SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on carbon and
certain alloy steel wire rod from Canada
for the period October 1, 2004, to
September 30, 2005 (‘‘the POR’’). We

subject merchandise by Ivaco Rolling
Mills 2004 L.P. and Sivaco Ontario, a
division of Sivaco Wire Group 2004
L.P., (the respondents collectively refer
to themselves as ‘‘Ivaco’’) have been
made below normal value (‘‘NV’’). If
these preliminary results are adopted in
our final results, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
to assess antidumping duties on
appropriate entries. Interested parties
are invited to comment on these
preliminary results. We will issue the
final results no later than 120 days from
the publication of this notice.
In response to Ivaco’s January 12,
2006, response to the Department’s
original Section A questionnaire,
notifying the Department that the assets
of Ivaco, Inc. and all of its divisions
(e.g., Sivaco Ontario, and Sivaco
Quebec) had been purchased, the
Department is self–initiating a changed
circumstances review of the
antidumping duty order on carbon and
certain alloy steel wire rod from Canada.
EFFECTIVE DATE: November 6, 2006.
