Suspension of Liquidation Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(l)(1), Commerce will notify U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) of the initiation of circumvention inquiries and will direct CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation of entries of products subject to these circumvention inquiries that were already subject to the suspension of liquidation under the orders and to apply the cash deposit rate that would be applicable if the products were determined to be covered by the applicable scope. Should Commerce issue affirmative preliminary or final circumvention determinations, Commerce will follow the suspension of liquidation rules under 19 CFR 351.226(l)(2)–(4). Notification to Interested Parties In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(d) and section 781(a) of the Act, Commerce determines that Vulcan’s request for circumvention inquiries relating to the 2020 AD Order and the 2020 CVD Order satisfies the requirements of 19 CFR 351.226(c). Accordingly, Commerce is notifying all interested parties of the initiation of these circumvention inquiries to determine whether alloy steel threaded rod produced in the United States from unthreaded pins imported from China is circumventing these orders. Additionally, we are hereby providing interested parties with an opportunity to comment on any additional entities— i.e., importers, exporters, producers— that are involved in the supply, sale, or production related to alloy steel threaded rod completed in the United States using unthreaded pins imported from China. Comments on the identity of such entities are due within seven days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. We have included a description of the products that are subject to these inquiries and an explanation of Commerce’s decision to initiate in the accompanying Initiation Checklists.13 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(e)(1), Commerce intends to issue its preliminary circumvention determinations no later than 150 days from the date of publication of the notice of initiation of these circumvention inquiries in the Federal Register. This notice is published in accordance with section 781(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226(d)(1)(ii). Dated: July 6, 2023, Lisa W. Wang, Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

The Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) empowers the Commission with the authority to require commodity pool operators (CPOs) and commodity trading advisors (CTAs) to maintain books and records and to file reports as required by the Commission.2 The Commission also has the power to promulgate such regulations as it deems necessary to implement the purposes of PO 00000 CFR 4.1–4.41. U.S.C. 6n(3). the CEA.3 It is pursuant to this authority that the Commission has promulgated the various compliance requirements for CPOs and CTAs in 17 CFR part 4. The reporting, filing, and recordkeeping requirements within part 4 of the Commission’s regulations were adopted to assist and inform customers, to establish customer protection initiatives for investors, to facilitate monitoring intermediary compliance with part 4 regulations by the Commission and its delegee, the National Futures Association (NFA), and to enable the Commission to better monitor the market risks posed by its registrants. The information collections are necessary to enable the Commission and NFA to accomplish the purposes of both the CEA and the compliance regime set forth in part 4 of the Commission’s regulations. With regard to the information collection discussed above, the CFTC invites comments on: • Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the information will have a practical use; • The accuracy of the Commission’s estimate of the burden of the proposed revision to the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • Ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden of collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the further use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology; e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
