Stainless Steel Bar From India: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Partial Termination of Administrative Review

Riepilogo

In response to requests from Mukand Limited (``Mukand'') and Ferro Alloys Corporation Limited (``Facor''), the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from India. This review covers Mukand's sales of the subject merchandise to the United States during the period February 1, 1996 through January 31, 1997. Although we included Facor in our initiation notice for this review, we subsequently initiated a new shipper review, covering the same review period, for that company. Consequently, we are terminating this review with respect to Facor. We have preliminarily determined that Mukand's sales have been made below normal value (``NV''). If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of administrative review, we will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to assess antidumping duties equal to the difference between the export price (EP) and the normal value (NV). Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. Parties who submit argument are requested to submit with the argument (1) a statement of the issue and (2) a brief summary of the argument.
