehouse on or after March 7, 
2007 (AD Orders) and March 8, 2007 (CVD Order). Entries of subject 
merchandise prior to the effective date of revocation will continue to 
be subject to suspension of liquidation and antidumping and 
countervailing duty deposit requirements. The Department will complete 
any pending administrative reviews of these orders and will conduct 
administrative reviews of subject merchandise entered prior to the 
effective date of revocation in response to appropriately filed 
requests for review.
    These five-year sunset reviews and notice are in accordance with 
section 751(d)(2) of the Act and published pursuant to section 
777(i)(1) of the Act.
