SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 9, 2021, Commerce published its affirmative final
determinations in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of PC
strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia,
and Ukraine.\1\ On May 24, 2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its final
determinations, pursuant to section 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), that an industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the
Act by reason of LTFV imports of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy,
Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine, and its negative
critical circumstances finding with respect to dumped imports of PC
strand from Indonesia.\2\

Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are PC strand from Indonesia,
Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine. For a
complete description of the scope of these orders, see the appendix to
this notice.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On May 24, 2021, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the
ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations in these
investigations, in which it found that an industry in the United States
is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of
the Act by reason of imports of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy,
Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine.\3\ Therefore, in
accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing these
antidumping duty orders. Because the ITC determined that imports of PC
strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia,
[[Page 29999]]
South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine are materially injuring a
U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Indonesia,
Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment
of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South
Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine. With the exception of entries
occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and
before publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury
determinations, as further described below, antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy,
Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after November 19,
2020, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations.\4\

(collectively, Preliminary Determinations).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries
of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain,
Tunisia, and Ukraine. These instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits
equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in
the tables below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in
the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative
injury determinations, CBP will require, at the same time as importers
would normally deposit estimated duties on subject merchandise, a cash
deposit equal to the rates listed below. The relevant all-others rate
applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed.
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances
determination on imports of PC strand from Indonesia, we intend to
instruct CBP to lift suspension and to refund any cash deposits made to
secure the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to
entries of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after August 21, 2020 (i.e., 90 days
prior to the date of the publication of the Preliminary
Determinations), but before November 19, 2020 (i.e., the date of
publication of the Preliminary Determinations).
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months.
At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion
of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain,
Tunisia, and Ukraine, Commerce extended the four-month period to six
months in each of these investigations. Commerce published the
preliminary determinations in these investigations on November 19,
2020.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Preliminary Determinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The extended provisional measures period, beginning on the date of
publication of the Preliminary Determinations, ends on May 17, 2021.
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice,\6\ Commerce intends to instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of PC strand from Indonesia,
Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after May 17, 2021, the final
day on which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through
the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final
affirmative injury determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension
of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the
date of publication of the ITC's final determinations in the Federal
Register.

Appendix--Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are prestressed concrete
steel wire strand (PC strand), produced from wire of non-stainless,
non-galvanized steel, which is suitable for use in prestressed
concrete (both pretensioned and post-tensioned) applications. The
product definition encompasses covered and uncovered strand and all
types, grades, and diameters of PC strand. PC strand is normally
sold in the United States in sizes ranging from 0.25 inches to 0.70
inches in diameter. PC strand made from galvanized wire is only
excluded from the scope if the zinc and/or zinc oxide coating meets
or exceeds the 0.40 oz./ft\2\ standard set forth in ASTM-A-475.
The PC strand subject to these orders are currently classifiable
under subheadings 7312.10.3010 and 7312.10.3012 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these orders is dispositive.
