SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Codex was established in 1963 by two 

United Nations organizations, the Food 

and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and 

the World Health Organization (WHO). 

Through adoption of food standards, 

codes of practice, and other guidelines 

developed by its committees, and by 

promoting their adoption and 

implementation by governments, Codex 

seeks to protect the health of consumers 

and ensure fair practices in the food 

trade. 

The Terms of Reference of the Codex 

Committee on Spices and Culinary 

Herbs (CCSCH) are: 

(a) To elaborate worldwide standards 

for spices and culinary herbs in their 

dried and dehydrated state in whole, 

ground, and cracked or crushed form; 

(b) To consult, as necessary, with 

other international organizations in the 

standards development process to avoid 

duplication. 

The CCSCH is hosted by India. The 

United States attends the CCSCH as a 

member country of Codex. 

Issues To Be Discussed at the Public 

Meeting 

The following items from the 

forthcoming Agenda for the 6th Session

• Proposed draft standard for turmeric 

• Consideration of the proposals for

• Update to the template for SCH 

standards 

• Date and place of the next session 

Public Meeting

meeting, draft U.S. positions on the 

agenda items will be described and 

discussed, and attendees will have the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 21, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on wire 

rod from Korea.1 On April 8, 2019, 

Commerce revoked, in part, the Order 

with respect to grade 1078 and higher 

tire cord quality wire rod used in the 

production of tire cord wire.2 On June 

13, 2019, Commerce revoked, in part, 

the Order with respect to valve spring 

quality (VSQ) wire rod.3

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(B) of Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). On July 6, 

2021, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated this review 

covering POSCO, the sole producer and 

exporter for which a review was 

requested.4 On January 12, 2022, we 

extended the deadline for issuing the 

preliminary results until May 26, 2022.5

For a detailed description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.6

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the Order includes 

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 crosssectional diameter. Excluded from the 

scope are grade 1078 and higher tire 

cord quality wire rod to be used in the 

production of tire cord wire. Also, 

excluded from the scope are VSQ steel 

products which are defined as wire rod. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of the Order, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.7

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act. Constructed export prices are 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. Normal value is 

calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. For a full description of 

the methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as 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://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin for the period May 1, 2020, 

through April 30, 2021: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

POSCO/POSCO International Corporation 8 ....... 0.00 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, ADs on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.9 The 

final results of this review shall be the 

basis for the assessment of ADs on 

entries of merchandise covered by this 

review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.10

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this review in the 

Federal Register. If a timely summons is 

filed at the U.S. Court of International 

Trade, the assessment instructions will 

direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 

entries until the time for parties to file 

a request for a statutory injunction has 

expired (i.e., within 90 days of 

publication). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

where an examined respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), we will calculate an importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rate based on the ratio of the total
