SUMMARY: In response to a timely
request by Ascometal, S.A. (Ascometal),
the Department of Commerce (the
Department) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel bar (SSB) from France with respect
to Ascometal. The period of review
(POR) is March 1, 2006, through
February 28, 2007.
We preliminarily determine that
Ascometal did not sell SSB below
normal value (NV) during the POR.
Interested parties are invited to
comment on the preliminary results. If
the preliminary results are adopted in
our final results of administrative
review, we will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 31, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 7, 2002, the Department of
Commerce (the Department) published
in the Federal Register an antidumping
duty order on SSB from France. See
Antidumping Duty Order: Stainless
Steel Bar from France, 67 FR 10385
(March 7, 2002). On March 2, 2007, the
Department published in the Federal
Register a notice of ‘‘Opportunity To
Request Administrative Review’’ of the
antidumping duty order on SSB from
France for the POR. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
to Request Administrative Review, 72
FR 9505 (March 2, 2007). On March 30
and April 2, 2007, Ugitech, S.A.
(Ugitech) and Ascometal submitted
timely letters requesting that the
Department conduct an administrative
review of their sales of SSB made during
the POR, pursuant to section 751 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
On April 27, 2007, the Department
published a notice of initiation of an
administrative review with respect to
Ascometal and Ugitech. See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Reviews, 72 FR 20986 (April 27, 2007).
On April 30, 2007, we issued
antidumping duty questionnaires to
both companies.
On May 24, 2007, Ugitech timely
withdrew its request for an

administrative review. The Department
published the rescission of the
administrative review with respect to
Ugitech on June 15, 2007. See Stainless
Steel Bar from France: Notice of Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review, 72 FR 33202
(June 15, 2007).
Ascometal submitted responses to
sections A, B, and C of the Department’s
questionnaire in June 2007. We issued
a supplemental questionnaire in July
2007, and received a response to this
questionnaire later that month.
Ascometal provided additional
information in response to Department
requests during November 2007.
On June 27, 2007, the petitioners1
requested that the Department initiate a
sales-below-cost investigation of
Ascometal. On August 8, 2007, we
initiated this investigation. See
Memorandum to James Maeder,
Director, Office 2, AD/CVD Operations,
entitled ‘‘Petitioners’ Allegation of Sales
Below the Cost of Production for
Ascometal S.A.,’’ dated August 8, 2007
(COP Initiation Memo). On August 9,
2007, we instructed Ascometal to
respond to section D of the
Department’s questionnaire. On
September 10, 2007, we granted
Ascometal’s request to report its cost of
production (COP) based on the period
January 1, 2006, through December 31,
2006, rather than the POR. Ascometal
submitted its response to section D of
the questionnaire on September 28,
2007. On October 12, 2007, we issued a
supplemental section D questionnaire to
Ascometal, to which Ascometal
submitted its response on November 2,
2007.
On November 2, 2007, we extended
the time limit for the preliminary results
in this review until March 31, 2008. See
Notice of Extension of Time Limit for
Preliminary Results in Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review: Stainless
Steel Bar From France, 72 FR 62209
(November 2, 2007).
We conducted a verification of
Ascometal’s reported U.S. sales data in
December 2007, and issued our
verification report on February 5, 2008.
In response to our February 6, 2008,
request, Ascometal submitted a revised
U.S. sales database reflecting certain
verification corrections and findings on
February 15, 2008.
