SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 2, 2020, BIS published 

the Notice of Request for Public 

Comments on Condition of the Public 

Health Industrial Base and Recommend 

Policies and Actions to Strengthen the 

Public Health Industrial Base to Ensure 

Essential Medicines, Medical 

Countermeasures, and Critical Inputs 

Are Made in the United States (85 FR 

77428) (December 2 notice). The 

December 2 notice specified that on 

August 6, 2020, President Trump issued 

Executive Order 13944, Combating 

Public Health Emergencies and 

Strengthening National Security by 

Ensuring Essential Medicines, Medical 

Countermeasures, and Critical Inputs 

Are Made in the United States (E.O. 

13944). Among other directives, E.O. 

13944 directed that, by February 2, 

2021, the Secretary of Commerce shall 

submit a report to the Director of the 

Office of Management and Budget, the 

Assistant to the President for National 

Security Affairs, the Director of the 

National Economic Council, and the 

Director of the Office of Trade and 

Manufacturing Policy, describing any 

change in the status of the Public Health 

Industrial Base (PHIB) and 

recommending initiatives to strengthen 

the PHIB. The December 2 notice 

requested comments from the public to 

assist Commerce in preparing this report 

on the status and condition of the PHIB 

and recommending policies and actions 

to strengthen it. (See the December 2 

notice for additional details on E.O. 

13944 and the request for public 

comments.) 

Change in Public Comment Deadline 

The December 2 notice included a 

comment period deadline of December 

23, 2020. Commerce has determined 

that an extension of the comment period 

is warranted, following requests from 

the public on the matter. While 

comments may be submitted at any 

time, this notice specifies that 

comments must be received by January 

15, 2021, to be considered in the 

drafting of the final report. This notice 

reopens the comment period to allow 

for additional time for the public to 

submit comments. Comments 

previously submitted need not be 

resubmitted and will be fully 

considered.

Final Results of Expedited Sunset 

Review of Countervailing Duty Order: 

Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire 

Strand From the People’s Republic of 

China 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of this second 

sunset review, the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

revocation of the countervailing duty 

(CVD) order on prestressed concrete 

steel wire strand (PC strand) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

would be likely to lead to continuation 

or recurrence of a countervailable 

subsidy at the level indicated in the 

‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section of this 

notice. 

DATES: Applicable December 31, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 1, 2020, Commerce 

initiated a second sunset review of the 

Order 1 pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act) and 19 CFR 351.218(c).2 On 

September 14, 2020, Commerce received 

a timely notification of intent to 

participate from Insteel Wire Products 

Company, Sumiden Wire Products 

Corporation, and Wire Mesh 

Corporation (collectively, domestic 

parties or the petitioners), filed in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(i).3 On September 30, 

2020, Commerce received a substantive 

response from the petitioners, timely 

filed in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(i).4 Commerce did not 

receive a substantive response from the 

Government of China (GOC) or company 

respondent interested parties. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) and section 

751(c)(3)(B) of the Act, when there are 

inadequate responses from respondent 

interested parties, Commerce will 

conduct an expedited sunset review 

and, not later than 120 days after the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register of the notice of initiation, issue 

final results of review based on the facts 

available. Commerce did not receive a 

substantive response from the GOC or 

any Chinese producers or exporters. 

Accordingly, we conducted an 

expedited (120-day) sunset review of the 

Order.5

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the Order is PC strand. 

PC strand is steel wire strand, other than 

of stainless steel, which is suitable for 

use in, but not limited to, pre-stressed 

concrete (both pre-tensioned and posttensioned) applications. The scope of 

the Order encompasses all types and 

diameters of PC strand whether 

uncoated (uncovered) or coated 

(covered) by any substance, including 

but not limited to, grease, plastic sheath, 

or epoxy. This merchandise includes, 

but is not limited to, PC strand 

produced to the American Society for 

Testing and Materials (ASTM) A–416 

specification, or comparable domestic or 

foreign specifications. PC strand made 

from galvanized wire is 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 the Order 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 the 

Order is dispositive.

Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof 

From the People’s Republic of China: 

Final Results of Antidumping Duty 

Changed Circumstances Review 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On November 20, 2020, the 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

published the initiation and preliminary 

results of a changed circumstances 

review (CCR) of the antidumping duty 

order on diamond sawblades and parts 

thereof (diamond sawblades) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China). For 

these final results, Commerce continues 

to find that Protech Diamond Tools Inc. 

(Protech) and Gogo International Inc. 

(Gogo) are affiliated. Additionally, 

Commerce continues to find that 

Protech is eligible to participate in a 

certification process because Protech 

has demonstrated that it can identify 

diamond sawblades that it produced in 

Canada using non-Chinese cores and 

Chinese segments. 

DATES: Applicable December 31, 2020.

(202) 482–9180. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 20, 2020, Commerce 

found ‘‘that diamond sawblades made 

with Chinese cores and Chinese 

segments joined in Canada by Protech 

and then subsequently exported from 

Canada to the United States are 

circumventing the antidumping duty 

order on diamond sawblades from 

China.’’ 1 In the Final Determination, 

Commerce found that diamond 

sawblades ‘‘assembled or completed in 

Canada using non-Chinese origin cores 

and/or non-Chinese origin segments are 

not subject to this anti-circumvention 

inquiry.’’ However, because Protech was 

unable ‘‘to identify diamond sawblades 

produced with non-Chinese origin cores 

and/or non-Chinese origin segments,’’ 

Commerce decided not to ‘‘implement a 

certification process for diamond 

sawblades already suspended,’’ and 

required ‘‘cash deposits on all entries of 

diamond sawblades produced and 

exported by Protech in Canada.’’ 2 We 

indicated that Protech could, at some 

future point request reconsideration of 

Commerce’s denial of the certification 

process in, e.g., a CCR.3

On August 19, 2020, Protech 

submitted a request for a CCR, in which 

Protech claimed that it is able to 

identify and segregate diamond 

sawblades made with non-Chinese cores 

and Chinese segments joined in Canada 

by Protech and then subsequently
