SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department has received a request, pursuant to section 
751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, and in accordance with 19 CFR 353.22(h), for a 
new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar 
from India, which has a February anniversary date. One of the requests 
for a new shipper review did not include the necessary certifications 
pursuant to 19 CFR 353.22(h)(2). Therefore, on 3/14/97 we requested the 
appropriate certifications. The certifications were submitted on 3/18/
97.

Initiation of Review

    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 
353.22(h)(6), we are initiating a new shipper review of the antidumping 
duty order on stainless steel bar from India. We intend to issue the 
final results of the review not later than 270 days from the date of 
publication of this notice.
