Background
On October 29, 2002, the Department

antidumping duty order on wire rod
from Mexico.1 On May 19, 2016, the
Department published its final results of
the 2013–2014 administrative review of
the Order, in which it assigned AMLT
a 2.59 percent dumping margin.2 On
August 15, 2017, AMM, a foreign
producer of the subject merchandise,
requested that the Department initiate
and conduct a changed circumstance
review to determine that AMM is the
successor-in-interest to AMLT for the
purposes of the Order.3 On September
12, 2017, AMM filed a letter stating it
conferred with counsel for interested
parties to this proceeding, specifically,
counsel for Nucor Corporation, counsel
for Gerdau Ameristeel USA, Charter
Steel, and Keystone Steel, and counsel
for Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Deacero
USA (a group which included domestic
interested parties/petitioners to the
Order), at which time they stated they
would not oppose the August 15, 2017,
request.4 AMM further requested that
the Department initiate and conduct an
expedited changed circumstances
review.5

Order is carbon and certain alloy steel
wire rod. The product is currently
classified under the Harmonized Tariff

Initiation of Changed Circumstances
Review
Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and the Department’s regulations (19
CFR 351.216 and 351.221(c)(3)), the
Department will conduct a changed
circumstances review upon receipt of
information concerning, or a request
from an interested party for a review of,
an order which shows changed
circumstances sufficient to warrant a
review of the order. Generally, in the
past, the Department has used CCRs to
address the applicability of cash deposit
rates after there have been changes in
the name or structure of a respondent,
such as a merger or spinoff (i.e.,
successor-in-interest, or successorship
determinations).7
