On April 6, 2005, the Department of Commerce published the preliminary results of the second administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from France. The review covers UGITECH S.A. (UGITECH), a manufacturer/exporter of the subject merchandise. The period of review is March 1, 2003, through February 29, 2004. The Department preliminarily determined that UGITECH is the successor-in-interest to Ugine-Savoie Imphy S.A. for purposes of determining antidumping duty liability. The Department is now affirming its preliminary results. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we have made changes in the margin calculations. Therefore, the final results differ from the preliminary results. The final weighted-average dumping margin for the reviewed firm is listed below in the section entitled ``Final Results of Review.''

In response to a request from FMC Corporation (FMC), a domestic producer and an interested party in this proceeding, the Department of Commerce (the Department) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on persulfates from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of review (POR) is July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004. Upon completion of this review, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise that were exported by the company under review and entered during the POR. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
