containing by weight the following
elements in the proportions shown: (1)
0.78 percent or more of carbon, (2) less
than 0.01 percent of aluminum, (3)
0.040 percent or less, in the aggregate,
of phosphorus and sulfur, (4) 0.006
percent or less of nitrogen, and (5) not
more than 0.15 percent, in the aggregate,
of copper, nickel and chromium.
This grade 1080 tire bead quality rod
is defined as: (i) grade 1080 tire bead
quality wire rod measuring 5.5 mm or
more but not more than 7.0 mm in
cross-sectional diameter; (ii) with an
average partial decarburization of no
more than 70 microns in depth
(maximum individual 200 microns); (iii)
having no non–deformable inclusions
greater than 20 microns and no
deformable inclusions greater than 35
microns; (iv) having a carbon
segregation per heat average of 3.0 or
better using European Method NFA 04–
114; (v) having a surface quality with no
surface defects of a length greater than

0.78 percent or more of carbon, (2) less
than 0.01 percent of soluble aluminum,
(3) 0.040 percent or less, in the
aggregate, of phosphorus and sulfur, (4)
0.008 percent or less of nitrogen, and (5)
either not more than 0.15 percent, in the
aggregate, of copper, nickel and
chromium (if chromium is not
specified), or not more than 0.10 percent
in the aggregate of copper and nickel
and a chromium content of 0.24 to 0.30
percent (if chromium is specified).
For purposes of the grade 1080 tire
cord quality wire rod and the grade
1080 tire bead quality wire rod, an
inclusion will be considered to be
deformable if its ratio of length
(measured along the axis - that is, the
direction of rolling - of the rod) over

thickness (measured on the same
inclusion in a direction perpendicular
to the axis of the rod) is equal to or
greater than three. The size of an
inclusion for purposes of the 20 microns
and 35 microns limitations is the
measurement of the largest dimension
observed on a longitudinal section
measured in a direction perpendicular
to the axis of the rod. This measurement
methodology applies only to inclusions
on certain grade 1080 tire cord quality
wire rod and certain grade 1080 tire
bead quality wire rod that are entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after July 24, 2003.

The designation of the products as
‘‘tire cord quality’’ or ‘‘tire bead quality’’
indicates the acceptability of the
product for use in the production of tire
cord, tire bead, or wire for use in other
rubber reinforcement applications such
as hose wire. These quality designations
are presumed to indicate that these
products are being used in tire cord, tire
bead, and other rubber reinforcement
applications, and such merchandise
intended for the tire cord, tire bead, or
other rubber reinforcement applications
is not included in the scope. However,
should petitioners or other interested
parties provide a reasonable basis to
believe or suspect that there exists a
pattern of importation of such products
for other than those applications, end–
use certification for the importation of
such products may be required. Under
such circumstances, only the importers
of record would normally be required to
certify the end use of the imported
merchandise.
All products meeting the physical
description of subject merchandise that
are not specifically excluded are
included in this scope.
The products under the order are
currently classifiable under subheadings
7213.91.3010, 7213.91.3090,

Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Review
Based on the information provided by
Mittal, and the fact that the Department
did not receive any comments during
the comment period following the
preliminary results of this review, the
Department hereby determines Mittal is
the successor–in-interest to CIL for
antidumping duty cash deposit
purposes.
Instructions to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
suspend liquidation of all shipments of
the subject merchandise produced and
exported by Mittal entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption, on or after the publication
date of this notice at 3.61 percent (i.e.
CIL’s cash deposit rate). This deposit
rate shall remain in effect until
publication of the final results of the
ongoing administrative review, in which
Mittal/CIL is participating.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APOs) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.306. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
This notice is in accordance with
sections 751(b) and 777(i)(1) of the Act,
and section 351.216(e) of the
Department’s regulations.

from Italy and Japan pursuant to section
751(c) of the Act. See Initiation of Fiveyear (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews, 69 FR 69891
(December 1, 2004). The Department
received notices of intent to participate
from a domestic interested party, E.I.
DuPont de Nemours & Company
(‘‘DuPont’’), within the deadline
specified in section 351.218(d)(1)(i) of
the Department’s regulations. DuPont
claimed interested party status under
section 771(9)(C) of the Act as a U.S.
producer of a domestic like product. We
received a complete substantive
response from the domestic interested
party within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).
However, we did not receive responses
from any respondent interested parties.
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
conducted expedited sunset reviews of
these orders.
On April 7, 2005, the Department
extended the time limit for final results
of these sunset reviews to not later than
June 29, 2005. See Carbon Steel Butt–
