SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On January 29, 2010, the Department of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain cased pencils from the People’s Republic of China, covering the period December 1, 2008 through November 30, 2009.

SUMMARY: On March 15, 2010, the Department of Commerce (the ‘‘Department’’) published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar (‘‘SSB’’) from India for the period February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009. See Stainless Steel Bar From India: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review 75 FR 12199 (March 15, 2010) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). The Department conducted a post-preliminary analysis and released the results of the analysis on May 19, 2010. We gave the interested parties an opportunity to comment on the Preliminary Results and the postpreliminary analysis. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes to the margin calculation. The final weighted-average dumping margins for the reviewed firms, Ambica Steels Limited (‘‘Ambica’’) and Venus Wire Industries Pvt. Ltd.,1 are listed below in the section entitled ‘‘Final Results of Review.’’ srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: 1 For the reasons explained in the Preliminary Results, we have determined that Venus Wire Industries Pvt. Ltd. and its affiliates, Precision Metals and Sieves Manufacturers (India) Pvt. Ltd., should be treated as a single entity and collapsed for the purposes of this review.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In the Preliminary Results, we relied on ‘‘facts otherwise available’’ in determining that there was linkage between Venus’ costs and prices, which resulted in Venus’ antidumping margin being calculated using quarterly costs. We also noted in the Preliminary Results that we would reexamine this issue based on additional information submitted by the company. On May 19, 2010, we released our post-preliminary analysis in which we determined that the application of the quarterly costing methodology to Venus was not warranted because we did not find correlation between cost and price trends. See Memorandum from Susan Kuhbach through John M. Andersen to Ronald K. Lorentzen: ‘‘2008–2009 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Stainless Steel Bar From India—Post-Preliminary Analysis Calculation Memorandum for Venus Wire Industries Pvt. Ltd.’’ and ‘‘Memorandum From LaVonne Clark Through Theresa C. Deeley to Neal Halper: Cost of Production and Constructed Value Calculation Adjustments for the Post-Preliminary Results—Venus Wire Industries Pvt. Ltd.,’’ dated May 19, 2010. On July 16, 2010, the Department published in the Federal Register an extension of the time limit for the completion of the final results of this review until no later than August 27, 2010, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2). See Stainless Steel Bar From India: Extension of Time Limit for the Final Results of the 2008–2009 Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 75 FR 41438 (July 16, 2010). We invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. We received case briefs on June 3, 2010, from Venus and June 7, 2010, from Carpenter 15, 2009; see also Memorandum from Erika McDonald to the File, ‘‘Relationship of Venus Wire Industries Pvt. Ltd. and Precision Metals,’’ dated September 14, 2009.

Carlson, Inc., Universal Stainless (‘‘Petitioners’’). On June 16, 2010, Venus submitted a rebuttal brief, and on June 18, 2010, Petitioners submitted a rebuttal brief. Ambica did not submit any comments. None of the parties requested a hearing. Scope of the Order Imports covered by the order are shipments of SSB. SSB means 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. SSB includes cold-finished SSBs 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 semifinished products, cut-to-length flatrolled products (i.e., cut-to-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), 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 SSB 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, our written description of the scope of the order is dispositive. On May 23, 2005, the Department issued a final scope ruling that SSB manufactured in the United Arab Emirates out of stainless steel wire rod from India is not subject to the scope of the order. See Memorandum from Team to Barbara E. Tillman, ‘‘Antidumping Duty Orders on Stainless Steel Bar From India and Stainless Steel Wire Rod from India: Final Scope Ruling,’’ dated May 23, 2005, which is on file in the Central E:\FR\FM\03SEN1.SGM 03SEN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 29, 2010, the Department of Commerce (``Department'') 
published a notice of initiation of administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on certain cased pencils from the People's 
Republic of China, covering the period December 1, 2008 through 
November 30, 2009. See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews, Requests for Revocation in Part, and 
Deferral of Initiation of Administrative Review, 75 FR 4770 (January 
29, 2010). The current deadline for the preliminary results of this 
administrative review is September 9, 2010.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ As explained in the memorandum from the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Import Administration, the Department has exercised 
its discretion to toll deadlines for the duration of the closure of 
the Federal Government from February 5, through February 12, 2010. 
See Memorandum to the Record from Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import 
Administration, regarding ``Tolling of Administrative Deadlines As a 
Result of the Government Closure During the Recent Snowstorm,'' 
dated February 12, 2010. Thus, all deadlines in this segment of the 
proceeding were extended by seven days. The revised deadline for the 
preliminary results of the 2008-2009 antidumping duty administrative 
review is therefore September 9, 2010. The final results of this 
review continue to be due 120 days after the publication of the 
preliminary results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statutory Time Limits

    Section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the 
Act''), requires the Department to issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of an order for which a review is requested and the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
preliminary results are published. If it is not practicable to complete 
the review within the time period, section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act 
allows the Department to extend these deadlines to a maximum of 365 
days and 180 days, respectively.

Extension of Time Limit for Preliminary Results

    The Department requires additional time to review and analyze the 
sales and factors of production responses in this administrative 
review. The Department has also found the need to issue additional 
supplemental questionnaires to respondents in this review. Moreover, 
the Department requires additional time to analyze complex issues 
related to

this review within the originally anticipated time limit (i.e., by

limit for completion of the preliminary results by 120 days to not 
later than January 7, 2011, in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
