useful in comparing the mix of taxes
employed by individual states, and in
determining the revenue raising
capacity of different types of taxes in
different state-areas.
Key users of these data include the
Bureau of Economic Analysis, the
Federal Reserve Board, the Department

SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
orders on stainless steel wire rod
(SSWR) from Italy, Japan, the Republic
of Korea (Korea), Spain, and Taiwan
would likely lead to a continuation or
recurrence of dumping and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, the Department is publishing a
notice of continuation of the
antidumping duty orders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 1, 2009, the Department
published the notice of initiation of the
sunset reviews of the antidumping duty
orders on SSWR from Italy, Japan,
Korea, Spain, and Taiwan pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act). See Initiation of
Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Review, 74 FR
31412 (July 1, 2009).
As a result of its reviews, the
Department determined that revocation
of the antidumping duty orders on
SSWR from Italy, Japan, Korea, Spain,
and Taiwan would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail should the orders be revoked.

The merchandise covered by these
orders is SSWR, which comprises
products that are hot–rolled or hot–
rolled annealed and/or pickled and/or
descaled rounds, squares, octagons,
hexagons or other shapes, in coils, that
may also be coated with a lubricant
containing copper, lime, or oxalate.
SSWR is made of alloy steels
containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or
less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more
of chromium, with or without other
elements. These products are
manufactured only by hot–rolling or
hot–rolling, annealing, and/or pickling
and/or descaling, are normally sold in
coiled form, and are of solid crosssection. The majority of SSWR sold in
the United States is round in crosssectional shape, annealed and pickled,
and later cold–finished into stainless
steel wire or small–diameter bar.
The most common size for such
products is 5.5 millimeters or 0.217
inches in diameter, which represents
the smallest size that normally is
produced on a rolling mill and is the
size that most wire–drawing machines
are set up to draw. The range of SSWR
sizes normally sold in the United States
is between 0.20 inches and 1.312 inches
diameter. Two stainless steel grades,
SF20T and K–M35FL, are excluded
from the scope of the orders. The
chemical makeup for the excluded
grades is as follows:

7221.00.0045, and 7221.00.0075 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these
orders is dispositive.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of these determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
orders would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
antidumping duty orders on SSWR from
Italy, Japan, Korea, Spain, and Taiwan.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will
continue to collect antidumping duty
cash deposits at the rates in effect at the
time of entry for all imports of subject
merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation
of the orders will be the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
this notice of continuation. Pursuant to
section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the
Department intends to initiate the next
five-year reviews of the orders not later
than 30 days prior to the fifth
anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
These five-year (sunset) reviews and
this notice are in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Case History
On January 15, 2010, the Department
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary results of this new shipper
review of the antidumping duty order
on certain steel nails from the PRC. See
Certain Steel Nails from the People’s
Republic of China: Notice of Preliminary
Results of the New Shipper Review, 75
FR 2483 (January 15, 2010)
(‘‘Preliminary Results’’). Since the
Preliminary Results, the following
events have occurred.
On February 12, 2010, the Department
issued a memorandum that uniformly
extended all Import Administration
deadlines by seven days. See
Memorandum to the Record from
Ronald Lorentzen, DAS for Import
Administration, regarding Tolling of
Administrative Deadlines as a Result of
the Government Closure During the
Recent Snowstorm, dated February 12,
2010. On April 21, 2009, the
Department published the extension of
the time limit for completion of the final
results of this new shipper review by 60
days. See Certain Steel Nails from the
People’s Republic of China: Extension of
Time Limit for the Final Results of the
First New Shipper Review, 75 FR 14423
(March 25, 2010).
On January 13, 2010, the Department
issued a supplemental questionnaire to
Qingdao Denarius, in which we asked
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

for documentation to support that
Qingdao Denarius’ U.S. customer during
the period of review (‘‘POR’’) re–sold the
subject merchandise bought from
Qingdao Denarius for a profit. On
January 26, 2010, Qingdao Denarius
submitted its response. Qingdao
Denarius and Petitioner submitted their
case briefs on February 16, 2010, and
March 8, 2010, respectively, and on
March 18, 2010 Qingdao Denarius and
Petitioner submitted rebuttal briefs.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this
proceeding includes certain steel nails
having a shaft length up to 12 inches.
Certain steel nails include, but are not
limited to, nails made of round wire and
nails that are cut. Certain steel nails may
be of one piece construction or
constructed of two or more pieces.
Certain steel nails may be produced
from any type of steel, and have a
variety of finishes, heads, shanks, point
types, shaft lengths and shaft diameters.
Finishes include, but are not limited to,
coating in vinyl, zinc (galvanized,
whether by electroplating or hot–
dipping one or more times), phosphate
cement, and paint. Head styles include,
but are not limited to, flat, projection,
cupped, oval, brad, headless, double,
countersunk, and sinker. Shank styles
include, but are not limited to, smooth,
barbed, screw threaded, ring shank and
fluted shank styles. Screw–threaded
nails subject to this proceeding are
driven using direct force and not by
turning the fastener using a tool that
engages with the head. Point styles
include, but are not limited to,
diamond, blunt, needle, chisel and no
point. Finished nails may be sold in
bulk, or they may be collated into strips
or coils using materials such as plastic,
paper, or wire. Certain steel nails
subject to this proceeding are currently
classified under the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’) subheadings 7317.00.55,
7317.00.65 and 7317.00.75.
Excluded from the scope of this
proceeding are roofing nails of all
lengths and diameter, whether collated
or in bulk, and whether or not
galvanized. Steel roofing nails are
specifically enumerated and identified
in ASTM Standard F 1667 (2005
revision) as Type I, Style 20 nails. Also
excluded from the scope of this
proceeding are corrugated nails. A
corrugated nail is made of a small strip
of corrugated steel with sharp points on
one side. Also excluded from the scope
of this proceeding are fasteners suitable
for use in powder–actuated hand tools,
not threaded and threaded, which are
currently classified under HTSUS
