June 14, 2011, Aperam filed a request
for a changed circumstances review of
the antidumping duty order on SSPC
from Belgium. Aperam claimed that it is
the successor-in-interest to AMSB and
should be treated as such for purposes
of the antidumping duty order.
On July 29, 2011, the Department
published its initiation of the instant
changed circumstances review of the
antidumping duty order on SSPC from
Belgium.2
On October 26, 2011, the Department
published its preliminary results of
changed circumstances review of the
AD Order on SSPC from Belgium.3 The
Department preliminarily determined
that Aperam is the successor-in-interest
to AMSB and should be treated as such
for purposes of the antidumping duty
order. In the Preliminary Results, we
stated that interested parties could
submit case briefs to the Department no
later than 30 days after the publication
of the Preliminary Results in the Federal
Register, and submit rebuttal briefs
seven days subsequent to the due date
of the case briefs. Aperam submitted a
case brief on November 23, 2011, and no
interested parties submitted a rebuttal
brief.

Final Results of Changed

incorporate herein by reference), and in
light of the fact that no interested parties
submitted any comments on the
Department’s preliminary finding with
respect to Aperam, the Department
hereby determines that Aperam is the
successor-in-interest to AMSB and is
entitled to AMSB’s treatment under the

to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review
Based on the information provided by Aperam, the Department's

submitted any comments on the Department's preliminary finding with
respect to Aperam, the Department hereby determines that Aperam is the

merchandise from Aperam that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication of these final
results of the changed circumstances review.
Notifications
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate

of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
