Topic for Comment 

The Commission requests comment 

on the following topic. 

International 

The adoption of competition or 

antitrust laws by over 100 jurisdictions 

around the world, as well as the 

globalization of commerce and markets, 

has given rise to the potential for 

conflict between the United States and 

foreign jurisdictions with respect to 

enforcement actions taken and remedies 

sought. Are there multilateral 

procedures that should be implemented, 

or other actions taken, to enhance 

international antitrust comity? In 

commenting, please address the 

significance of the issue, what solutions 

might reduce that problem, and how 

such solutions could be implemented by 

the United States. 

Dated: November 9, 2005.

Modernization Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 12, 2005, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

preliminary results of the second 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on carbon and 

certain alloy steel wire rod from 

Trinidad and Tobago. See Preliminary 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review: Carbon and 

Certain Steel Alloy Steel Wire Rod From 

Trinidad and Tobago, 70 FR 39990 (July 

12, 2005) (‘‘Preliminary Results’’). 

We invited parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results. On July 26, 2005, 

we extended the deadline for filing case 

briefs and rebuttal briefs to August 26, 

2005, and August 31, 2005, respectively. 

On August 26, 2005, we received case 

briefs from the sole respondent, 

Carribean Ispat Limited (now known as 

Mittal Steel Point Lisas Limited) and its 

affiliates Ispat North America Inc. (now 

known as Mittal Steel North America) 

and Walker Wire (Ispat) Inc. 

(collectively ‘‘CIL’’), and the petitioners: 

ISG Georgetown Inc. (formerly 

Georgetown Steel Company), Gerdau 

Ameristeel US Inc. (formerly Co–Steel 

Raritan, Inc.), Keystone Consolidated 

Industries, Inc., and North Star Steel 

Texas, Inc. CIL and the petitioners 

submitted rebuttal briefs on August 31, 

2005. 

On September 1, 2005, CIL submitted 

a letter to the Department requesting 

that the Department remove the 

petitioners’ rebuttal brief because it 

contained a new argument. On 

September 6, 2005, we returned the 

petitioners rebuttal brief filed with the 

new argument. On September 9, 2005, 

the petitioners submitted a letter 

objecting to the Department’s rejection 

of its rebuttal brief and also argued that 

CIL submitted new information and new 

arguments in its rebuttal brief. On 

September 13, 2005, the petitioners 

resubmitted its brief as requested by the 

Department. On September 14, 2005, the 

Department sent a letter to the 

petitioners explaining that CIL’s rebuttal 

brief only contained new information 

with regards to the referenced website 

and that the Department would 

disregard any information referenced 

from the website.
