Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, the Department
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend
liquidation of all appropriate entries of
PC tie wire from the PRC as described
in the ‘‘Scope of the Investigation’’
section, which were entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after December 12,
2013, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination in the
Federal Register. Further, the
Department will instruct CBP to require
a cash deposit equal to the weightedaverage amount by which the normal
value exceeds U.S. price as follows: (1)
For the exporter/producer combination
listed in the table above, the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the
dumping margin which the Department
determined in this final determination;
(2) for all combinations of PRC
exporters/producers of merchandise
under consideration which have not
received their own separate rate above,
the cash deposit rate will be equal to the
dumping margin established for the
PRC-wide entity; and (3) for all non-PRC
exporters of merchandise under
consideration which have not received
their own separate rate above, the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the cash
deposit rate applicable to the PRC
exporter/producer combination that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
suspension-of-liquidation instructions
will remain in effect until further notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On December 12, 2013, the
Department published in the Federal
Register the preliminary determination
of sales at not less than fair value in the
antidumping duty investigation of PC
tie wire from Thailand.1 The following
events occurred since the preliminary
determination was issued.
We issued supplemental sales and
cost questionnaires to The Siam
Industrial Wire Co., Ltd. (SIW) and
received responses to these
supplemental questionnaires in
December 2013. Also, in December
2013, SIW submitted revised sales and
cost databases pursuant to the
Department’s requests.
On December 15, 2013, we received
an allegation from the petitioners that
the Department made a ministerial error

respect to the adjustment of SIW’s raw
material costs. On December 17, 2013,
SIW submitted a letter objecting to the
petitioners’ allegation. On December 18,
2013, the Department determined that
the petitioners’ allegation did not
involve a ministerial error as defined by
19 CFR 351.224(f). Accordingly, we
made no changes to our preliminary
margin calculation.
On January 6, 2014, and January 8,
2014, respectively, the petitioners and
SIW requested that the Department hold
a hearing in this investigation. On
March 12, 2014, both parties withdrew
their hearing requests.
Between January 20, 2014, and
February 7, 2014, the Department
conducted sales and cost verifications of
SIW, in accordance with section 782(i)
of the Act.2 On March 14, 2014, the
Department requested that SIW submit
revised U.S. and third-country sales
listings to reflect certain verification
findings. SIW submitted the revised
sales listings on March 21, 2014.
On March 20, 2014, and March 27,
2014, the petitioners and SIW submitted
case and rebuttal briefs, respectively.

Mission Description
The United States Department of
Commerce, International Trade
Administration is organizing an
Executive-led Business Development
Mission to Morocco, Algeria and Egypt
with an optional stop in Lebanon,
March 4–12, 2015. The purpose of this
mission is to help U.S. firms in the
safety and security industry find
business partners and sell products and
services in North Africa. The targeted
sector for participation in this Business
Development Mission is safety and
security, including U.S.-based
manufacturers of safety and security
equipment, U.S. based providers of
safety and security services, and U.S.
trade associations promoting U.S. safety
and security products and services.
The mission will include stops in
Rabat and Casablanca, Morocco; Algiers,
Algeria; and Cairo, Egypt, where
participants will receive market
briefings and participate in customized
meetings with key officials and
prospective partners. There will be an
optional stop in Beirut, Lebanon. The
mission supports President Obama’s
National Export Initiative (NEI) to
strengthen the U.S. economy and U.S.
competitiveness through meaningful job
creation. The mission will help U.S.
companies already doing business in
Morocco, Algeria and Egypt increase
their footprint and deepen their
business interests.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:56 May 02, 2014
Jkt 232001
The mission will help participating
firms and associations gain market
insights, make industry contacts,
solidify business strategies, and advance
specific projects, with the goal of
increasing U.S. exports of products and
services to Morocco, Algeria and Egypt.
The mission will include one-on-one
business appointments with prescreened potential buyers, agents,
distributors and joint venture partners;
meetings with state and local
government officials and industry
leaders; and networking events.
Participating in an official U.S. industry
delegation, rather than traveling to
Morocco, Algeria and Egypt on their
own, will enhance the companies’
ability to secure meetings in Morocco,
Algeria and Egypt.
All safety and security companies,
including U.S.-based manufacturers of
safety and security equipment, U.S.
based providers of safety and security
services, and U.S. trade associations
promoting U.S. products and services in
the safety and security sector, are
encouraged to apply.
Commercial Overview
U.S. companies specializing in safety
and security technologies and solutions
will find burgeoning opportunities in
North Africa, particularly in Morocco,
Algeria, and Egypt. These countries
represent the top three export markets
for U.S. companies in North Africa.
Morocco, Algeria and Egypt also have a
wide variety of critical tourism,
logistics, transportation, and energy
infrastructure platforms and assets that
are essential for ongoing economic
growth and stability which must be
protected. All three markets also
maintain long, remote borders, where
arms, illicit goods trading and terrorist
and criminal elements have been known
to pass with relative ease, which in light
of ongoing instability in the region, have
dramatically increased the need and
interest by all three governments in a
wide variety of U.S. border monitoring
and protection solutions, equipment,
and expertise.
Long standing and close bilateral
cooperation between the U.S.
Government and the governments of
Morocco, Algeria and Egypt in a number
of areas including drug trafficking,
terrorism, international crime, and
defense set a positive tone and provide
a strong foundation upon which U.S.
safety and security sector firms can find
commercial success.
The Government of Morocco, for
instance, works closely with the U.S.
Government in customs and port
security, defense cooperation, and drug
trafficking. As the country aspires to
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
become the region’s leading
manufacturing and re-export hub
between Europe and West Africa,
Moroccan agencies increasingly seek
protection solutions for the Tanger Med
port, railways, and ports. As a major
international tourism destination,
Morocco’s economy greatly depends on
hard currency derived from the tourism
industry and therefore the government
is constantly seeking upgrades to
immigration processing, luggage
handling, bomb detection and intrusion
prevention solutions for tourism
facilities throughout the country.
Algeria, a country which is all too
familiar with internal unrest and
terrorism, is ever vigilant in controlling
internal terrorist elements and cross
border security threats, and in light of
the deadly In Amenas terrorist attack on
a remote drilling site in the south of the
country in January 2013, the country is
extremely cognizant of the ongoing
threats to its extensive oil and gas field
infrastructure. U.S. safety and security
firms have historically done very well in
the Algerian market despite the
country’s overall gravitation towards
Europe, and Algeria is keen on
procuring new, cutting edge U.S.
solutions.
Egypt likewise expects to witness an
increase in demand for safety and
security products and services over the
next few years. The Egyptian
government has set an objective to
dramatically enhance its safety
measures, which will require security
upgrades of all the airports, seaports,
and public facilities. The Ministry of
Interior is doing its best to create new
horizons for investment in security
technology within the Egyptian market
and companies with a reputation for
cutting-edge technologies will have an
advantage.
The Business Development Mission
will include one-on-one business
appointments with pre-screened
potential buyers, agents, distributors
and joint venture partners; meetings
with national and regional government
officials, chambers of commerce, and
business groups; and networking
receptions for companies interested in
expansion into the North African
markets. Meetings will be offered with
government authorities that can address
questions about policies, tariff rates,
incentives, regulation, etc.

examined company is de minimis, we are not directing U.S. Customs and
Border Protection to suspend liquidation of entries of PC tie wire from
Thailand.
ITC Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we notified the ITC
of our final determination. As our final determination is negative,
this proceeding is terminated.
Return or Destruction of Proprietary Information
This notice will serve as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility

APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this determination and notice in
accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: April 28, 2014.
