Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 242 / Wednesday, December 16, 2020 / Notices 81487 

determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 

1930 (‘‘the Act’’), that revocation of the 

countervailing duty orders on nonoriented electrical steel from China and 

Taiwan and the antidumping duty 

orders on non-oriented electrical steel 

from China, Germany, Japan, Korea, 

Sweden, and Taiwan would be likely to 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time. 

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

reviews on November 1, 2019 (84 FR 

58743) and determined on February 4, 

2020 that it would conduct full reviews 

(85 FR 8325, February 13, 2020). Notice 

of the scheduling of the Commission’s 

reviews and of a public hearing to be 

held in connection therewith was given 

by posting copies of the notice in the 

Office of the Secretary, U.S. 

International Trade Commission, 

Washington, DC, and by publishing the 

notice in the Federal Register on June 

2, 2020 (85 FR 33711). In light of the 

restrictions on access to the Commission 

building due to the COVID–19 

pandemic, the Commission conducted 

its hearing through written testimony 

and video conference on October 8, 

2020. All persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to 

participate. 

The Commission made these 

determinations pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It 

completed and filed its determinations 

in these reviews on December 10, 2020. 

The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 5140 

(December 2020), entitled Non-Oriented 

Electrical Steel from China, Germany, 

Japan, Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan: 

Investigation Nos. 701–TA–506 and 508 

and 731–TA–1238–1243 (Review).

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commission hereby gives 

notice of the scheduling of the final

countervailing duty investigation Nos. 

701–TA–653 and 731–TA–1527 (Final) 

pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the 

Act’’) to determine whether an industry 

in the United States is materially 

injured or threatened with material 

injury, or the establishment of an 

industry in the United States is 

materially retarded, by reason of 

imports of standard steel welded wire 

mesh from Mexico, provided for in 

subheadings 7314.20.00 and 7314.39.00 

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States, preliminarily 

determined by the Department of 

Commerce (‘‘Commerce’’) to be

these investigations may be viewed on 

the Commission’s electronic docket 

(EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope.—For purposes of these 

investigations, Commerce has defined 

the subject merchandise as covering 

uncoated standard welded steel 

reinforcement wire mesh (wire mesh) 

produced from smooth or deformed 

wire. Subject wire mesh is produced in 

square and rectangular grids of 

uniformly spaced steel wires that are 

welded at all intersections. Sizes are 

specified by combining the spacing of 

the wires in inches or millimeters and 

the wire cross-sectional area in 

hundredths of square inch or 

millimeters squared. Subject wire mesh 

may be packaged and sold in rolls or in 

sheets. 

Subject wire mesh is currently 

produced to ASTM specification A1064/ 

A1064M, which covers carbon-steel 

wire and welded wire reinforcement, 

smooth and deformed, for concrete in 

the following seven styles: 

1. 6x6 W1.4/W1.4 or D1.4/D1.4 

2. 6x6 W2.1/W2.1 or D2.1/D2.1 

3. 6x6 W2.9/W2.9 or D2.9/D2.9 

4. 6x6 W4/W4 or D4/D4 

5. 6x12 W4/W4 or D4/D4 

6. 4x4 W2.9/W2.9 or D2.9/D2.9 

7. 4x4 W4/W4 or D4/D4 

Commerce’s written description of the 

scope is dispositive and appears in full 

in Appendix I of Standard Steel Welded 

Wire Mesh From Mexico: Preliminary 

Affirmative Countervailing Duty 

Determination (85 FR 78124, December 

3, 2020). 

Background.—The final phase of 

these investigations is being scheduled 

pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 

1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of 

affirmative preliminary determinations 

by Commerce that certain benefits 

which constitute subsidies within the 

meaning of § 703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1671b) are being provided to 

manufacturers, producers, or exporters 

in Mexico of standard steel welded wire 

mesh, and that such products are being 

sold in the United States at less than fair 

value within the meaning of § 733 of the 

Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The 

investigations were requested in a 

petition filed on June 30, 2020, by 

Insteel Industries Inc., Mount Airy, 

North Carolina; Mid South Wire 

Company, Nashville, Tennessee; 

National Wire LLC, Conroe, Texas; 

Oklahoma Steel & Wire Co., Madill, 

Oklahoma; and Wire Mesh Corp., 

Houston, Texas.
