Notice of Final Results of Antidumping

Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On October 26, 2016, the
Department of Commerce (the
‘‘Department’’) published the notice of
initiation and preliminary results of the
changed circumstances review of the
antidumping duty (‘‘AD’’) order on
stainless steel bar (‘‘SSB’’) from Spain.
The Department preliminarily
determined that Sidenor Aceros
Especiales S.L. (‘‘Sidenor’’) is the
successor-in-interest to Gerdau Aceros
Especiales Europa S.L. (‘‘Gerdau’’) for
purposes of the AD order and, as such,
is entitled to Gerdau’s cash deposit rate
with respect to entries of subject
merchandise. We invited interested
parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results. As no parties submitted
comments, and there is no additional
information or evidence on the record,
the Department is making no changes to
the Preliminary Results.
DATES: Effective December 2, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On September 6, 2016, Sidenor
informed the Department that, effective
May 20, 2016, the following occurred:
(1) Gerdau S.A., the Brazilian owner of
Gerdau Holdings Europa S.A.U.,
including its Spanish subsidiary
company Gerdau, sold its European
holdings to Clerbil S.L.; and (2) Clerbil
S.L. renamed Gerdau Holdings Europa
S.A.U. to be Sidenor Holdings Europa
S.A.U.; and Gerdau, to be Sidenor,
while leaving its operations mostly
unchanged.1 Citing section 751(b) of the
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(‘‘the Act’’) and 19 CFR 351.216,
Sidenor requested that the Department
initiate a changed circumstances review
and determine that Sidenor is the
successor-in-interest to Gerdau. On
1 See Letter to the Secretary of Commerce from
Sidenor, ‘‘Stainless Steel Bar from Spain: Sidenor
request for changed-circumstances review’’

October 26, 2016, the Department
initiated this changed circumstances
review and published the notice of
preliminary results, determining that
Sidenor is the successor-in-interest to
Gerdau.2
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., 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 subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, our
written description of the scope of this
investigation is dispositive.3
Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Review
Because no party submitted a case
brief in response to the Department’s
Preliminary Results, and because the
record contains no other information or
evidence that calls into question the
Preliminary Results, the Department

with respect to entries of merchandise
subject to the AD order on SSB from
Spain.4
Instructions to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection
Based on these final results, we will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to collect estimated
antidumping duties for all shipments of
subject merchandise exported by
Sidenor and entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the publication of this notice in the
Federal Register at the current AD cash
deposit rate for Gerdau (i.e., 0 percent).
This case deposit requirement shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice serves as a final 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/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this
final results notice in accordance with

crab (a/k/a WAG and EAG) sub-loan in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July
28, 2005, NMFS published a Federal
Register document (69 FR 67100)
proposing regulations to implement an
industry fee system for repaying the
reduction loan. The final rule was
published September 16, 2005 (70 FR

October 17, 2005. Interested persons
should review these for further program
details.
The Aleutian Island Golden (Brown)
King crab sub-loan of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands (BSAI) King and
Tanner Crab Capacity Reduction
(Buyback) loan in the amount of
$6,380,837.19 will be repaid in full
upon receipt of buyback fees on
landings through October 31, 2016.
NMFS has received $10,004,785.86 to
repay the principal and interest on this
sub-loan since fee collection began
October 17, 2005. Based on buyback fees
received to date, landings after October
31, 2016, will not be subject to the
buyback fee. Therefore, buyback loan
fees will no longer be collected in the
Aleutian Island Golden (Brown) King
crab fishery on future landings.
Buyback fees not yet forwarded to
NMFS for Aleutian Island Golden
(Brown) King crab landings through
October 31, 2016, should be forwarded
to NMFS immediately. Any
overpayment of buyback fees submitted
to NMFS will be refunded on a pro-rata
basis to the fish buyers/processors based
upon best available fish ticket landings
data. The fish buyers/processors should
return excess buyback fees collected to
the harvesters, including buyback fees
collected but not yet remitted to NMFS
for landings after October 31, 2016. Any
discrepancies in fees owed and fees
paid must be resolved immediately.
