would be likely to lead to continuation
or recurrence of a countervailable
subsidy at the level indicated in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On September 1, 2020, Commerce
initiated a second sunset review of the
Order 1 pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act) and 19 CFR 351.218(c).2 On
September 14, 2020, Commerce received
a timely notification of intent to
participate from Insteel Wire Products
Company, Sumiden Wire Products
Corporation, and Wire Mesh
Corporation (collectively, domestic
parties or the petitioners), filed in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).3 On September 30,
1 See Pre-Stressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand
from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of
Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination and Notice of Countervailing Duty
Order, 75 FR 38977 (July 7, 2010) (Order).

2020, Commerce received a substantive
response from the petitioners, timely
filed in accordance with 19 CFR
351.218(d)(3)(i).4 Commerce did not
receive a substantive response from the
Government of China (GOC) or company
respondent interested parties.
Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) and section
751(c)(3)(B) of the Act, when there are
inadequate responses from respondent
interested parties, Commerce will
conduct an expedited sunset review
and, not later than 120 days after the
date of publication in the Federal
Register of the notice of initiation, issue
final results of review based on the facts
available. Commerce did not receive a
substantive response from the GOC or
any Chinese producers or exporters.
Accordingly, we conducted an
expedited (120-day) sunset review of the
Order.5
Scope of the Order
The scope of the Order is PC strand.
PC strand is steel wire strand, other than
of stainless steel, which is suitable for
use in, but not limited to, pre-stressed
concrete (both pre-tensioned and posttensioned) applications. The scope of
the Order encompasses all types and
diameters of PC strand whether
uncoated (uncovered) or coated
(covered) by any substance, including
but not limited to, grease, plastic sheath,
or epoxy. This merchandise includes,
but is not limited to, PC strand
produced to the American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) A–416
specification, or comparable domestic or
foreign specifications. PC strand made
from galvanized wire is 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.
The PC strand subject to the Order is
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 the
Order is dispositive.
