SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 21, 1995, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the AD order on SS Bar from India.\1\ On August 13, 2024, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of this NSR, wherein we determined
that Welspun's sales were bona fide transactions and were not made
below NV.\2\ We invited interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results.\3\ No interested parties submitted comments.
Accordingly, Commerce made no changes to the Preliminary Results and no
decision memorandum accompanies this notice. On July 22, 2024, Commerce
tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven
days.\4\ The deadline for the final results is now October 30, 2024.
Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Final Results of Review
We received no comments on the Preliminary Results and, therefore,
have made no changes for the final results of this NSR. Accordingly,
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the POR February 1, 2023, through July 31, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welspun Specialty Solutions Limited........................ 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results,
we have not modified our analysis, and no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the
Preliminary Results as the final results of this review.\7\
Consequently, there are no new calculations to disclose in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) 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 NSR. We intend
to instruct CBP to apply the importer-specific ad valorem assessment
rates we calculated for the Preliminary Results on the basis of the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\8\ If the importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, then Commerce will instruct CBP
to liquidate such entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See, e.g., 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Welspun, for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 12.45 percent) \9\ if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results 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 from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption
on or after the date of publication as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C)
of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise produced and exported by
Welspun, no cash deposit will be required; \10\ (2) for subject
merchandise exported, but not produced by Welspun, the cash deposit
rate will be the producer's rate or the all-others rate (i.e., 12.45
percent) \11\ if the producer does not have its own rate; (3) for
subject merchandise produced, but not exported by Welspun, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter, or the all-
others rate if the exporter does not have its own rate. These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ Commerce established a combination cash deposit rate for
this company, consistent with its practice in new shipper reviews.

from the Republic of Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative and New Shipper Reviews and Rescission of

11, 2016).

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 antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an APO
of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under the 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 terms of an APO is a violation which is
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing the final results of this review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
