from wire of non-stainless, nongalvanized steel, which is suitable for
use in prestressed concrete (both pretensioned and post-tensioned)
applications. The product definition
encompasses covered and uncovered
strand and all types, grades, and
diameters of PC strand.
The merchandise under this order is
currently classifiable under subheadings

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for

exporters at a net countervailable
subsidy rate of 62.92 percent.

Timely notification of return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On December 19, 2014, the
Department published the Preliminary
Results of the administrative review.
The Department gave interested parties
an opportunity to comment on the
Preliminary Results. None were
received. The Department conducted
this review in accordance with section
751(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is SSB. The term SSB with respect to the
order means articles of stainless steel in
straight lengths that have been either
hot-rolled, forged, turned, cold-drawn,
cold-rolled or otherwise cold-finished,
or ground, having a uniform solid cross
section along their whole length in the
shape of circles, segments of circles,
ovals, rectangles (including squares),
triangles, hexagons, octagons or other
convex polygons. SSB includes coldfinished SSBs that are turned or ground
in straight lengths, whether produced
from hot-rolled bar or from straightened
and cut rod or wire, and reinforcing bars
that have indentations, ribs, grooves, or
other deformations produced during the
rolling process. Except as specified
above, the term does not include
stainless steel semi-finished products,
cut-length flat-rolled products (i.e., cutlength rolled products which if less than
4.75 mm in thickness have a width
measuring at least 10 times the
thickness, or if 4.75 mm or more in
thickness having a width which exceeds
150 mm and measures at least twice the
thickness), wire (i.e., cold-formed
products in coils, of any uniform solid
cross section along their whole length,
which do not conform to the definition
of flat-rolled products), and angles,
shapes and sections. The SSB subject to
the order is currently classifiable under

7222.19.00, 7222.20.00, 7222.30.00 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 the
order is dispositive.
Final Results of Review
The Department made no changes to
its calculations announced in the
Preliminary Results. As a result of this
review, we determine that a weightedaverage dumping margin of 0.00 percent
exists for Villares for the period
February 1, 2013, through January 31,
2014.
Assessment
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212
and the Final Modification,2 the
Department will instruct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate
all appropriate entries for Villares
without regard to antidumping duties.
Consistent with the Department’s
refinement to its assessment practice,
for entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Villares for
which it did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate un-reviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.3
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
