(3) 0.040 percent or less, in the
aggregate, of phosphorus and sulfur, (4)
0.008 percent or less of nitrogen, and (5)
either not more than 0.15 percent, in the
aggregate, of copper, nickel and
chromium (if chromium is not
specified), or not more than 0.10 percent
in the aggregate of copper and nickel
and a chromium content of 0.24 to 0.30
percent (if chromium is specified).
For purposes of the grade 1080 tire
cord quality wire rod and the grade
1080 tire bead quality wire rod, an
inclusion will be considered to be
deformable if its ratio of length
(measured along the axis—that is, the
direction of rolling—of the rod) over
thickness (measured on the same
inclusion in a direction perpendicular
to the axis of the rod) is equal to or
greater than three. The size of an
inclusion for purposes of the 20 microns
and 35 microns limitations is the
measurement of the largest dimension
observed on a longitudinal section
measured in a direction perpendicular
to the axis of the rod. This measurement
methodology applies only to inclusions
on certain grade 1080 tire cord quality
wire rod and certain grade 1080 tire
bead quality wire rod that are entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after July 24, 2003.
The designation of the products as
‘‘tire cord quality’’ or ‘‘tire bead quality’’
indicates the acceptability of the
product for use in the production of tire
cord, tire bead, or wire for use in other
rubber reinforcement applications such
as hose wire. These quality designations
are presumed to indicate that these
products are being used in tire cord, tire
bead, and other rubber reinforcement
applications, and such merchandise
intended for the tire cord, tire bead, or
other rubber reinforcement applications
is not included in the scope. However,
should the petitioners or other
interested parties provide a reasonable
basis to believe or suspect that there
exists a pattern of importation of such
products for other than those
applications, end-use certification for
the importation of such products may be
required. Under such circumstances,
only the importers of record would
normally be required to certify the end
use of the imported merchandise.
All products meeting the physical
description of subject merchandise that
are not specifically excluded are
included in this scope.
The products subject to these orders
are currently classifiable under

On October 1, 2012, the Department
published its final determination of
circumvention, finding that shipments
of wire rod with an actual diameter of
4.75 mm to 5.00 mm produced in
Mexico and exported to the United
States by Deacero S.A. de C.V.
constitute merchandise altered in form
or appearance in such minor respects
that it should be included within the
scope of the order on wire rod from
Mexico.4
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the USITC that
revocation of these AD and CVD orders
would likely lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping or a
countervailable subsidy, and material
injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to sections 751(c) and
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
AD orders on wire rod from Brazil,
Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, and
Trinidad and Tobago and the CVD order
on wire rod from Brazil.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
will continue to collect 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
these orders is 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
review of these orders not later than 30
days prior to the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of the continuation.
These five-year (sunset) reviews and
notice are in accordance with section
751(c) of the Act and published
pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).

Mexico, Moldova, and Trinidad and Tobago: Continuation of Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Orders
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the ``Department'') determined
that revocation of the antidumping duty (``AD'') orders on carbon and
certain alloy steel wire rod (``wire rod'') from Brazil, Indonesia,
Mexico, Moldova, and Trinidad and Tobago would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping, and that revocation of the
countervailing duty (``CVD'') order on wire rod from Brazil would
likely lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (the ``USITC'') also determined
that revocation of these AD and CVD orders would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the
United States. The Department is publishing this notice of the
continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

(4) 0.008 percent or less of nitrogen, and (5) either not more than
0.15 percent, in the aggregate, of copper, nickel and chromium (if
chromium is not specified), or not more than 0.10 percent in the
aggregate of copper and nickel and a chromium content of 0.24 to 0.30
percent (if chromium is specified).
For purposes of the grade 1080 tire cord quality wire rod and the
grade 1080 tire bead quality wire rod, an inclusion will be considered
to be deformable if its ratio of length (measured along the axis--that
is, the direction of rolling--of the rod) over thickness (measured on
the same inclusion in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rod)
is equal to or greater than three. The size of an inclusion for
purposes of the 20 microns and 35 microns limitations is the
measurement of the largest dimension observed on a longitudinal section
measured in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rod. This
measurement methodology applies only to inclusions on certain grade
1080 tire cord quality wire rod and certain grade 1080 tire bead
quality wire rod that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after July 24, 2003.
The designation of the products as ``tire cord quality'' or ``tire
bead quality'' indicates the acceptability of the product for use in
the production of tire cord, tire bead, or wire for use in other rubber
reinforcement applications such as hose wire. These quality
designations are presumed to indicate that these products are being
used in tire cord, tire bead, and other rubber reinforcement
applications, and such merchandise intended for the tire cord, tire
bead, or other rubber reinforcement applications is not included in the
scope. However, should the petitioners or other interested parties

pattern of importation of such products for other than those
applications, end-use certification for the importation of such
products may be required. Under such circumstances, only the importers
of record would normally be required to certify the end use of the
imported merchandise.
All products meeting the physical description of subject
merchandise that are not specifically excluded are included in this
scope.

On October 1, 2012, the Department published its final
determination of circumvention, finding that shipments of wire rod with
an actual diameter of 4.75 mm to 5.00 mm produced in Mexico and
exported to the United States by Deacero S.A. de C.V. constitute
merchandise altered in form or appearance in such minor respects that
it should be included within the scope of the order on wire rod from
Mexico.\4\

Affirmative Final Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping
Order, 77 FR 59892 (October 1, 2012). Deacero appealed the
Department's final determination, and the case is currently pending.
See Deacero S.A. de C.V., et al. v. United States, Ct. No. 12-345
(Ct. Int'l Trade).

Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by the Department and the USITC
that revocation of these AD and CVD orders would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping or a countervailable subsidy, and
material injury to an industry in the United States, pursuant to
sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department hereby orders
the continuation of the AD orders on wire rod from Brazil, Indonesia,
Mexico, Moldova, and Trinidad and Tobago and the CVD order on wire rod
from Brazil.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect 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 these
orders is 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 review of these
orders not later than 30 days prior to the fifth anniversary of the
effective date of the continuation.
These five-year (sunset) reviews and notice are in accordance with
section 751(c) of the Act and published pursuant to section 777(i)(1)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
Dated: June 27, 2014.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
