SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 31, 2007, the Department published the preliminary results 
of the antidumping duty new shipper administrative review of certain 
forged stainless steel flanges from India. See Preliminary Results. The 
review covers Micro Forge, and the POR is February 1, 2006, through 
July 31, 2006. In the Preliminary Results, we assigned Micro Forge a 
margin based on adverse facts available. We invited parties to comment. 
We received no comments.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by this order are certain forged stainless 
steel flanges, both finished and not finished, generally manufactured 
to specification ASTM A-182, and made in alloys such as 304, 304L, 316, 
and 316L. The scope includes five general types of flanges. They are 
weld-neck, used for butt-weld line connection; threaded, used for 
threaded line connections; slip-on and lap joint, used with stub-ends/
butt-weld line connections; socket weld, used to fit pipe into a 
machined recession; and blind, used to seal off a line. The sizes of 
the flanges within the scope range generally from one to six inches; 
however, all sizes of the above-described merchandise are included in 
the scope. Specifically excluded from the scope of this order are cast 
stainless steel flanges. Cast stainless steel flanges generally are 
manufactured to specification ASTM A-351. The flanges subject to this 
order are currently classifiable under subheadings 7307.21.10.00 and 
7307.21.50.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheading is provided for convenience and 
customs purposes, the written description of the merchandise under 
review is dispositive of whether or not the merchandise is covered by 
the scope of the order.

Final Results of the Review

    We determine the following percentage weighted-average margin 
exists for the period February 1, 2006, through July 31, 2006:

Liquidation

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. In this review, the Department is applying an adverse facts 
available rate of 210.00 percent to Micro Forge's U.S. sales. The 
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after the date of publication of these final results of review. We will 
direct CBP to assess the appropriate assessment rate (210 percent) 
against the entered Customs values for the subject merchandise on each 
of Micro Forge's entries under the relevant order during the POR.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication, as 
provided by section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Tariff Act): (1) for the company named above, the cash deposit 
rates will be the rate shown; (2) for previously reviewed or 
investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent 
period; (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

[[Page 58641]]

recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash 
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to 
be 162.14 percent. This rate is the ``All Others'' rate from the 
amended final determination in the LTFV investigation. See Amended 
Final Determination and Antidumping Duty Order; Certain Forged 
Stainless Steel Flanges From India, 59 FR 5994 (February 9, 1994). 
These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further 
notice.
    This notice also 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 or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. 
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in the Secretary's 
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping or countervailing duties 
occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written 
notification of the return or 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.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: October 9, 2007.

Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
