SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Background
On February 21, 1995, the Department
published the Order.2 On February 14,
2012, Suruga USA Corp. (Suruga)
requested that the Department conduct
a changed-circumstances review of the
Order.3 On May 7, 2012, Suruga
submitted revised product descriptions,
as described below, with respect to one
product under Grade 304 and two
products under Grade 440C.4 Suruga
stated that, although the form of the
descriptions was revised for ease of
understanding, the products described
in its May 7, 2012 submission are
identical to those in its February 14,
2012 submission.5 On May 11, 2012, we
received a submission from the
petitioners 6 expressing a lack of interest

in the products identified in Suruga’s
May 7, 2012, request and certifications
that they account for virtually all of the
domestic production of the particular
SSBar.7 On May 29, 2012, we published
the initiation and preliminary results of
this changed-circumstances review.8 As
noted above, we gave interested parties
an opportunity to comment on the
Initiation and Preliminary Results.9 We
received no comments from interested
parties.
Scope of the Order
The scope of the order covers SSBar.
The term SSBar with respect to the
order 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. SSBar includes coldfinished SSBars 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-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), 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.
In addition, the term does not include
certain valve/stem stainless steel round
bar of 21–2N modified grade, having a
diameter of 5.7 millimeters (with a
tolerance of 0.025 millimeters), in
length no greater than 15 meters, having
a chemical composition consisting of a
minimum of 0.50 percent and a
maximum of 0.60 percent of carbon, a
minimum of 7.50 percent and a
Bar, Inc., Universal Stainless & Alloy Products, Inc.,
and Valbruna Slater Stainless, Inc.
7 See the petitioners’ letter to the Department,
dated May 11, 2012, at 1. The petitioners used the
term ‘‘virtually all’’ in their May 11, 2012, letter.
See id. at 1–2. For the final results, the Department
continues to interpret the phrase ‘‘virtually all’’ as
fulfilling the ‘‘substantially all’’ threshold provided
under section 351.222(g)(1)(i) of the Department’s
regulations.
8 See generally Initiation and Preliminary Results.
9 See id. 77 FR at 31580.
