Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod From 

Italy: Continuation of Countervailing 

Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the countervailing 

duty (CVD) order on carbon and alloy 

steel wire rod (wire rod) from Italy 

would likely lead to the continuation or 

recurrence of countervailable subsidies, 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, Commerce is publishing 

a notice of continuation of this CVD 

order. 

DATES: Applicable August 2, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 21, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

CVD order on wire rod from Italy.1 On 

December 1, 2022, the ITC instituted,2

and Commerce initiated,3 the first 

sunset review of the Order, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act). As a result of its 

review, Commerce determined that 

revocation of the Order would likely 

lead to the continuation or recurrence of 

countervailable subsidies, and therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins of subsidy rates likely to prevail 

should the Order be revoked.4

On August 2, 2023, the ITC published 

its determination, pursuant to sections 

751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that 

revocation of the Order would likely 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the Order covers certain 

hot-rolled products of carbon steel and 

alloy steel, in coils, of approximately 

round cross section, less than 19.00 mm 

in actual solid cross-sectional diameter. 

Specifically excluded are steel products 

possessing the above-noted physical 

characteristics and meeting the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) definitions for 

(a) stainless steel; (b) tool steel; (c) highnickel steel; (d) ball bearing steel; or (e) 

concrete reinforcing bars and rods. Also 

excluded are free cutting steel (also 

known as free machining steel) products 

(i.e., products that contain by weight 

one or more of the following elements: 

0.1 percent or more of lead, 0.05 percent 

or more of bismuth, 0.08 percent or 

more of sulfur, more than 0.04 percent 

of phosphorous, more than 0.05 percent 

of selenium, or more than 0.01 percent 

of tellurium). All products meeting the 

physical description of subject 

merchandise that are not specifically 

excluded are included in this scope. 

The products under the Order are 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

7213.91.3011, 7213.91.3015, 

7213.91.3020, 7213.91.3093; 

7213.91.4500, 7213.91.6000, 

7213.99.0030, 7227.20.0030, 

7227.20.0080, 7227.90.6010, 

7227.90.6020, 7227.90.6030, and 

7227.90.6035 of the HTSUS. Products 

entered under subheadings 

7213.99.0090 and 7227.90.6090 of the 

HTSUS also may be included in this 

scope if they meet the physical 

description of subject merchandise 

above. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of the 

Order is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Order 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Order would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Order. U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection will continue to 

collect CVD cash deposits at the rates in 

effect at the time of entry for all imports 

of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Order will be August 2, 2023. 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

reviews of the Order not later than 30 

days prior to fifth anniversary of the 

date of the last determination by the 

Commission.6

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This five-year sunset review and this 

notice are in accordance with sections 

751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act and 

published in accordance with section 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).
