hot-rolled products of carbon steel and 

alloy steel, in coils, of approximately 

round cross section, less than 19.00 mm 

in actual 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) highnickel steel; (d) ball bearing steel; or (e)

more of bismuth, 0.08 percent or more 

of sulfur, more than 0.04 percent of

Background.—The final phase of 

these investigations is being scheduled 

pursuant to section 705(b) of the Tariff

subsidies within the meaning of section 

703 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b) are 

being provided to manufacturers, 

producers, or exporters in Italy and 

Turkey of wire rod. The investigations 

were requested in petitions filed on 

March 28, 2017 by Charter Steel, 

Saukville, Wisconsin; Gerdau 

Ameristeel US Inc., Tampa, Florida;
