Based on this analysis, we preliminarily determine that ‘‘all other’’ exporters or producers had massive imports.15 Because we do not have verifiable shipment data from the non-cooperating mandatory respondents (i.e., those mandatory respondents that did not respond to the initial questionnaire or who otherwise indicated their unwillingness to participate in the investigation), we determined, on the basis of adverse facts available,16 that there has been a massive surge in imports. Accordingly, we preliminarily determine that the following producers/ exporters had massive surges in imports: Ningbo Baoxin, and Daming.17 Conclusion Based on the criteria and findings discussed above, we preliminarily determine that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of stainless sheet and strip shipped by Taigang, Ningbo Baoxin, Daming, and ‘‘all other’’ exporters or producers. We will issue a final determination concerning critical circumstances when we issue our final subsidy determination. All interested parties will have the opportunity to address this determination in case briefs to be submitted after completion of the preliminary CVD determination.

The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 41 days after the date of publication of these amended final results of review. For assessment purposes, the Department applied the assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012). We calculated such rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of the sales for which entered value was reported. If an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) or the exporter has a weightedaverage dumping margin that is zero or de minimis, the Department will instruct CBP to assess that importer’s entries of subject merchandise without 6 See ‘‘2012–2013 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Order on Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Mexico: Ministerial Error Allegations for Final Results’’ dated concurrently with this notice (‘‘Ministerial Errors Memorandum’’). 7 Id.

Period of Review

    The POR covered by this review is October 1, 2013, through 
September 30, 2014.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to this order is carbon and certain alloy 
steel wire rod. The product is currently classified under the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers 
7213.91.3010, 7213.91.3090, 7213.91.4510, 7213.91.4590, 7213.91.6010,

for convenience and customs purposes, the written product description 
remains dispositive.\5\

Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the Antidumping 
Administrative Review; 2012-2013'' dated May 6, 2015 (``Issues and 
Decision Memorandum'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ministerial Errors

    Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), 
defines a ``ministerial error'' as including ``errors in addition, 
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting 
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other 
unintentional error which the administering authority considers 
ministerial.'' We analyzed Nucor's and Deacero's ministerial error 
comments and determined, in accordance with section 751(h) of the Act 
and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that there were ministerial

errors in our calculation of Deacero's margin for the Final Results.

Ministerial Errors Memorandum.\6\

    In accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), 
we are amending the Final Results.\7\ The revised weighted-average

    As a result of correcting for these ministerial errors, we 
determine the following margin exists for the period October 1, 2012, 
through September 30, 2013.

Assessment Rate

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
of subject merchandise in accordance with the amended final results of 
this review. The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to 
CBP 41 days after the date of publication of these amended final 
results of review.
    For assessment purposes, the Department applied the assessment rate 
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of 
the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain 
Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 
2012).
    We calculated such rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of 
the sales for which entered value was reported. If an importer-specific 
assessment rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) or 
the exporter has a weighted-average dumping margin that is zero or de 
minimis, the Department will instruct CBP to assess that importer's 
entries of subject merchandise without regard to antidumping duties, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by a 
respondent for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined 
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction. For a full discussion of this 
assessment practice, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 
2003).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of amended final results of administrative 
review for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication of the 
amended final results of this administrative review, as provided by 
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Deacero 
will be the rate established in the amended final results of this 
administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or 
exporters not covered in this administrative review but covered in a 
prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to 
be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) 
if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, 
or the original investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period 
for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate 
for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 20.11 
percent, the all-others rate established in the investigation.\8\ These 
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
increase in antidumping duties by the amount of antidumping duties 
reimbursed.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the 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.

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed for these amended final 
results to interested parties within five business days of the date of 
publication of this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b)
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e).
