in the Federal Register the antidumping

Antidumping Duty Orders: Stainless
Steel Bar from Brazil, India and Japan,
60 FR 9661 (February 21, 1995). On

determine that, for purposes of the
antidumping law, India Steel is the
successor-in-interest to Isibars. See

On September 25, 2008, the
Department published the notice of
initiation and preliminary results of
review, finding that India Steel is the
successor-in-interest to Isibars and
should be treated as such for
antidumping duty cash deposit
purposes. See Notice of Initiation and

preliminary results. We received no
