Stainless Steel Wire Rods From India: Continuation of the 
Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the U.S. Department of 
Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) 
that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) order on stainless steel 
wire rods (SSWR) from India would likely lead to a continuation or 
recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United 
States, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of this AD 
order.

DATES: Applicable January 5, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Williams or Minoo Hatten, 
AD/CVD Operations, Office I, Enforcement and Compliance, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution 
Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5166 or (202) 
482-1690, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On December 1, 1993, Commerce published in the Federal Register the 
AD order on SSWR from India.\1\ On May 2, 2022, Commerce initiated,\2\ 
and the ITC instituted,\3\ a sunset review of the Order, pursuant to 
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Stainless 
Steel Wire Rods from India, 58 FR 63335 (December 1, 1993) (Order).
    \2\ See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews, 87 FR 25617 
(May 2, 2022).
    \3\ See Stainless Steel Wire Rod from India; Institution of a 
Five-Year Review, 87 FR 25671 (May 2, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of its review, Commerce determined, pursuant to 
sections 751(c)(1) and 752(c) of the Act, that revocation of the Order 
would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. Commerce, 
therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins of dumping 
rates likely to prevail should this Order be revoked.\4\ On December 
27, 2022, the ITC published its determination that revocation of the 
Order would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material 
injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably 
foreseeable time, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act.\5\

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the Order are SSWR from India. SSWR are 
products which are hot-rolled or hot-rolled annealed and/or pickled 
rounds, squares, octagons, hexagons or other shapes, in coils. SSWR are 
made of alloy steels containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or less of 
carbon and 10.5 percent or more of chromium, with or without other 
elements. These products are only manufactured by hot-rolling and are 
normally sold in coiled form, and are of solid cross-section. The 
majority of SSWR sold in the United States are round in cross-section 
shape, annealed and pickled. The most common size is 5.5 millimeters in 
diameter.
    This merchandise is currently classifiable under subheadings 
7221.00.0005, 7221.00.0017, 7221.00.0018, 7221.00.0020, 7221.00.0030, 
7221.00.0040, 7221.00.0045, 7221.00.0060, 7221.00.0075, and 
7221.00.0080 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS). The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs 
purposes. The written description remains dispositive.

Continuation of the Order

    As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that 
revocation of the Order would likely lead to a continuation or 
recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United 
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a), 
Commerce hereby orders the continuation of the Order. U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection will continue to collect AD cash deposits at the 
rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of subject 
merchandise.
    The effective date of the continuation of the Order will be the 
date of publication in the Federal Register of this notice of 
continuation. Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to initiate the next five-year (sunset) 
review of the Order not later than 30 days prior to the fifth 
anniversary of the effective date of continuation.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 
an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return, destruction, or conversion to judicial 
protective order of proprietary information disclosed under APO in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Failure to comply is a violation 
of the APO which may be subject to sanctions.
