Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).8 The
Department intends to issue appropriate

cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
Bhansali reported the name of the
importer of record and the entered value
for some of its sales to the United States
during the POR. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), for these sales, if
Bhansali’s weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent) in the final results of this
review, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates based on the
ratio of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the examined sales
to the total entered value of those sales.
Where Bhansali did not report entered
value, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates for the
merchandise in question by aggregating
the dumping margins calculated for all
U.S. sales to each importer and dividing
this amount by the total quantity of
those sales.
The Department clarified its
‘‘automatic assessment’’ regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Bhansali
for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction. For a full
discussion of this clarification, see
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May
6, 2003).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
notice of final results of administrative
review for all shipments of SSB from
India entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for Bhansali will be the rate
established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the
original investigation but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit

rate for all other manufacturers or

percent, the all-others rate established
in Notice of Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Stainless
Steel Bar from India, 59 FR 66915,
66921 (December 28, 1994). These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: March 2, 2015.

\7\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Department intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the
issues raised in any written briefs, within 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the
Act.
Assessment Rates
The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\8\ The Department
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after publication of the final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Bhansali, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal
to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the
time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
Bhansali reported the name of the importer of record and the
entered value for some of its sales to the United States during the
POR. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for these sales, if Bhansali's
weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent) in the final results of this review, we will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of those sales. Where Bhansali did not report
entered value, we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates for
the merchandise in question by aggregating the dumping margins
calculated for all U.S. sales to each importer and dividing this amount
by the total quantity of those sales.
The Department clarified its ``automatic assessment'' regulation on
May 6, 2003. This clarification will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Bhansali for which it did not
know its merchandise was destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this
clarification, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of SSB from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Bhansali
will be the rate established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated
companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 12.45 percent, the all-others rate established in Notice
of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Stainless
Steel Bar from India, 59 FR 66915, 66921 (December 28, 1994). These
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
