sheet within the scope of the orders
includes both not clad aluminum sheet,
as well as multi-alloy, clad aluminum
sheet. With respect to not clad
aluminum sheet, common alloy sheet is
manufactured from a 1XXX-, 3XXX-, or
5XXX-series alloy as designated by the
Aluminum Association. With respect to
multi-alloy, clad aluminum sheet,
common alloy sheet is produced from a
3XXX-series core, to which cladding
layers are applied to either one or both
sides of the core.
Common alloy sheet may be made to
ASTM specification B209–14, but can
also be made to other specifications.
Regardless of specification, however, all
common alloy sheet meeting the scope
description is included in the scope.
Subject merchandise includes common
alloy sheet that has been further
processed in a third country, including
but not limited to annealing, tempering,
painting, varnishing, trimming, cutting,
punching, and/or slitting, or any other
processing that would not otherwise
remove the merchandise from the scope
of the orders if performed in the country
of manufacture of the common alloy
sheet.
Excluded from the scope of the orders
is aluminum can stock, which is
suitable for use in the manufacture of
aluminum beverage cans, lids of such
cans, or tabs used to open such cans.
Aluminum can stock is produced to
gauges that range from 0.200 mm to
0.292 mm, and has an H–19, H–41, H–
48, or H–391 temper. In addition,
aluminum can stock has a lubricant
applied to the flat surfaces of the can
stock to facilitate its manufacture of
beverage cans. Aluminum can stock is
properly classified under Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) subheadings 7606.12.3045 and
7606.12.3055.
Where the nominal and actual
measurements vary, a product is within
the scope if application of either the
nominal or actual measurement would
place it within the scope based on the
definitions set for the above.
Common alloy sheet is currently
classifiable under HTSUS subheadings
7606.11.3060, 7606.11.6000,
7606.12.3090, 7606.12.6000,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On February 24, 2021, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
Preliminary Results of the 2019–2020
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on SS Bar from
India.1 We invited interested parties to

comment on the Preliminary Results
and on March 26, 2021, Venus Wire
Industries Pvt. Ltd., Hindustan Inox,
Precision Metals and Sieves
Manufacturers (India) Pvt. Ltd.
(collectively, the Venus Group)
submitted a timely filed case brief.2 On
April 2, 2021, the petitioners 3
submitted a timely filed rebuttal brief.4
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the
antidumping duty Order 5 are SS Bar. A
full description of the scope of the
Order is contained in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.6
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs filed by interested parties
in this review are addressed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A
list of the issues that parties raised, and
to which we responded in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum, follows as
an appendix to this notice. The Issues
and Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is made available to the
public electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a
complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly on the internet at https://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
Rate for Non-Selected Respondent
We preliminarily applied a rate based
on the rate calculated for the only
company not selected for individual
examination, Ambica Steels Limited
(Ambica), in the 2018–2019
administrative review (i.e., 0.00). No
party commented on the Preliminary
Results regarding the rate for the nonselected company. Therefore, for these
final results, we continue to assign 0.00
percent to Ambica.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, and for the reasons explained in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
we did not make changes to the
Preliminary Results.
Use of Adverse Facts Available
Pursuant to sections 776(a) and 776(b)
of the Act, Commerce continues to base
the Venus Group’s dumping margin on
total AFA because it failed to provide
information requested by the applicable
deadlines. For the reasons explained in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
we have continued to apply an AFA rate
of 30.92 percent to the Venus Group.
Final Results of Administrative Review
As a result of this administrative
review, Commerce determines that the
following dumping margin exists for the
period February 1, 2019, through
January 31, 2020:

Disclosure
Assessment Rates
Normally, Commerce discloses the
calculations performed in connection
with final results of an administrative
review within five days of any public
announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the
date of publication of this notice of final
results in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, because Commerce applied
total AFA to the only mandatory
respondent under review in accordance
with section 776 of the Act, there are no
calculations to disclose to any interested
party.
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
has determined, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. Commerce will instruct CBP to
apply an ad valorem assessment rate of
30.92 percent to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR from the
Venus Group. Because the rate assigned
to Ambica is zero,7 Commerce will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.8
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
Review; 2019–2020; 86 FR 11235 (February 24,
2021), and accompanying Preliminary Decision
Memorandum (Preliminary Results).

The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice for all shipments of SS Bar
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of

will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment of 30.92 percent to the Venus Group,
and instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries for Ambica without regard to antidumping
duties.

which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, follows as an
appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public

Rate for Non-Selected Respondent
We preliminarily applied a rate based on the rate calculated for
the only company not selected for individual examination, Ambica Steels
Limited (Ambica), in the 2018-2019 administrative review (i.e., 0.00).
No party commented on the Preliminary Results regarding the rate for
the non-selected company. Therefore, for these final results, we
continue to assign 0.00 percent to Ambica.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, and for the
reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we did not
make changes to the Preliminary Results.
Use of Adverse Facts Available
Pursuant to sections 776(a) and 776(b) of the Act, Commerce
continues to base the Venus Group's dumping margin on total AFA because
it failed to provide information requested by the applicable deadlines.
For the reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we
have continued to apply an AFA rate of 30.92 percent to the Venus
Group.
Final Results of Administrative Review

results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, because Commerce applied total AFA to the only mandatory
respondent under review in accordance with section 776 of the Act,
there are no calculations to disclose to any interested party.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review.
Commerce will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of
30.92 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR from
the Venus Group. Because the rate assigned to Ambica is zero,\7\
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ In the Preliminary Results, Commerce inadvertently stated
``. . . , we will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment
rate of 30.92 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during
the POR from the Venus Group and Ambica.'' See Preliminary Results.
We intended to state that we will instruct CBP to apply an ad
valorem assessment of 30.92 percent to the Venus Group, and instruct
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries for Ambica without regard
to antidumping duties.
\8\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of this notice for all shipments of
SS Bar entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the date of publication as provided by section
[[Page 47476]]
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for the companies
subject to this review will be equal to the dumping margin established
in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a
prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed
segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation
but the producer has been covered in a prior completed segment of this
proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in
the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of
the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 12.45 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation for this

Notification to Importers
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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of
doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (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
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 terms of an APO
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: August 19, 2021.
