above a size-exemption level. The 

sample data are used to derive universe 

estimates of direct investment 

transactions, positions, and income in 

nonbenchmark years from similar data 

reported in the BE–12, Benchmark 

Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in 

the United States, which is conducted 

every five years. The data collected 

through the BE–605 survey are essential 

for the preparation of the U.S. 

international transactions, national 

income and product, and input-output 

accounts and the net international 

investment position of the United 

States. The data are needed to measure 

the size and economic significance of 

foreign direct investment in the United 

States, measure changes in such 

investment, and assess its impact on the 

U.S. economy. The Bureau of Economic 

Analysis (BEA) is not proposing any 

changes to the BE–605 survey. 

II. Method of Collection 

Notice of specific reporting 

requirements, including who is to 

report, the information to be reported, 

the manner of reporting, and the time 

and place of filing reports, will be 

mailed to potential respondents each 

quarter. Reports are due 30 days after 

the close of each calendar or fiscal 

quarter, or 45 days if the report is for the 

final quarter of the respondent’s 

financial reporting year. Reports are 

required from every U.S. business 

enterprise in which a foreign entity 

owns, directly and/or indirectly, 10 

percent or more of the voting securities 

of the U.S. business enterprise if it is 

incorporated, or an equivalent interest if 

it is unincorporated, at any time during 

the quarter, and that meets the 

additional conditions detailed in Form 

BE–605. Certain private funds are 

exempt from reporting. Entities required 

to report will be contacted individually 

by BEA. Entities not contacted by BEA 

have no reporting responsibilities. 

Potential respondents include those 

U.S. business enterprises that were 

required to report on the BE–12, 

Benchmark Survey of Foreign Direct 

Investment in the United States—2017, 

along with those U.S. business 

enterprises that subsequently have 

become at least partly foreign owned. 

BEA offers electronic filing through its 

eFile system (www.bea.gov/efile) for use 

in reporting on the BE–605 survey 

forms. In addition, BEA posts its survey 

forms and reporting instructions on its 

website (www.bea.gov/fdi).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 6, 2014, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on rebar from 

Mexico.1 On November 1, 2022, 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register a notice of opportunity to 

request administrative reviews of the 

Order.2 On January 3, 2023, based on 

timely requests for review, in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) 

and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce 

initiated an administrative review of the 

Order covering 20 companies.3 On 

January 3, 2023, we selected Deacero 

Group 4 and Grupo Acerero S.A. de C.V. 

(Acerero) for individual examination as 

the mandatory respondents in this 

administrative review.5 Pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results until November 3, 

2023.6

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of the 

review, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.7 A list of topics included 

in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included in the 

appendix 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 https://

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is steel concrete reinforcing bar from 

Mexico. The rebar subject to the Order 

is currently classified under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings 

7213.10.0000, 7214.20.0000, 

7228.30.8010, 7215.90.1000, 

7215.90.5000, 7221.00.0017, 

7221.00.0018, 7221.00.0030, 

7221.00.0045, 7222.11.0001, 

7222.11.0057, 7222.11.0059, 

7222.30.0001, 7227.20.0080, 

7227.90.6085, 7228.20.1000, and 

7228.60.6000. While HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and Customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of the 

Order is dispositive. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act. Constructed export price was 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. Normal value was 

calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. For a full description of 

the methodology underlying our 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

For the rate for companies not 

selected for individual examination in 

an administrative review, generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in a lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation. 

Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, 

the all-others rate is normally ‘‘an 

amount equal to the weighted average of 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins established for 

exporters and producers individually 

investigated, excluding any zero or de 

minimis margins, and any margins 

determined entirely {on the basis of 

facts available}.’’ In this administrative 

review, we calculated weighted-average 

dumping margins for Deacero Group 

and Acerero that are not zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on total facts 

available. For the respondents that were 

not selected for individual examination 

in this administrative review, we have 

assigned to them the weighted-average 

dumping margins calculated for Deacero 

Group and Acerero, consistent with the
