subject merchandise exported by
Baoding Mantong, the cash deposit rate
will be that established in the final
results of review; (2) for previously

company specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all other PRC

(including Nantong Dongchang), which
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC wide rate of 155.89 percent;
(4) for all non–PRC exporters of subject

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of

occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

SUMMARY: On December 1, 2008, the

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’).
See Initiation of Five–Year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Reviews, 73 FR 72770 (December 1,
2008). On the basis of a notice of intent
to participate and an adequate
substantive response filed on behalf of
domestic interested parties and an
inadequate response (in this case, no

parties, the Department decided to
conduct an expedited sunset review of
this CVD order pursuant to section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B). As a result of this
review, the Department finds that
revocation of the CVD order would be
likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of a countervailable subsidy
at the level indicated in the ‘‘Final
Results of Review’’ section of this
notice.
EFFECTIVE DATE: April 8, 2009.

order on PC strand from India pursuant
to section 751(c) of the Act. See
Initiation of Five–Year (‘‘Sunset’’)
Reviews, 73 FR 72770 (December 1,
2008). The Department received a notice
of intent to participate on behalf of
American Spring Wire Corp., Insteel
Wire Products Company, and Sumiden
Wire Products Corporation (collectively,
‘‘petitioners’’), within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).
The petitioners claimed interested party
status under section 771(9)(C) of the
Act, as domestic producers of PC strand.
The Department received a complete
substantive response from the
petitioners within the 30–day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).
However, the Department did not
receive a substantive response from any
respondent interested party to this
proceeding. 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 an expedited
review of this order.

The Department received a complete substantive response from the
petitioners within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i). However, the Department did not receive a substantive

The merchandise under this order is currently classifiable under
