above a size-exemption level. The
sample data are used to derive universe
estimates of direct investment
transactions, positions, and income in
nonbenchmark years from similar data
reported in the BE–12, Benchmark
Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in
the United States, which is conducted
every five years. The data collected
through the BE–605 survey are essential
for the preparation of the U.S.
international transactions, national
income and product, and input-output
accounts and the net international
investment position of the United
States. The data are needed to measure
the size and economic significance of
foreign direct investment in the United
States, measure changes in such
investment, and assess its impact on the
U.S. economy. The Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) is not proposing any
changes to the BE–605 survey.

II. Method of Collection
IV. Request for Comments
Notice of specific reporting
requirements, including who is to
report, the information to be reported,
the manner of reporting, and the time
and place of filing reports, will be
mailed to potential respondents each
quarter. Reports are due 30 days after
the close of each calendar or fiscal
quarter, or 45 days if the report is for the
final quarter of the respondent’s
financial reporting year. Reports are
required from every U.S. business
enterprise in which a foreign entity
owns, directly and/or indirectly, 10
percent or more of the voting securities
of the U.S. business enterprise if it is
incorporated, or an equivalent interest if
it is unincorporated, at any time during
the quarter, and that meets the
additional conditions detailed in Form
BE–605. Certain private funds are
exempt from reporting. Entities required
to report will be contacted individually
by BEA. Entities not contacted by BEA
have no reporting responsibilities.
Potential respondents include those
U.S. business enterprises that were
required to report on the BE–12,
Benchmark Survey of Foreign Direct
Investment in the United States—2017,
along with those U.S. business
enterprises that subsequently have
become at least partly foreign owned.
BEA offers electronic filing through its
eFile system (www.bea.gov/efile) for use
in reporting on the BE–605 survey
forms. In addition, BEA posts its survey
forms and reporting instructions on its
website (www.bea.gov/fdi).

timely requests for review, in
accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the

Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order
is steel concrete reinforcing bar from
Mexico. The rebar subject to the Order
is currently classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings
7213.10.0000, 7214.20.0000,
7228.30.8010, 7215.90.1000,

7222.11.0057, 7222.11.0059,
7222.30.0001, 7227.20.0080,

subheadings are provided for
convenience and Customs purposes, the

Order is dispositive. For a complete
description of the scope of the Order,
see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a) of the
Act. Constructed export price was
calculated in accordance with section
772 of the Act. Normal value was
calculated in accordance with section
773 of the Act. For a full description of
the methodology underlying our
preliminary results, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
For the rate for companies not
selected for individual examination in
an administrative review, generally,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of
the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in a lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation.
Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act,
the all-others rate is normally ‘‘an
amount equal to the weighted average of
the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins established for
exporters and producers individually
investigated, excluding any zero or de
minimis margins, and any margins
determined entirely {on the basis of
facts available}.’’ In this administrative
review, we calculated weighted-average
dumping margins for Deacero Group
and Acerero that are not zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on total facts
available. For the respondents that were
not selected for individual examination
in this administrative review, we have
assigned to them the weighted-average
dumping margins calculated for Deacero
Group and Acerero, consistent with the
