SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 30, 2020, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

Preliminary Determinations of sales at 

LTFV of PC strand from: (1) Argentina, 

Colombia, Egypt, the Netherlands, Saudi 

Arabia, Turkey, and the UAE; 1 and (2) 

Taiwan.2 We invited interested parties 

to comment on the Preliminary 

Determinations. Except for PC strand 

from Turkey, we received no comments 

from interested parties on the 

Preliminary Determinations. For PC 

strand from Turkey, a summary of the 

events that occurred since Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determinations, as well as a full 

discussion of the issues raised by parties 

for the final determination, may be 

found in the Turkey Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.3

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation is April 1, 

2019 through March 31, 2020. 

Scope of the Investigations 

The product covered by these 

investigations is PC strand. For a full 

description of the scope of these 

investigations, see Appendix I of this 

notice. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determinations 

Because we received no comments, 

we have made no changes to our 

calculations with regards to Argentina, 

Colombia, Egypt, the Netherlands, Saudi 

Arabia, UAE, and Taiwan. We have 

considered the comments received in 

the PC strand from Turkey investigation, 

but have made no changes to our 

calculations for the final determination. 

In addition, for the final determination 

we have revised our critical 

circumstances determination with 

respect to Celik Halat ve Tel Sanayi A.S. 

(Celik Halat). See ‘‘Final Affirmative 

Determinations of Critical 

Circumstances,’’ below. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs submitted by parties in 

the PC strand from Turkey investigation 

are addressed in the Turkey Issues and 

Decision Memorandum accompanying 

this notice. A list of the issues 

addressed in the Turkey Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is attached to 

this notice as Appendix II. The Turkey 

Issues and Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Turkey Issues 

and Decision Memorandum can be 

accessed directly at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed 

and electronic versions of the Turkey 

Issues and Decision Memorandum are 

identical in content. 

Final Affirmative Determinations of 

Critical Circumstances 

For the Preliminary Determinations, 

in accordance with section 733(e)(1) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act) and 19 CFR 351.206(c)(1), 

Commerce found that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to 

imports of PC strand exported by: (1) 

Knight S.A.S. from Colombia; (2) United 

Wires Company Elsewedy (United 

Wires) and all other producers/exporters 

from Egypt; (3) Nedri Spanstaal BV from 

the Netherlands; and (4) Celik Halat,

7Because we are making a negative final 

determination of critical circumstances for Celik 

Halat, we will instruct CBP to terminate suspension 

of liquidation, and release any cash deposits on 

merchandise which was entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, during the 90 day period prior to 

the date of publication of the Preliminary 

Determinations. 

Celik), and all other producers/exporters 

from Turkey.4

Our determinations of critical 

circumstances are unchanged for the 

final determinations, except with 

respect to Celik Halat.5 Accordingly, 

pursuant to section 735(a)(3) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.206, we continue to 

find that critical circumstances exist for: 

(1) Knight S.A.S. from Colombia; (2) 

United Wires and all other producers/ 

exporters from Egypt; (3) Nedri 

Spanstaal BV from the Netherlands; and 

(4) Gu ̈ney Celik and all other producers/ 

exporters from Turkey. 

All-Others Rates 

As discussed in the Preliminary 

Determinations, Commerce based the 

all-others rate for each country on the 

alleged dumping margin from the 

petition applicable to each country, in 

accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act.6 We made no changes to the 

selection of the all-others rates for these 

final determinations.

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with a final 

determination, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). However, because 

Commerce applied AFA to each 

mandatory respondent in these 

investigations, in accordance with 

section 776 of the Act, there are no 

calculations to disclose. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all entries of PC strand 

from Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, the 

Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, 

Turkey, and the UAE, as described in 

the ‘‘Scope of the Investigations’’ in 

Appendix I, which entered, or were 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determinations. 

In accordance with section 

733(e)(2)(A) of the Act, suspension of 

liquidation of PC strand from Colombia, 

Egypt, the Netherlands, and Turkey as 

described in the ‘‘Scope of the 

Investigations’’ in Appendix I, shall 

continue to apply to unliquidated 

entries of PC strand exported by: (1) 

Knight S.A.S. from Colombia; (2) United 

Wires and all other producers/exporters 

from Egypt; (3) Nedri Spanstaal BV from 

the Netherlands; and (4) Gu ̈ney Celik 

and all other producers/exporters from 

Turkey,7 which entered, or were 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after July 2, 2020, 

which is 90 days prior to the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determinations. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 

for such entries of merchandise equal to 

the estimated dumping margin as 

follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the 

company listed in the tables above will 

be equal to the company-specific 

estimated dumping margin identified 

for that company in the table; (2) if the 

exporter is not a company identified 

above, but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

company-specific estimated dumping 

margin established for that producer of 

the subject merchandise; and (3) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

and exporters will be equal to the allothers estimated dumping margin. 

These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) of the final 

affirmative determinations of sales at 

LTFV. Because Commerce’s final 

determinations are affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the 

Act, the ITC will make its final 

determinations as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with

Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigations 

The merchandise covered by these 

investigations is prestressed concrete steel 

wire strand (PC strand), produced from wire 

of non-stainless, non-galvanized steel, which 

is suitable for use in prestressed concrete 

(both pretensioned and post-tensioned) 

applications. The product definition 

encompasses covered and uncovered strand 

and all types, grades, and diameters of PC 

strand. PC strand is normally sold in the 

United States in sizes ranging from 0.25 

inches to 0.70 inches in diameter. PC strand 

made from galvanized wire is only 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 these 

investigations 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 these 

investigations is dispositive.
