Mexico, Moldova, Trinidad and Tobago, and Ukraine: Final Results of the
Expedited Second Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orders
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, formerly Import Administration,
International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On June 3, 2013, the Department of Commerce (``the
Department'') published the initiation of the second sunset reviews of
the antidumping duty orders on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod
(``wire rod'') from Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, Trinidad and
Tobago, and Ukraine pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (``the Act''). As a result of its analysis, the
Department finds that revocation of these AD orders would be likely to
lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the margins indicated
in the ``Final Results of Sunset Reviews'' section of this notice.
DATES: Effective Date: October 24, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 3, 2013, the Department published the notice of initiation
of the sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on wire rod from
Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, Trinidad and Tobago, and Ukraine,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Five-Year
(``Sunset'') Reviews, 78 FR 33063 (June 3, 2013) (``Notice of
Initiation''). The Department received a notice of intent to
participate from the following domestic parties: Schnitzer Steel
Industries, Inc., DBA Cascade Steel Rolling Mills, Inc.; Arcelor Mittal
USA LLC; \1\ Evraz Rocky Mountain Steel Mills; Gerdau Ameristeel U.S.
Inc.; Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc.; and Nucor Corporation
within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). Each of the
companies claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of
the Act as a producer in the United States of a domestic like product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Arcelor Mittal USA LLC is not participating in the sunset
review of the antidumping duty order on wire rod from Trinidad and
Tobago.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 2, 2013, the Department received adequate substantive
responses from the domestic interested parties identified above within
the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\2\ The
Department received no responses from respondent interested parties
with respect to any of the orders covered by these sunset reviews. As a
result, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department has conducted expedited (120-
day) sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on wire rod from
Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, Trinidad and Tobago, and Ukraine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Gerdau Ameristeel U.S. Inc. reported that it is a subsidiary
of Gerdau Ameristeel Corp., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Gerdau S.A. of Brazil. Evraz Rocky Mountain Steel reported that it
is doing business as CF&I Steel LP, which is majority-owned by Evraz
Inc. NA and that Evraz Inc. NA is wholly-owned by the Evraz Group,
S.A. of Russia. ArcelorMittal USA reported that it is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ArcelorMittal S.A., a company headquartered in
Luxembourg. Pursuant to section 771(4)(B) of the Act, a domestic
interested party may be excluded from participating as part of the
domestic industry if it is related to an exporter of subject
merchandise. In these sunset reviews, even if we excluded these
three parties from participating as part of the domestic industry,
there would still be sufficient participation by other domestic
interested parties to merit sunset reviews of the orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise subject to these orders is certain hot-rolled
products of carbon steel and alloy steel, in coils, of approximately
round cross section, 5.00 mm or more, but less than 19.00 mm, in solid
cross-sectional diameter. The full
[[Page 63451]]
scope language of each of the antidumping duty orders is listed in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, to Paul
Piquado, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, dated
concurrently with this notice (``Issues and Decision Memorandum''),
which is hereby adopted by this notice.
The merchandise is currently classifiable under the following
subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(``HTSUS''): 7213.91.3011, 7213.91.3015, 7213.91.3020, 7213.91.3093,
7213.91.4500, 7213.91.6000, 7213.99.0030, 7213.99.0060, 7213.99.0090,
7227.20.0030, 7227.20.0080, 7227.90.6010, 7227.90.6020, and
7227.90.6085 of the HTSUS. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the
scope of these orders is dispositive.
