(collectively, Venus), effective 02/01/2010 (see 76 FR 56401; see also message number 1272302, dated 09/29/2011). However, on 10/18/2017, Commerce published in the Federal Register (82 FR 48483) the preliminary results of changed circumstances review and intent to reinstate both Viraj and Venus in the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from India. 2. Commerce preliminarily determined that Viraj and Venus both resumed selling stainless steel bar from India at less than normal value, contrary to the conditions placed on their original revocation. As a result of Commerce's preliminary results, Viraj and Venus are preliminarily reinstated in the antidumping duty order. Accordingly, CBP shall suspend liquidation of shipments of stainless steel bar from India for the producers and/or exporters identified below and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 10/18/2017, and require a cash deposit equal to the margins shown below: Producer and/or Exporter: Viraj Profìles Ltd.

Ltd., and/or its affiliates Hindustan Inox, Precision Metals Sieves Manufacturers (India) Pvt. Ltd. Case number: A-533-810-025 Cash deposit rate: 30.92% 3. If any entries of this merchandise are exported by a firm other than the producer, then the following instructions apply: A. If the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have its own rate but the producer has its own rate, the cash deposit or bonding rate will be the producer's rate. B. Where neither the exporter nor the producer has its own rate or the producer is unknown, use the all-others rate of 12.45 percent to establish the cash deposit rate. 4. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice. Do not liquidate any entries of merchandise subject to this changed circumstances review until assessment instructions are issued. 5.
