December 8, 2017, Commerce received
timely filed case briefs from Deacero,
and Nucor Corporation (Nucor).2 On
December 20, 2017, Commerce received
timely filed rebuttal briefs from both
Deacero and Nucor.
Commerce has exercised its discretion
to toll all deadlines affected by the
duration of the closure of the Federal
Government from January 20 through
22, 2018.3 Additionally, on February 27,
2018, Commerce postponed the final
results of this review by 30 days until
April 11, 2018.4
Based on an analysis of the comments
received, Commerce has made changes
to the calculated weighted-average
dumping margin determined for
Deacero. Commerce has listed the final
calculated weighted-average dumping
margin in the ‘‘Final Results of
Administrative Review’’ section below.
Scope of the Order 5
The product covered by the order is
wire rod, in coils, of approximately
round cross section, 5.00 mm or more,
but less than 19.00 mm, in solid crosssectional diameter.6 The subject

adopted by this notice (Issues and Decision
Memorandum).
6 On October 1, 2012, Commerce determined that
Deacero’s shipments to the United States of narrow
gauge wire rod (4.75 mm to 5.00 mm) (narrow gauge
wire rod) 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. See Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel
Wire Rod from Mexico: Affirmative Final
Determination of Circumvention of the
Antidumping Order, 77 FR 59892 (October 1, 2012)
and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit upheld this determination. See
Deacero S.A. de C.V. v. United States, 817 F.3d
1332, 1339 (Fed. Cir. 2016). Because there were no
changes to the facts which supported that decision
since that determination, we continue to find
Deacero’s narrow gauge wire rod (4.75 mm to 5.00
mm) subject merchandise.

Analysis of Comments Received
Commerce has addressed the issues
raised by Deacero and Nucor in their
case and rebuttal briefs in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum. Commerce has
identified and listed these issues in the
Appendix to this notice. Because the
Issues and Decision Memorandum is a
public document, parties can find a
complete discussion of these issues and
the corresponding recommendations
filed electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov and in the
Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the
main Department of Commerce
building. Additionally, parties can
access a complete version of the Issues
and Decision Memorandum directly on
the internet at http://trade.gov/
enforcement/frn/index.html. The signed
Issues and Decision Memorandum and
electronic versions of the Issues and

content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the case brief and rebuttal
comments received from Deacero and
Nucor, we made changes to our rate
calculation for Deacero. For a discussion
of these issues, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we
preliminarily found that AMLT had no
E:\FR\FM\17APN1.SGM
17APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 74 / Tuesday, April 17, 2018 / Notices
shipments during the POR.7 Because
there has not been any contradictory
information added to the record of this
review since the Preliminary Results,
based on record evidence, Commerce
continues to find that AMLT did not
ship subject merchandise during the
POR. Accordingly, consistent with
Commerce’s practice, we intend to
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate any
existing entries of subject merchandise
made during the POR that were
produced by AMLT, but exported by
other parties without their own rate, at
the all-others rate effective during the
POR.8
Final Results of Administrative Review
Commerce finds that the following
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin exists during the POR, as
referenced below:
Weightedaverage
dumping
margin
(percent)
Producer/exporter
Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V ............
12.57
Assessment and Cash Deposit
Requirements
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce intends to
issue appropriate instructions to CBP 41
days after publication of the final results
of this review.9
For Deacero, because its weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
Commerce has calculated importerspecific antidumping duty assessment
rates. We calculated importer-specific
ad valorem antidumping duty
assessment rates by aggregating the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
examined sales of each importer and
dividing each of these amounts by the
total entered value associated with those
sales. We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review where an
importer-specific assessment rate is not
zero or de minimis. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties any entries for which the

importer-specific assessment rate is zero

As noted in the ‘‘Final Determination
of No Shipments’’ section, above,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
any existing entries of merchandise
produced by AMLT but exported by
other parties, at the rate for the
intermediate reseller, if available, or at
the all-others rate.
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of 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 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 final results of this
administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers 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 producer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producer or exporters
will continue to be 20.11 percent, the
all-others rate established in the
investigation.10 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties has occurred and
the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary

proprietary information in this segment
of 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

which is subject to sanction.

The product covered by the order is wire rod, in coils, of
approximately round cross section, 5.00 mm or more, but less than 19.00

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ On October 1, 2012, Commerce determined that Deacero's
shipments to the United States of narrow gauge wire rod (4.75 mm to
5.00 mm) (narrow gauge wire rod) 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. See Carbon
and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Mexico: Affirmative Final
Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping Order, 77 FR 59892
(October 1, 2012) and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld this
determination. See Deacero S.A. de C.V. v. United States, 817 F.3d
1332, 1339 (Fed. Cir. 2016). Because there were no changes to the
facts which supported that decision since that determination, we
continue to find Deacero's narrow gauge wire rod (4.75 mm to 5.00
mm) subject merchandise.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the case brief and rebuttal comments received from Deacero

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we preliminarily found that AMLT had no
[[Page 16833]]
shipments during the POR.\7\ Because there has not been any
contradictory information added to the record of this review since the
Preliminary Results, based on record evidence, Commerce continues to
find that AMLT did not ship subject merchandise during the POR.
Accordingly, consistent with Commerce's practice, we intend to instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate any existing
entries of subject merchandise made during the POR that were produced
by AMLT, but exported by other parties without their own rate, at the
all-others rate effective during the POR.\8\

Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V..................................... 12.57

Assessment and Cash Deposit Requirements
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce intends to issue
appropriate instructions to CBP 41 days after publication of the final
results of this review.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See 19 CFR 356.8(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Deacero, because its weighted-average dumping margin is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), Commerce has
calculated importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates. We
calculated importer-specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment
rates by aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the
examined sales of each importer and dividing each of these amounts by
the total entered value associated with those sales. We will instruct
CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by
this review where an importer-specific assessment rate is not zero or
de minimis. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which
the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis.
As noted in the ``Final Determination of No Shipments'' section,
above, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries of
merchandise produced by AMLT but exported by other parties, at the rate
for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others rate.
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of 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 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 final results of this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers 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 producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of
doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an administrative protective order (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
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 terms of an APO
is a violation which is subject to sanction.
These final results are issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: April 11, 2018.
