Ternium Mexico, S.A. de C.V. 

(Ternium) is the successor–in-interest to 

Hylsa S.A. de C.V. (Hylsa) and, as a 

result, should be accorded the same 

treatment previously accorded to Hylsa 

in regard to the antidumping duty order 

on carbon and certain alloy steel wire 

rod (wire rod) from Mexico as of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 3, 2008, Ternium 

requested that the Department conduct 

a changed circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order on wire rod 

from Mexico to determine whether 

Ternium is the successor–in-interest to 

Hylsa. On November 12, 2008, the 

Department initiated a changed 

circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order on wire rod 

from Mexico. See Notice of Initiation of 

Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review: Carbon and 

Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from 

Mexico, 73 FR 66839 (November 12, 

2008) (Notice of Initiation). On April 2, 

2009, the Department made its 

preliminary determination that Ternium 

is the successor–in-interest to Hylsa and 

should be treated as such for 

antidumping duty cash deposit 

purposes. See Notice of Preliminary 

Results of Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review: Carbon and 

Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from 

Mexico, 74 FR 14957 (April 2, 2009) 

(Preliminary Results). In the Preliminary 

Results, we stated that interested parties 

could request a hearing no later than 10 

days or submit case briefs to the 

Department no later than 14 days after 

the publication of the Preliminary 

Results in the Federal Register, and 

submit rebuttal briefs, limited to the 

issues raised in those case briefs, seven 

days subsequent to the case briefs due 

date. We did not receive any hearing 

requests or comments on the 

Preliminary Results. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to this order 

is certain hot–rolled products of carbon 

steel and alloy steel, in coils, of 

approximately round cross section, 5.00 

mm or more, but less than 19.00 mm. in 

solid cross-sectional diameter. 

Specifically excluded are steel 

products possessing the above–noted 

physical characteristics and meeting the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) definitions for 

(a) stainless steel; (b) tool steel; (c) high 

nickel steel; (d) ball bearing steel; (e) 

concrete reinforcing bars and rods; and 

(f) free machining steel products (i.e., 

products that contain by weight one or 

more of the following elements: 0.03 

percent or more of lead, 0.05 percent or 

more of bismuth, 0.08 percent or more 

of sulfur, more than 0.04 percent of 

phosphorus, more than 0.05 percent of 

selenium, or more than 0.01 percent of 

tellurium). 

Also excluded from the scope are 

1080 grade tire cord quality wire rod 

and 1080 grade tire bead quality wire 

rod. This grade 1080 tire cord quality 

rod is defined as: (i) grade 1080 tire cord 

quality wire rod measuring 5.0 mm or 

more but not more than 6.0 mm in 

cross-sectional diameter; (ii) with an 

average partial decarburization of no 

more than 70 microns in depth 

(maximum individual 200 microns); (iii) 

having no non–deformable inclusions 

greater than 20 microns and no 

deformable inclusions greater than 35 

microns; (iv) having a carbon 

segregation per heat average of 3.0 or 

better using European Method NFA 04– 

114; (v) having a surface quality with no 

surface defects of a length greater than 

0.15 mm; (vi) capable of being drawn to 

a diameter of 0.30 mm or less with 3 or 

fewer breaks per ton, and (vii) 

containing by weight the following 

elements in the proportions shown: (1) 

0.78 percent or more of carbon, (2) less 

than 0.01 percent of aluminum, (3) 

0.040 percent or less, in the aggregate, 

of phosphorus and sulfur, (4) 0.006 

percent or less of nitrogen, and (5) not 

more than 0.15 percent, in the aggregate, 

of copper, nickel and chromium. 

This grade 1080 tire bead quality rod 

is defined as: (i) grade 1080 tire bead 

quality wire rod measuring 5.5 mm or 

more but not more than 7.0 mm in 

cross-sectional diameter; (ii) with an 

average partial decarburization of no 

more than 70 microns in depth 

(maximum individual 200 microns); (iii) 

having no non–deformable inclusions 

greater than 20 microns and no 

deformable inclusions greater than 35 

microns; (iv) having a carbon 

segregation per heat average of 3.0 or 

better using European Method NFA 04– 

114; (v) having a surface quality with no 

surface defects of a length greater than 

0.2 mm; (vi) capable of being drawn to 

a diameter of 0.78 mm or larger with 0.5 

or fewer breaks per ton; and (vii) 

containing by weight the following 

elements in the proportions shown: (1) 

0.78 percent or more of carbon, (2) less 

than 0.01 percent of soluble aluminum, 

(3) 0.040 percent or less, in the 

aggregate, of phosphorus and sulfur, (4) 

0.008 percent or less of nitrogen, and (5) 

either not more than 0.15 percent, in the 

aggregate, of copper, nickel and 

chromium (if chromium is not 

specified), or not more than 0.10 percent 

in the aggregate of copper and nickel 

and a chromium content of 0.24 to 0.30 

percent (if chromium is specified). 

For purposes of the grade 1080 tire 

cord quality wire rod and the grade 

1080 tire bead quality wire rod, an 

inclusion will be considered to be 

deformable if its ratio of length 

(measured along the axis - that is, the 

direction of rolling - of the rod) over 

thickness (measured on the same 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 13, 2009 / Notices 22515 

inclusion in a direction perpendicular 

to the axis of the rod) is equal to or 

greater than three. The size of an 

inclusion for purposes of the 20 microns 

and 35 microns limitations is the 

measurement of the largest dimension 

observed on a longitudinal section 

measured in a direction perpendicular 

to the axis of the rod. This measurement 

methodology applies only to inclusions 

on certain grade 1080 tire cord quality 

wire rod and certain grade 1080 tire 

bead quality wire rod that are entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after July 24, 2003. 

The designation of the products as 

‘‘tire cord quality’’ or ‘‘tire bead quality’’ 

indicates the acceptability of the 

product for use in the production of tire 

cord, tire bead, or wire for use in other 

rubber reinforcement applications such 

as hose wire. These quality designations 

are presumed to indicate that these 

products are being used in tire cord, tire 

bead, and other rubber reinforcement 

applications, and such merchandise 

intended for the tire cord, tire bead, or 

other rubber reinforcement applications 

is not included in the scope. However, 

should the petitioners or other 

interested parties provide a reasonable 

basis to believe or suspect that there 

exists a pattern of importation of such 

products for other than those 

applications, end–use certification for 

the importation of such products may be 

required. Under such circumstances, 

only the importers of record would 

normally be required to certify the end 

use of the imported merchandise. 

All products meeting the physical 

description of subject merchandise that 

are not specifically excluded are 

included in this scope. 

The products subject to this order are 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

7213.91.3011, 7213.91.3015, 

7213.91.3092, 7213.91.4500, 

7213.91.6000, 7213.99.0030, 

7213.99.0090, 7227.20.0000, 

7227.90.6010, and 7227.90.6080 of the 

HTSUS. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

proceeding is dispositive. 

Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review 

Based on the information provided by 

Ternium, the Department’s analysis in 

the Preliminary Results, and the fact 

that interested parties did not submit 

any comments during the comment 

period, the Department hereby 

determines that Ternium is the 

successor–in-interest to Hylsa for 

antidumping duty cash deposit 

purposes. 

Instructions to U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

continue to suspend liquidation of all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

produced and exported by Ternium 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption, on or after the 

publication date of this notice in the 

Federal Register at 17.94 percent (i.e., 

Hylsa’s cash deposit rate). This deposit 

requirement shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective orders (APOs) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.306. Timely written 

notification of the return/destruction of 

APO materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 

violation. 

This notice is in accordance with 

sections 751(b) and 777(i)(1) and (2) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 

19 CFR 351.216(e).
