determination, a request for such
postponement is made by exporters who
account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise, or in
the event of a negative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by the petitioner.
Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s
regulations requires that a request by
exporters for postponement of the final
determination be accompanied by a
request for extension of provisional
measures from a four-month period to a
period not more than six months in
duration.
On September 19, 2018, pursuant to
19 CFR 351.210(e), Paras requested that
Commerce postpone the final
determination and that provisional
measures be extended to a period not to
exceed six months.10 On September 21,
2018, Commerce received a like request
from Kumar.11 In accordance with
section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), because: (1) The
preliminary determination is
affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters
account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise; and
(3) no compelling reasons for denial
exist, Commerce is postponing the final
determination and extending the
provisional measures from a four-month
period to a period not greater than six
months. Accordingly, Commerce will
make its final determination no later
than 135 days after the date of
publication of this preliminary
determination.
International Trade Commission
Notification
In accordance with section 733(f) of
the Act, Commerce will notify the
International Trade Commission (ITC) of
its preliminary determination. If the
final determination is affirmative, the
ITC will determine before the later of
120 days after the date of this
preliminary determination or 45 days
after the final determination whether
these imports are materially injuring, or
threaten material injury to, the U.S.
industry.

Background
This review covers one producer/
exporter of the subject merchandise,
Villares Metals S.A. (Villares). When the
review was initiated, the period of
review (POR) was February 1, 2017
through January 31, 2018. However, on
October 3, 2018, as a result of a five-year
(sunset) review, Commerce revoked the
antidumping duty order on imports of
stainless steel bar (SSB) from Brazil,
effective August 9, 2017. As a result, the
POR was revised to February 1, 2017,
through August 8, 2017.1
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is SSB. 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). While the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description is dispositive. A full

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce shall determine and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
revised POR. If Villares’ weightedaverage dumping margin continues to be
above de minimis 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 each importers’
examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).7 If Villares’
weighted-average dumping margin is

zero or de minimis in the final results
of this review, we will instruct CBP not
to assess duties on any of its entries in
accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.8
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Villares for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company or companies involved in the
transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
In the Revocation Notice, Commerce
stated that it intends to issue
instructions to CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
discontinue the collection of cash
deposits on entries of subject
merchandise, entered or withdrawn
from warehouse, on or after August 9,
2017.9 Furthermore, because the
antidumping duty order on SSB from
Brazil has been revoked as a result of
the Revocation Notice, Commerce will
not issue cash deposit instructions at
the conclusion of this administrative
review.
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 period
of review. 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 and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(1) and 351.221(b)(4).

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce shall determine and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this revised POR. If
Villares' weighted-average dumping margin continues to be above de
minimis 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 each importers' examined
sales and the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).\7\ If Villares' weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis in the final results of this review, we will
instruct CBP not to assess duties on any of its entries in accordance
with the Final Modification for Reviews.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\8\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Villares for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company or
companies involved in the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of
the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
In the Revocation Notice, Commerce stated that it intends to issue
instructions to CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to
discontinue the collection of cash deposits on entries of subject
merchandise, entered or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after August 9,
2017.\9\ Furthermore, because the antidumping duty order on SSB from
Brazil has been revoked as a result of the Revocation Notice, Commerce
will not issue cash deposit instructions at the conclusion of this
administrative review.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 period of review. 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 and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1)
and 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: October 25, 2018.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
