SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 733(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this investigation 

on July 27, 2020.1 On November 18, 

2020, Commerce postponed the 

preliminary determination of this 

investigation, and the revised deadline 

is now January 26, 2021.2 For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this 

investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

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 Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

The signed and the electronic versions 

of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are wire mesh from 

Mexico. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,4 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).5 Certain interested 

parties commented on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Initiation Notice. For a summary of the 

product coverage and rebuttal 

comments submitted on the record for 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6 Commerce has 

not modified the scope language as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Commerce has 

calculated constructed export prices in 

accordance with section 772(b) of the 

Act. Normal value is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

Furthermore, pursuant to section 776(a) 

and (b) of the Act, Commerce has 

preliminarily relied upon facts 

otherwise available with adverse 

inferences for Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. 

(Deacero). For a full description of the 

methodology underlying the 

preliminary determination, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

Sections 733(d)(1)(ii) and 735(c)(5)(A) 

of the Act provide that, in the 

preliminary determination, Commerce 

shall determine an estimated all-others 

rate for all exporters and producers not 

individually examined. This rate shall 

be an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the estimated weightedVerDate Sep<11>2014 16:57 Jan 29, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\01FEN1.SGM 01FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 19 / Monday, February 1, 2021 / Notices 7711 

7 In the companion countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigation, Commerce calculated a 1.02 percent 

export subsidy rate for Aceromex and for all other 

producers and exporters under the program ‘‘Eighth 

Rule Permit Program.’’ See Standard Steel Welded 

Wire Mesh from Mexico: Preliminary Affirmative 

Countervailing Duty Determination, 85 FR 78124 

(December 3, 2020), and accompanying Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum at 14–18. Because we 

determined the LTFV all-others rate based on 

Aceromex’s estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin, the export subsidy offset for all other 

producers and exporters is the lesser of the export 

subsidy rate for Aceromex and the export subsidy 

rate for all other producers and exporters in the 

CVD preliminary determination (i.e., 1.02 percent). 

The cash deposit rate for Deacero is equal to the 

petition rate (152.68 percent) adjusted for the 

lowest rate of export subsidies found for any 

company in the most recently-completed segment 

in the companion countervailing duty proceeding 

(i.e., 1.02 percent related to the Eighth Rule Permit 

Program).

(for general filing requirements).

average dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. 

In this investigation, Commerce 

preliminarily assigned a rate based 

entirely on adverse facts available (AFA) 

to Deacero. Therefore, the only rate that 

is not zero, de minimis or based entirely 

on adverse facts otherwise available is 

the rate calculated for Aceromex, S.A. 

de C.V. (Aceromex). Consequently, the 

rate calculated for Aceromex is also 

assigned as the rate for all-other 

producers and exporters.

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register. Further, pursuant 

to section 733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(d), Commerce will instruct 

CBP to require a cash deposit equal to 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin or the estimated allothers rate, as follows: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for the respondents listed 

above will be equal to the companyspecific estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins determined in this 

preliminary determination; (2) if the 

exporter is not a respondent identified 

above, but the producer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

company-specific estimated weightedaverage 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 all-others 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin. 

Commerce normally adjusts cash 

deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties by the amount of export subsidies 

countervailed in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding, 

when CVD provisional measures are in 

effect. Accordingly, where Commerce 

preliminarily made an affirmative 

determination for countervailable export 

subsidies, Commerce has offset the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the appropriate CVD rate. 

Any such adjusted cash deposit rate 

may be found in the Preliminary 

Determination section above. 

Should provisional measures in the 

companion CVD investigation expire 

prior to the expiration of provisional 

measures in this LTFV investigation, 

Commerce will direct CBP to begin 

collecting estimated antidumping duty 

cash deposits unadjusted for 

countervailed export subsidies at the 

time that the provisional CVD measures 

expire. These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this preliminary 

determination within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify the 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. Normally, 

Commerce verifies information using 

standard procedures, including an onsite examination of original accounting, 

financial, and sales documentation. 

However, due to current travel 

restrictions in response to the global 

COVID–19 pandemic, Commerce is 

unable to conduct on-site verification in 

this investigation. Accordingly, we 

intend to verify the information relied 

upon in making the final determination 

through alternative means in lieu of an 

on-site verification. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. A timeline for the 

submission of case briefs and written 

comments will be notified to interested 

parties at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in case briefs, 

may be submitted no later than seven 

days after the deadline date for case 

briefs.8 Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.9

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and 

(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or 

rebuttal briefs in this investigation are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities.

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a time and 

date to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

Postponement of Final Determination 

and Extension of Provisional Measures 

Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides 

that a final determination may be 

postponed until not later than 135 days 

after the date of the publication of the 

preliminary determination if, in the 

event of an affirmative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by exporters who 

account for a significant proportion of 

exports of the subject merchandise, or in 

the event of a negative preliminary 

determination, a request for such 

postponement is made by the petitioner. 

Section 351.210(e)(2) of Commerce’s 

regulations requires that a request by 

exporters for postponement of the final 

determination be accompanied by a 

request for extension of provisional 

measures from a four-month period to a 

period not more than six months in 

duration. 

On January 13, 2021, and January 21, 

2021 pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e), 

Insteel Industries Inc., Mid South Wire 

Company, National Wire LLC, 

Oklahoma Steel & Wire Co., and Wire 

Mesh Corp. (the petitioners) and 

Aceromex requested that Commerce 

postpone the final determination and 

that provisional measures be extended 

to a period not to exceed six months.10

In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii), 

because: (1) The preliminary 

determination is affirmative; (2) the 

requesting exporter accounts for a 

significant proportion of exports of the 

subject merchandise; and (3) no 

compelling reasons for denial exist, 

Commerce is postponing the final 

determination and extending the 

provisional measures from a four-month 

period to a period not greater than six 

months. Accordingly, Commerce will 

make its final determination no later 

than 135 days after the date of 

publication of this preliminary 

determination. 

International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 733(f) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

its preliminary determination. If the 

final determination is affirmative, the 

ITC will determine before the later of 

120 days after the date of this 

preliminary determination or 45 days 

after the final determination whether 

these imports are materially injuring, or 

threaten material injury to, the U.S. 

industry. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

733(f) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.205(c).

and Compliance. 

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is 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. 6 X 6 W1.4/W1.4 or D1.4/D1.4 

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

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

4. 6 X 6 W4/W4 or D4/D4 

5. 6 X 12 W4/W4 or D4/D4 

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

7. 4 X 4 W4/W4 or D4/D4 

The first number in the style denotes the 

nominal spacing between the longitudinal 

wires and the second number denotes the 

nominal spacing between the transverse 

wires. In the first style listed above, for 

example, ‘‘6 X 6’’ denotes a grid size of six 

inches by six inches. ‘‘W’’ denotes the use of 

smooth wire, and ‘‘D’’ denotes the use of 

deformed wire in making the mesh. The 

number following the W or D denotes the 

nominal cross-sectional area of the transverse 

and longitudinal wires in hundredths of a 

square inch (i.e., W1.4 or D1.4 is .014 square 

inches). 

Smooth wire is wire that has a uniform 

cross-sectional diameter throughout the 

length of the wire. 

Deformed wire is wire with indentations or 

raised transverse ribs, which results in wire 

that does not have a uniform cross-sectional 

diameter throughout the length of the wire. 

Rolls of subject wire mesh are produced in 

the following styles and nominal width and 

length combinations: 

Style: 6 X 6 W1.4/W1.4 or D1.4/D1.4 (i.e., 10 

gauge) 

Roll Sizes:

Any product imported, sold, or invoiced in 

one of these size combinations is within the 

scope. 

ASTM specification A1064/A1064M 

provides for permissible variations in wire 

gauges, the spacing between transverse and 

longitudinal wires, and the length and width 

combinations. To the extent a roll or sheet of 

welded wire mesh falls within these 

permissible variations, it is within this scope. 

ASTM specification A1064/A1064M also 

defines permissible oversteeling, which is the 

use of a heavier gauge wire with a larger 

cross-sectional area than nominally specified. 

It also permits a wire diameter tolerance of 

± 0.003 inches for products up to W5/D5 and 

± 0.004 for sizes over W5/D5. A producer 

may oversteel by increasing smooth or 

deformed wire diameter up to two whole 

number size increments on Table 1 of A1064. 

Subject wire mesh has the following actual 

wire diameter ranges, which account for both 

oversteeling and diameter tolerance: 

W/D No. 

Maximum 

oversteeling 

No. 

Diameter range 

(inch) 

1.4 (i.e., 10 gauge) ..................................................................... 3.4 0.093 to 0.211. 

2.1 (i.e., 8 gauge) ....................................................................... 4.1 0.161 to 0.231. 

2.9 (i.e., 6 gauge) ....................................................................... 4.9 0.189 to 0.253. 

4.0 (i.e., 4 gauge) ....................................................................... 6.0 0.223 to 0.280. 

To the extent a roll or sheet of welded wire 

mesh falls within the permissible variations 

provided above, it is within this scope. 

In addition to the tolerances permitted in 

ASTM specification A1064/A1064M, wire 

mesh within this scope includes 

combinations where: 

1. A width and/or length combination 

varies by ± one grid size in any direction, i.e., 

± 6 inches in length or width where the wire 

mesh’s grid size is ‘‘6 X 6’’; and/or 

2. The center-to-center spacing between 

individual wires may vary by up to one 

quarter of an inch from the nominal grid size 

specified. 

Length is measured from the ends of any 

wire and width is measured between the 

center-line of end longitudinal wires. 

Additionally, although the subject wire 

mesh typically meets ASTM A1064/A1064M, 

the failure to include certifications, test 

reports or other documentation establishing 

that the product meets this specification does 

not remove the product from the scope. Wire 

mesh made to comparable foreign 

specifications (e.g., DIN, JIS, etc.) or 

proprietary specifications is included in the 

scope. 

Excluded from the scope is wire mesh that 

is galvanized (i.e., coated with zinc) or coated 

with an epoxy coating. In order to be 

excluded as galvanized, the excluded welded 

wire mesh must have a zinc coating thickness 

meeting the requirements of ASTM 

specification A641/A641M. Epoxy coating is 

a mix of epoxy resin and hardener that can 

be applied to the surface of steel wire. 

Merchandise subject to this investigation 

are classified under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

categories 7314.20.0000 and 7314.39.0000.
