SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Amendment to Final Results

    In accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the ``Act''), on April 10, 2007, the Department published the 
final results of the 2004-2005 administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on stainless steel wire rod (``SSWR'') from Sweden, in which 
we determined that the respondent, Fagersta Stainless AB (``FSAB'')\1\, 
sold subject merchandise to the United States at less than normal value 
during the period of review (``POR'').\2\ See Stainless Steel Wire Rod 
from Sweden: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
72 FR 17834 (April 10, 2007) (``Final Results''). On April 16, 2007, we 
received an allegation, timely filed pursuant to section 751(h) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(c)(2), from FSAB that the Department made a 
ministerial error in the Final Results. The petitioners\3\ did not 
comment on the alleged ministerial error.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In the final results of this review, we determined it 
appropriate to treat FSAB and its affiliates, AB Sandvik Materials 
Technology (``SMT'') and Kanthal AB (``Kanthal''), as one entity for 
margin calculation purposes because they met the regulatory criteria 
for collapsing affiliated producers.
    \2\ The POR of this review is September 1, 2004, through August 
31, 2005.
    \3\ The petitioners include the following companies: Carpenter 
Technology Corporation; Crucible Specialty Metals Division, Crucible 
Materials Corporation; and Electroalloy Corporation, a Division of 
G.O. Carlson, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After analyzing FSAB's submission, we have determined, in 
accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224, that we 
made a ministerial error in our final margin calculation for FSAB. 
Specifically, although we correctly converted FSAB's U.S. affiliate's 
reported U.S. inventory carrying costs as intended, we inadvertently 
did not utilize the correctly converted U.S. inventory carrying costs 
in the final margin calculation. For a detailed discussion of the 
ministerial error, as well as the Department's analysis, see the 
memorandum to James P. Maeder, Jr., Office Director, from the SSWR 
Team, dated May 2, 2007.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.224(e), we are amending the final results of the 2004-2005 
antidumping duty administrative review of the order on SSWR from 
Sweden. The revised dumping margin is as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Manufacturer/Exporter            Original Final Margin Percentage     Revised Final Margin Percentage
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fagersta Stainless AB/AB Sandvik........                               20.42                               19.36
Materials Technology/Kanthal AB.........
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department will disclose calculations performed for the amended 
final results to the parties within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment and Cash Deposit Rates

    The Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries based on the amended final results. For details on 
the calculation of importer-specific assessment rates, see Final 
Results, 72 FR 178347. The Department will issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
these amended final results of review. The Department will also notify 
CBP of the revised cash deposit rate for FSAB, effective upon 
publication of these amended final results of review. This cash deposit 
requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
    These amended final results of this administrative review and this 
notice are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(h) and 
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).

    Dated: May 2, 2007.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
