SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 13, 2005, the Department of Commerce published in the 
Federal Register the final results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on stainless steel wire rod (SSWR) from India. 
See Stainless Steel Wire Rod From India: Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review and Determination to Revoke Order in Part, 
70 FR 40318 (July 13, 2005).
    On July 19, 2005, we received a timely ministerial-error allegation 
from Carpenter Technology Corporation (the petitioner) with respect to 
Isibars Limited (Isibars). Specifically, the petitioner argued that, in 
our margin calculation, we did not distinguish sales of prime 
merchandise from sales of secondary merchandise for matching purposes 
and, as a result, incorrectly matched prime merchandise sold in the 
United States with secondary merchandise sold in India. Isibars did not 
comment on this issue.
    It is our practice to distinguish between prime and secondary 
merchandise. See Certain Cold-Rolled and Corrosion-Resistant Carbon 
Steel Flat Products From Korea: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 65 FR 13359 (March 13, 2000) and accompanying 
Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 19. See also Certain 
Corrosion-Resistant Carbon Steel Flat Products From Canada: Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 69 FR 2566 (January 
16, 2004) and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 8. 
Therefore, we agree with the petitioner's allegation and have made the 
appropriate changes to our calculation. See ``Amended Final Analysis 
Memorandum of Isibars Limited for Stainless Steel Wire Rod from India 
Adm. Rev. 12/1/02 - 11/30/03'' dated July 29, 2005.

Amended Final Results of Review

    As a result of the correction of the ministerial error, the 
weighted-average margin for Isibars for the period December 1, 2002, 
through November 30, 2003, has changed from 27.20 percent to 30.10 
percent.

Cash-Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon

withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 
date of these amended final results, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1) The 
cash-deposit rate for Isibars will be 30.10 percent; (2) for 
merchandise exported by other producers or exporters that were reviewed 
or investigated previously, the cash-deposit rate will continue to be 
the most recent rate published in the final determination or final 
results for which the producer or exporter received an individual rate; 
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior 
review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation but 
the manufacturer is, the cash-deposit rate will be the rate established 
for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the subject 
merchandise; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the manufacturer is a 
firm covered in this or any previous review, the cash-deposit rate 
shall be 48.80 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV 
investigation. See Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value: Certain Stainless Steel Wire Rods from India, 58 FR 54110 
(October 20, 1993). These deposit requirements shall remain in effect 
until the publication of the final results of the next administrative 
review.

Duty Assessment

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we will direct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection to assess the resulting per-unit dollar 
amount against each unit of merchandise entered or withdrawn from 
warehouse for consumption during the review period. We will issue the 
liquidation instructions within 15 days of publication of these amended 
final results of review.
    We are issuing and publishing these results and notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and (h) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 
CFR 351.224(e).
