Background
Commerce published the Preliminary
Results of this administrative review on
stainless steel bar (SSB) from Spain on
December 10, 2018.1 We invited
interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results; however, no
interested party submitted comments.
Commerce conducted this
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on SSB from
Spain in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and (2) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).2 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, 2017.3 As a result,
the POR was revised to March 1, 2017,
through August 8, 2017.4
Commerce exercised its discretion to
toll all deadlines affected by the partial
federal government closure from
December 22, 2018, through the
resumption of operations on January 29,
2019.5 If the new deadline falls on a
non-business day, in accordance with
Commerce’s practice, the deadline will
become the next business day. The
revised deadline for the final results of
this review is now May 20, 2019.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is Stainless Steel Bar. The merchandise
subject to this order is currently
classified under the following
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings:
7222.10.00, 7222.11.00, 7222.19.00,
7222.20.00, and 7222.30.00.6 Although
the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the scope of
the order is dispositive.7
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
As no parties submitted comments on
the Preliminary Results, we made no
changes in the final results of this
review.
Final Results of the Review
As there are no changes from, or
comments upon, the Preliminary
Results, Commerce has not modified its
analysis or calculations. Accordingly,
no decision memorandum accompanies
this Federal Register notice. We
continue to find that Sidenor made sales
of subject merchandise at less than
normal value during the POR.
Commerce determines that the
following weighted-average dumping

Assessment Rates
Commerce will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries in this review, in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of these final results of
review.
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Sidenor for which
it did not know that the merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate those
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. 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 the terms of an APO is subject to
sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h).

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,
2017.8 Furthermore, because the
antidumping duty order on SSB from
Spain has been revoked as a result of the
Revocation Notice, Commerce does not
intend to issue cash deposit instructions
at the conclusion of this administrative
review.
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also 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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.

Final Results of the Review
As there are no changes from, or comments upon, the Preliminary
Results, Commerce has not modified its analysis or calculations.
Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register
notice. We continue to find that Sidenor made sales of subject
merchandise at less than normal value during the POR.

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.\8\ Furthermore, because the antidumping duty order on SSB from

does not intend to issue cash deposit instructions at the conclusion of
this administrative review.

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
