obtained from another party, (e.g.,
correspondence received by the importer (or
exporter) from the producer regarding the
country of manufacture of the imported
products).

party.

prior to the date of entry summary.
(P) I am aware that U.S. law (including, but

The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) finds that revocation of the
antidumping duty order on prestressed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 29, 2010, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) published the
antidumping duty order on PC strand
from China.1 On September 1, 2020,
Commerce initiated the second sunset
review of the Order pursuant to section
751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act).2 On September 14,
2020, Commerce received a notice of
intent to participate in this sunset
review from Insteel Wire Products
Company, Sumiden Wire Products
Corporation, and Wire Mesh
Corporation (collectively, ‘‘Domestic
Industry’’), within the deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).3
The members of the Domestic Industry
claimed interested party status under
section 771(9)(C) of the Act as producers
of the domestic like product in the
United States. On September 30, 2020,
Commerce received a substantive
response from the Domestic Industry
within the 30-day deadline specified in
19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).4 Commerce
received no substantive responses from
respondent interested parties, nor was a
hearing requested. On October 27, 2020,
Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that it did not receive an adequate
substantive response from respondent

interested parties.5 As a result, pursuant
to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order.
Scope of the Order
The product covered by the Order is
PC strand, produced from wire of nonstainless, non-galvanized 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. PC strand is
normally sold in the United States in
sizes ranging from 0.25 inches to 0.70
inches in diameter. PC strand made
from galvanized wire is only excluded
from the scope if the zinc and/or zinc
oxide coating meets or exceeds the 0.40
oz./ft2 standard set forth in ASTM–A–
475. Imports of the subject merchandise
are currently classifiable under
subheadings 7312.10.3010 and
7312.10.3012 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 this order is dispositive.
