SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 21, 2018, Commerce
published the CVD order on wire rod
from Italy.1 On December 1, 2022,
Commerce published the notice of
initiation of the first sunset review of
the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).2 Commerce received a notice of
intent to participate from Charter Steel,
Commercial Metals Company, Liberty
Steel USA, Nucor Corporation, and
Optimus Steel LLC (collectively,
domestic interested parties) within the
deadline specified in 19 CFR
351.218(d)(1)(i).3 The domestic
interested parties claimed interested
party status within the meaning of
section 771(9)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.102(b)(29)(v) as domestic producers
of wire rod in the United States.
On January 3, 2023, Commerce
received an adequate substantive
response from the domestic interested
parties within the 30-day deadline
specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).4
Commerce did not receive a substantive
response from either the Government of
Italy or a respondent interested party to
this proceeding. On January 25, 2023,
Commerce notified the U.S.
International Trade Commission that it
did not receive an adequate substantive
response from respondent interested
parties.5 As a result, Commerce
conducted an expedited (120-day)
sunset review of the Order, pursuant to
1 See Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Italy
and the Republic of Turkey: Amended Final
Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination for
the Republic of Turkey and Countervailing Duty
