1. Commerce has published in the Federal Register (88 FR 14125) on 03/07/2023 the final results of its administrative review of certain producers/exporters subject to the antidumping duty order on stainless steel flanges from India for the period 10/01/2020 through 09/30/2021. 2. As a result of Commerce's review, the cash deposit rates have been revised for certain companies. Therefore, for shipments of stainless steel flanges from India produced and/or exported by the firms listed below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 03/07/2023, the required cash deposit has been revised: Producer and/or Exporter: Chandan Steel Limited Case number: A-533-877-001 Cash deposit rate: 0.65% Producer and/or Exporter: BFN Forgings Private Limited; Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited; Viraj Impoexpo, Ltd.; Bebitz USA, Inc.

Commerce has previously found this company to be part of a single entity comprised of the above-referenced companies, which are subject to the same case number (see 83 FR 40745).

If the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have its own rate but the producer has its own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the producer's rate. C. Where neither the exporter nor the producer currently has its own rate or the producer is unknown, use the all-others rate for establishing the cash deposit rate. 4. For all producers/exporters of stainless steel flanges from India without their own rate, the cash deposit rate is 7.00 percent. 5.
