Filing Information 

As a courtesy, we are making 

information related to sunset 

proceedings, including copies of the 

pertinent statute and Department’s 

regulations, the Department’s schedule 

for Sunset Reviews, a listing of past 

revocations and continuations, and 

current service lists, available to the 

public on the Department’s Web site at 

the following address: http://

enforcement.trade.gov/sunset/. All 

submissions in these Sunset Reviews 

must be filed in accordance with the 

Department’s regulations regarding 

format, translation, and service of 

documents. These rules, including 

electronic filing requirements via 

Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS), can be found at 19 CFR 

351.303.1

This notice serves as a reminder that 

any party submitting factual information 

in an AD/CVD proceeding must certify 

to the accuracy and completeness of that 

information.2 Parties are hereby 

reminded that revised certification 

requirements are in effect for company/ 

government officials as well as their 

representatives in these segments.3 The 

formats for the revised certifications are 

provided at the end of the Final Rule. 

The Department intends to reject factual 

submissions if the submitting party does 

not comply with the revised 

certification requirements. 

On April 10, 2013, the Department 

modified two regulations related to AD/ 

CVD proceedings: The definition of 

factual information (19 CFR 

351.102(b)(21)), and the time limits for 

the submission of factual information 

(19 CFR 351.301).4 Parties are advised to 

review the final rule, available at http:// 

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/ 

1304frn/2013-08227.txt, prior to 

submitting factual information in these 

segments. To the extent that other 

regulations govern the submission of 

factual information in a segment (such 

as 19 CFR 351.218), these time limits 

will continue to be applied. Parties are 

also advised to review the final rule 

concerning the extension of time limits 

for submissions in AD/CVD 

proceedings, available at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/2013/ 

1309frn/2013-22853.txt, prior to 

submitting factual information in these 

segments.5

Letters of Appearance and 

Administrative Protective Orders 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), the 

Department will maintain and make 

available a public service list for these 

proceedings. Parties wishing to 

participate in any of these five-year 

reviews must file letters of appearance 

as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d)). To 

facilitate the timely preparation of the 

public service list, it is requested that 

those seeking recognition as interested 

parties to a proceeding submit an entry 

of appearance within 10 days of the 

publication of the Notice of Initiation. 

Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews 

can be very short, we urge interested 

parties who want access to proprietary 

information under administrative 

protective order (APO) to file an APO 

application immediately following 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of initiation. The 

Department’s regulations on submission 

of proprietary information and 

eligibility to receive access to business 

proprietary information under APO can 

be found at 19 CFR 351.304–306. 

Information Required From Interested 

Parties 

Domestic interested parties, as 

defined in section 771(9)(C), (D), (E), (F), 

and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.102(b), wishing to participate in a 

Sunset Review must respond not later 

than 15 days after the date of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 29, 2002, the Department 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on wire rod 

from Mexico.1 On May 19, 2016, the 

Department published its final results of 

the 2013–2014 administrative review of 

the Order, in which it assigned AMLT 

a 2.59 percent dumping margin.2 On 

August 15, 2017, AMM, a foreign 

producer of the subject merchandise, 

requested that the Department initiate 

and conduct a changed circumstance 

review to determine that AMM is the 

successor-in-interest to AMLT for the 

purposes of the Order.3 On September 

12, 2017, AMM filed a letter stating it 

conferred with counsel for interested 

parties to this proceeding, specifically, 

counsel for Nucor Corporation, counsel 

for Gerdau Ameristeel USA, Charter 

Steel, and Keystone Steel, and counsel 

for Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Deacero 

USA (a group which included domestic 

interested parties/petitioners to the 

Order), at which time they stated they 

would not oppose the August 15, 2017, 

request.4 AMM further requested that 

the Department initiate and conduct an 

expedited changed circumstances 

review.5

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is carbon and certain alloy steel 

wire rod. The product is currently 

classified under the Harmonized Tariff

Initiation of Changed Circumstances 

Review 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and the Department’s regulations (19 

CFR 351.216 and 351.221(c)(3)), the 

Department will conduct a changed 

circumstances review upon receipt of 

information concerning, or a request 

from an interested party for a review of, 

an order which shows changed 

circumstances sufficient to warrant a 

review of the order. Generally, in the 

past, the Department has used CCRs to 

address the applicability of cash deposit 

rates after there have been changes in 

the name or structure of a respondent, 

such as a merger or spinoff (i.e., 

successor-in-interest, or successorship 

determinations).7
