SUMMARY: On November 18, 2014, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published in the Federal
Register the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel bar (SSB) from Spain.1 The period
of review (POR) is March 1, 2013,
through February 28, 2014. The review
covers one producer/exporter of the
subject merchandise, Gerdau Aceros
Especiales Europa, S.L. (Gerdau). We
invited parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results. None were
received. Accordingly, these final
results are unchanged from the
Preliminary Results, and we continue to
find that Gerdau did not have
reviewable entries during the POR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is SSB. The term SSB 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. SSB includes coldfinished 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 semi-finished products,
cut-length flat-rolled products (i.e., cutlength 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 the order is
currently classifiable under subheadings
7222.10.00, 7222.11.00, 7222.19.00,
7222.20.00, 7222.30.00 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
Background
We received a timely submission from
Gerdau reporting that it did not have
sales, shipments, or entries of the
subject merchandise during the POR.2
In addition, in response to the
Department’s query, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) did not provide
any evidence that contradicted Gerdau’s
claim of no shipments.3 We received no
comments from interested parties
concerning the results of our query with
the CBP. Therefore, based on Gerdau’s
certification and our analysis of CBP
information, we preliminarily
determined that Gerdau did not have
any reviewable entries during the POR.4
We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results.5
None were received. The Department
conducted this review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Final Determination of No Shipments
As explained above, in the
Preliminary Results, we found that
Gerdau did not have reviewable entries
during the POR.6 Also in the
Preliminary Results, we stated that
consistent with our recently announced
refinement to our assessment practice, it
is not appropriate to rescind the review
with respect to Gerdau but, rather, to
complete the review with respect to
Gerdau and issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final
results of this review.7
After issuing the Preliminary Results,
we received no comments from
interested parties, nor have we received
any information that would cause us to
revisit our preliminary determination.
Therefore, for these final results, we
continue to find that Gerdau did not
have any reviewable entries during the
POR.
Assessment
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after the publication date
of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of this notice of final
results of the administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Gerdau
remains unchanged from the rate
assigned to the company in the most
recently completed review of the
company; (2) for other manufacturers
and exporters covered in a prior
segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate continues to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which that manufacturer
or exporter participated; (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 is the rate
established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the manufacturer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters continues to be 25.77 percent,
the all-others rate established in the
investigation.10 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
We determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with these final results of
review.8 Consistent with the
Department’s refinement to its
assessment practice, because we
determined that Gerdau had no
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR, for entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by Gerdau for which it did not know
that the merchandise was destined for
the United States, 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.9

This notice serves as a final 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 POR. 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely

destruction of APO materials, or

Scope of the Order
[C–533–849]
The scope of this order covers
commodity matchbooks, also known as
commodity book matches, paper
matches or booklet matches.6
Commodity matchbooks typically, but
do not necessarily, consist of twenty
match stems which are usually made
from paperboard or similar material
tipped with a match head composed of
any chemical formula. The match stems
may be stitched, stapled or otherwise
fastened into a matchbook cover of any
material, on which a striking strip
composed of any chemical formula has
been applied to assist in the ignition
process.
Commodity matchbooks included in
the scope of this order may or may not
contain printing. For example, they may
have no printing other than the
identification of the manufacturer or
importer. Commodity matchbooks may
also be printed with a generic message
such as ‘‘Thank You’’ or a generic image
such as the American Flag, with store
brands (e.g., Kroger, 7-Eleven, Shurfine
or Giant); product brands for national or
regional advertisers such as cigarettes or
alcoholic beverages; or with corporate
brands for national or regional
distributors (e.g., Penley Corp. or
Diamond Brands). They all enter retail
distribution channels. Regardless of the
materials used for the stems of the
matches and regardless of the way the
match stems are fastened to the

6 Such commodity matchbooks are also referred
to as ‘‘for resale’’ because they always enter into

matchbooks are included in the scope of
this investigation. All matchbooks,
including commodity matchbooks,
typically comply with the United States
Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) Safety Standard for Matchbooks,
codified at 16 CFR 1202.1 et seq.
The scope of this order excludes
promotional matchbooks, often referred
to as ‘‘not for resale,’’ or ‘‘specialty
advertising’’ matchbooks, as they do not
enter into retail channels and are sold
to businesses that provide hospitality,
dining, drinking or entertainment
services to their customers, and are
given away by these businesses as
promotional items. Such promotional
matchbooks are distinguished by the
physical characteristic of having the
name and/or logo of a bar, restaurant,
´
resort, hotel, club, cafe/coffee shop,
grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino,
barbecue or individual establishment
printed prominently on the matchbook
cover. Promotional matchbook cover
printing also typically includes the
address and the phone number of the
business or establishment being
promoted.7 Also excluded are all other
matches that are not fastened into a
matchbook cover such as wooden
matches, stick matches, box matches,
kitchen matches, pocket matches, penny
matches, household matches, strikeanywhere matches (aka ‘‘SAW’’
matches), strike-on-box matches (aka
‘‘SOB’’ matches), fireplace matches,
barbeque/grill matches, fire starters, and
wax matches.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in this review are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The issues discussed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum
include the likelihood of continuation
or recurrence of a countervailable
subsidy and the net countervailable
subsidy likely to prevail if the CVD
Order were revoked. Parties can find a
complete discussion of all issues raised
in this expedited sunset review and the
corresponding recommendations in this
public memorandum which is on file
electronically via the Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
7 The gross distinctions between commodity
matchbooks and promotional matchbooks may be
summarized as follows: (1) If it has no printing, or
is printed with a generic message such as ‘‘Thank
You’’ or a generic image such as the American Flag,
or printed with national or regional store brands or
corporate brands, it is commodity; (2) if it has
printing, and the printing includes the name of a
´
bar, restaurant, resort, hotel, club, cafe/coffee shop,
grill, pub, eatery, lounge, casino, barbecue, or
individual establishment prominently displayed on
the matchbook cover, it is promotional.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order is SSB. The term SSB 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. 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 semi-finished
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.
The SSB subject to the order is currently classifiable under
subheadings 7222.10.00, 7222.11.00, 7222.19.00, 7222.20.00, 7222.30.00
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the order is
dispositive.
Background
We received a timely submission from Gerdau reporting that it did
not have sales, shipments, or entries of the subject merchandise during
the POR.\2\ In addition, in response to the Department's query, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) did not provide any evidence that
contradicted Gerdau's claim of no shipments.\3\ We received no comments
from interested parties concerning the results of our query with the
CBP. Therefore, based on Gerdau's certification and our analysis of CBP
information, we preliminarily determined that Gerdau did not have any
reviewable entries during the POR.\4\

Final Determination of No Shipments
As explained above, in the Preliminary Results, we found that
Gerdau did not have reviewable entries during the POR.\6\ Also in the
Preliminary Results, we stated that consistent with our recently
announced refinement to our assessment practice, it is not appropriate
to rescind the review with respect to Gerdau but, rather, to complete
the review with respect to Gerdau and issue appropriate instructions to
CBP based on the final results of this review.\7\

After issuing the Preliminary Results, we received no comments from
interested parties, nor have we received any information that would
cause us to revisit our preliminary determination. Therefore, for these
final results, we continue to find that Gerdau did not have any
reviewable entries during the POR.
Assessment
We determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with these
final results of review.\8\ Consistent with the Department's refinement
to its assessment practice, because we determined that Gerdau had no
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, for entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Gerdau for which it did not know
that the merchandise was destined for the United States, 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.\9\

Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May

We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication date of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of this
notice of final results of the administrative review, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Gerdau
remains unchanged from the rate assigned to the company in the most
recently completed review of the company; (2) for other manufacturers
and exporters covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate continues to be the company-specific rate published for
the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which that
manufacturer or exporter participated; (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 is the
rate established for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the manufacturer of subject merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters continues to
be 25.77 percent, the all-others rate established in the
investigation.\10\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 POR. 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or
conversion to judicial protective order,
[[Page 12800]]
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms
of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review and notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of
the Act.
Dated: March 3, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
