Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margin exists for the respondents for the period
February 1, 2014, through January 31, 2015.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bhansali Bright Bars Pvt. Ltd........................... 0.00
Ambica Steels Limited................................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, the Department shall
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). The respondents'
weighted-average dumping margin in these final results is zero percent.
Therefore, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties. The Department intends to issue
the appropriate assessment instructions for Ambica and Bhansali to CBP
15 days after the date of publication of these final results.
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 Ambica and Bhansali for which it
did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States. In
such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate companies
involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final
results of review within five days of the date of publication of this
notice in the Federal Register in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Notifications
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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
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, is hereby requested. Failure
to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
These final results of administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act.
