SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 9, 2020, the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) published the 

Orders.1 On August 23, 2024, LRD, an 

importer of subject merchandise, 

requested, through CCRs, that 

Commerce retroactively revoke the 

Orders, in part, pursuant to section 

751(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.216(b) with respect to certain 

wheels studs.2 LRD stated that it 

qualifies as an importer of wheel studs 

currently subject to duties and, as such, 

is an interested party pursuant to 

section 771(9)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.102(b)(29)(ii).3 On August 30, 2024, 

Vulcan Threaded Rod Products Inc. (the 

petitioner) submitted comments 

indicating that it does not oppose the 

partial scope revocation requested in 

LRD’s CCR request.4

On September 3, 2024, Commerce 

requested that LRD provide additional 

information related to its CCR Request.5

LRD timely responded to the 

questionnaire on September 17, 2024.6

In its CCR Supplement, LRD provided 

statements from three domestic 

producers, All Ohio Threaded Rod (All 

Ohio); Highland Thread, Inc. (Highland 

Thread); and Bay Standard 

Manufacturing Inc. (Bay Standard), 

indicating that they either were not 

interested in participating in the CCRs 

or were not contesting LRD’s proposal.7

The petitioner timely responded to the 

supplemental questionnaire on 

September 17, 2024, and provided 

information on the production of 

domestic like product.8 On September 

24, 2024, Commerce requested that LRD 

and the petitioner provide further 

supplemental information relating to 

production values of domestic 

producers.9 On September 24, 2024, the 

petitioner timely responded and 

demonstrated that it and All Ohio, 

Highland Thread, and Bay Standard 

collectively represent ‘‘substantially all’’ 

of the production of the domestic like 

product.10 No interested parties filed 

comments opposing the CCR Request. 

Further, LRD requested that Commerce 

conduct expedited CCRs.11

Scope of the Orders 

Appendices I and II contain the scope 

of the AD Order and the scope of the 

CVD Order, respectively.

Initiation of CCRs 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce will conduct a CCR 

upon receipt of a request from an 

interested party that shows changed 

circumstances sufficient to warrant a 

review of the order. Section 782(h)(2) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g)(1)(i) 

provide that Commerce may revoke an 

order (in whole or in part) if it 

determines that producers accounting 

for substantially all of the production of 

the domestic like product have 

expressed a lack of interest in the order, 

in whole or in part. In its administrative 

practice, Commerce has interpreted 

‘‘substantially all’’ to mean producers 

accounting for at least 85 percent of the 

total U.S. production of the domestic 

like product covered by the order.13

Further, 19 CFR 351.222(g)(2) provides 

that Commerce will conduct a CCR 

under 19 CFR 351.216, and may revoke 

an order, in whole or in part, if it 

determines that revocation is warranted. 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.216(d), Commerce determines that 

the information submitted by LRD, the 

petitioner, and other domestic 

producers, indicates that substantially 

all the domestic industry no longer has 

a continued interest in having the scope 

of the Orders cover certain wheel studs 

described above. Thus, there are 

changed circumstances sufficient to 

warrant a review of the Orders. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

751(b)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.216(d), 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), and 19 CFR 

351.222(g), we are initiating these CCRs. 

Preliminary Results of the CCRs and 

Intent To Revoke the Orders, in Part 

Section 351.221(c)(3)(ii) of 

Commerce’s regulations permits 

Commerce to combine the notice of 

initiation of a CCR and the notice of 

preliminary results if Commerce 

concludes that expedited action is 

warranted.14 In this instance, because 

the record contains information 

necessary to make a preliminary 

finding, we find that expedited action is 

warranted and have combined the 

notice of initiation and the notice of 

preliminary results.15

Pursuant to section 751(d)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.222(g), Commerce 

preliminarily determines that there is a 

reasonable basis to believe that changed 

circumstances exist sufficient to warrant 

partial revocation of the Orders. As 

explained above, domestic threaded rod 

producers accounting for greater than 85 

percent of the domestic industry, 

including the original petitioner and 

other domestic threaded rod producers, 

have expressed no interest in opposing 

LRD’s CCR Request.16 Substantially all 

of the domestic industry appears to have 

no interest in maintaining the Orders 

with respect to the specific products 

which are the subject of LRD’s request.17

The domestic industry has not 

commented on whether the proposed 

partial scope revocation should be 

retroactive. 

In light of the domestic producers’ 

statements of no interest in opposing the 

revocation of the Orders, in part, with 

respect to the wheel studs as described 

by LRD, and in the absence of any other 

interested party comments addressing 

the issue of domestic industry support, 

we preliminarily conclude that 

producers accounting for substantially 

all of the production of the domestic 

like product to which the Orders pertain 

lack interest in the relief provided by 

the Orders with respect to wheel studs 

that are the subject of LRD’s revocation 

request. Thus, we preliminarily 

determine that changed circumstances 

warrant revocation of the Orders, in 

part, with respect to such wheel studs 

as described above by LRD. 

Accordingly, we are notifying the public 

of our intent to revoke the Orders, in 

part, with respect to wheel studs 

described in the ‘‘Proposed Partial 

Revocation of the Orders’’ section 

above.

Additionally, LRD requested that

If we make a final determination to 

revoke the Orders in part, we intend to 

apply the partial revocation to 

unliquidated entries of merchandise 

subject to the CCRs that were entered or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption, as of January 1, 2022. 

Intent To Rescind Scope Inquiry 

On December 22, 2024, Commerce 

received a request for a scope ruling 

from LRD on whether the same thirteen 

wheel studs described above are subject 

to the Orders.18 Commerce initiated this 

scope inquiry on January 22, 2024.19

Because these 13 wheel studs are the 

subject of this CCR, and we 

preliminarily intend to revoke the 

Orders, in part, with respect to these 13 

wheels studs, we also preliminarily 

intend to rescind the scope inquiry, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(f)(6). 

Public Comment 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(1)(ii), interested parties may 

submit case briefs not later than 14 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice.20 Rebuttal briefs, limited to 

issues raised in the case briefs, may be 

filed no later than five days after the due 

date for case briefs.21

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In these CCRs, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide at the beginning of their briefs 

a public, executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.22 Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

public executive summary of each issue 

to no more than 450 words, not 

including citations. We intend to use 

the public executive summaries as the 

basis of the comment summaries 

included in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum that will accompany the 

final results in these CCRs. We request 

that interested parties include footnotes 

for relevant citations in the public 

executive summary of each issue. Note 

that Commerce has amended certain of 

its requirements pertaining to the 

service of documents in 19 CFR 

351.303(f).23 An electronically filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the day on which it is 

due. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), any 

interested party may request a hearing 

within 14 days of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register.24 Hearing 

requests should contain the following 

information: (1) the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

the issues to be discussed. Oral 

presentations at the hearing will be 

limited to issues raised in the briefs.25

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 the date and the 

time of the hearing two days before the 

scheduled date. 

Final Results of CCRs 

Unless extended, consistent with 19 

CFR 351.216(e), Commerce intends to 

issue the final results of these CCRs no 

later than 270 days after the date on 

which these reviews were initiated or 45 

days if all parties agree to the 

preliminary results. If, in the final 

results of these reviews, we continue to 

determine that changed circumstances 

warrant the revocation of the Orders, in 

part, we will instruct U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate 

without regard to antidumping or 

countervailing duties, and to refund any 

estimated antidumping and 

countervailing duties deposited on all 

unliquidated entries of the merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after January 1, 

2022, that are covered by the revocation 

in part. The current requirement for 

cash deposits of estimated antidumping 

or countervailing duties on all entries of 

subject merchandise will continue 

unless they are modified pursuant to the 

final results of these changed CCRs. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice of initiation and 

preliminary results is published in 

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

Act, 19 CFR 351.216(b)), and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(3)(ii).

percent of their total actual length. A variety 

of finishes or coatings, such as plain oil 

finish as a temporary rust protectant, zinc 

coating (i.e., galvanized, whether by 

electroplating or hot-dipping), paint, and 

other similar finishes and coatings, may be 

applied to the merchandise.
