SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—The final phase of
these investigations is being scheduled
as a result of affirmative preliminary
determinations by the Department of
Commerce that prestressed concrete
steel rail tie wire from China and
Mexico are being sold in the United
States at less than fair value within the
meaning of section 733 of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1673b). The investigations were
requested in a petition filed on April 23,
2013, by Davis Wire Corp. of Kent,
Washington and Insteel Wire Product
Co. of Mount Airy, North Carolina.
Although the Department of
Commerce has preliminarily determined
that imports of prestressed concrete
steel rail tie wire from Thailand are not
being and are not likely to be sold in the
United States at less than fair value, for
purposes of efficiency the Commission
hereby waives rule 207.21(b) 2 so that
the final phase of the investigation may
proceed concurrently in the event that
Commerce makes a final affirmative
determination with respect to such
imports.
Participation in the investigations and
public service list.—Persons, including
industrial users of the subject
merchandise and, if the merchandise is
sold at the retail level, representative
consumer organizations, wishing to
participate in the final phase of these
investigations as parties must file an
entry of appearance with the Secretary
to the Commission, as provided in
section 201.11 of the Commission’s
rules, no later than 21 days prior to the
hearing date specified in this notice. A
party that filed a notice of appearance
during the preliminary phase of the
investigations need not file an
additional notice of appearance during
this final phase. The Secretary will
maintain a public service list containing
the names and addresses of all persons,
2 Section 207.21(b) of the Commission’s rules
provides that, where the Department of Commerce
has issued a negative preliminary determination,
the Commission will publish a Final Phase Notice
of Scheduling upon receipt of an affirmative final
determination from Commerce.
