# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    On November 3, 2014, the Department initiated the second sunset review of the                     *Order*                     [1]                                          pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the “Act”).[2]                                          On November 17, 2014, the Department received a timely notification of intent to participate from Insteel Wire Products Company and Sumiden Wire Products Corporation (collectively, “domestic parties” or “Petitioners”), filed in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). On December 3, 2014, the Department received a substantive response from Petitioners, timely filed in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).                

                    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, the Department 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. The Department did not receive a substantive response from the                           ( print page 12805)                        Government of India or any Indian producers or exporters. Accordingly, we conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the                     *Order.*

## Scope of the Order

The merchandise subject to this order is prestressed concrete steel wire (“PC strand”), which is steel strand produced from wire of non-stainless, non-galvanized steel, which is suitable for use in prestressed concrete (both pre-tensioned and post-tensioned) applications. The product definition encompasses covered and uncovered strand and all types, grades, and diameters of PC strand.

The merchandise under this 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 merchandise under investigation is dispositive.

## Analysis of Comments Received

                    All issues raised in this review are addressed in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (“IDM”), which is hereby adopted by this notice.[3]                                          The issues discussed in the IDM include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy and the net countervailable subsidy likely to prevail if the                     *Order*                     were revoked. Parties can find a complete discussion of all issues raised in this expedited sunset review and the corresponding recommendations in this public memorandum which is on file electronically via the Enforcement and Compliance Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (“ACCESS”).[4]                                          ACCESS is available to registered users at                     *http://access.trade.gov*                     and in the Central Records Unit, Room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building.

## Final Results of Review

                    Pursuant to sections 752(b)(1) and (3) of the Act, the Department determines that revocation of the                     *Order*                     would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy for all producers/manufacturers/exporters at a net countervailable subsidy rate of 62.92 percent.
