Commerce is also amending the
Amended Final Results 2008–2009 with
respect to CPI. In particular, Commerce
is amending its previous rescission of
the administrative review and is no
longer rescinding the review with
respect to CPI but, instead, is issuing
final results of review with respect to
CPI. Moreover, Commerce intends to
issue instructions to CBP to liquidate
entries entered under CPI’s 23
combination rates as follows. For the 10
combination rates that CPI does not
acknowledge using, Commerce intends
to instruct CBP to liquidate entries
under those 10 combination rates at the
China-wide rate of 118.04 percent
because the record evidence
demonstrates that none of the
companies associated with these 10
combination rates made the relevant
export sale. For the 10 combination
rates that CPI does acknowledge using
and for which each producer had
knowledge the merchandise was
destined for the United States,
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to
liquidate entries under those 10
combination rates at the separate rate of
15.43 percent, determined for each
respective producer during the
administrative review. For the
remaining three combination rates,
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the rate in
effect at the time of entry, because the
three producers at issue were not
included in the final results of the
administrative review.
In the event that the CIT’s ruling is
not appealed, or, if appealed, is upheld
by a final and conclusive court decision,
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties in accordance with
the above.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The cash deposit rates for Stanley and
the 22 Separate Rate Companies have
changed as a result of subsequent
administrative reviews. Therefore, this
amended final results does not change
the later-established cash deposit rates
for these companies.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 516A(e)(1),
751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
Commerce is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel sar (SSB) from Spain, in
accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).1 The review covers one producer/
exporter of the subject merchandise,
Sidenor. When the review was initiated,
the period of review (POR) was March
1, 2017, through Febrary 28, 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
Spain, effective August 9, 2017.2 As a
result, the POR was revised to March 1,
2017, through August 8, 2017.3
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is SSB. The SSB subject to the order is
currently classifiable under subheadings
1 See Amended Final Determination and
Antidumping Duty Order: Stainless Steel Bar From
Spain, 60 FR 11656 (March 2, 1995) (Order).

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 Sidenor’s 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 importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).9 If Sidenor’s

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.10
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Sidenor 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 would 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, 2017.11 On October 19, 2018,
Commerce issued liquidation
instructions to CBP.12 Furthermore,
because the antidumping duty order on
SSB from Spain has been revoked as a
result of the Revocation Notice,
Commerce will not issue cash deposit
instructions at the conclusion of this
administrative review.

responsibility under 19 CFR

publication of this notice, unless extended, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1) and (2).
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
Sidenor's 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 importer's examined
sales and the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).\9\ If Sidenor's 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.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 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).
\10\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Sidenor 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 would 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.\11\ On October 19, 2018, Commerce issued liquidation instructions
to CBP.\12\ Furthermore, because the antidumping duty order on SSB from
Spain has been revoked as a result of the Revocation Notice, Commerce
will not issue cash deposit instructions at the conclusion of this
administrative review.
