SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is issuing the final results of changed circumstances reviews (CCRs) of the antidumping duty (AD) order on alloy and certain carbon steel threaded rod from the People’s Republic of China and the countervailing duty (CVD) order on carbon and alloy steel threaded rod from China (collectively, steel threaded rod from China) to revoke the orders, in part, with respect to certain wheel studs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On April 9, 2020, Commerce published the AD and CVD orders on steel threaded rod from China in the Federal Register.1 On October 15, 2024, Commerce published its initiation and preliminary results of the CCRs of the Orders 2 in the Federal Register, in 1 See Alloy and Certain Carbon Steel Threaded Rod from the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 85 FR 19929 (April 9, 2020) (AD Order), and Carbon and Alloy Steel Threaded Rod from India and the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing Duty Orders, 85 FR 19927 (April 9, 2020) (CVD Order) (collectively Orders). 2 See Antidumping Duty Order on Alloy and Certain Carbon Steel Threaded Rod and PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 which Commerce found that changed circumstances warranted revocation of the Orders in part with respect to certain wheel studs. Commerce provided interested parties with the opportunity to comment and request a public hearing regarding the Preliminary Results. Commerce did not receive any comments or a request for a hearing from interested parties. Final Results of CCRs and Revocation of the Orders, in Part We conducted these CCRs based on a request from Logistical Resource Development Inc. (LRD), an importer of merchandise subject to these CCRs. LRD requested that Commerce retroactively revoke the Orders, in part, pursuant to section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.216(b) with respect to certain wheels studs.3 Because no party submitted comments opposing the Preliminary Results of these CCRs, and the record contains no other information or evidence that calls into question the Preliminary Results, Commerce determines, pursuant to sections 751(d)(1) and 782(h) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.222(g), that there are changed circumstances that warrant revocation of the Orders, in part, with respect to certain wheel studs subject to LRD’s request. Consequently, there is no decision memorandum accompanying this notice. Specifically, because producers accounting for substantially all the production of the domestic like product to which the Orders pertain have not expressed interest in maintaining the relief provided by the Orders with respect to certain wheel studs, as described below, Commerce is revoking the Orders, in part, with respect to certain wheel studs with the following physical characteristics: • A wheel stud that has an M12 diameter and 1.5RH thread spacing threaded stud with a 6mm-wide inset hex head measuring 49mm long, part of the threaded length being divided by a 5mm unthreaded band which creates an 11.5mm threaded section for insertion that is also M12 diameter and 1.5RH thread spacing.

investigation within 140 days after the date on which Commerce 
initiated the investigation. However, section 733(c)(1) of the Act 
permits Commerce to postpone the preliminary determination until no 
later than 190 days after the date on which Commerce initiated the 
investigation if: (A) the petitioner makes a timely request for a 
postponement; or (B) Commerce concludes that the parties concerned are 
cooperating, that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated, and 
that additional time is necessary to make a preliminary determination. 
Under 19 CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a request for 
postponement 25 days or more before the scheduled date of the 
preliminary determination and must state the reasons for the request.

fully analyze the forthcoming questionnaire responses of the mandatory 
respondents and issue supplemental questionnaires, as necessary.\4\

reasons to deny the request, in accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e), Commerce is postponing the deadline for 
the preliminary determinations by 50 days. As a result, Commerce will
