    Background

    On February 21, 1995, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD order on SS Bar from India. On August 13, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of this NSR, wherein we determined that Welspun's sales were bona fide transactions and were not made below NV. We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. No interested parties submitted comments. Accordingly, Commerce made no changes to the Preliminary Results and no decision memorandum accompanies this notice. On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by seven days. The deadline for the final results is now October 30, 2024. Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
