SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 4, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
this review in the Federal Register.\1\ We invited interested parties
to comment on the Preliminary Results. This review covers one mandatory
respondent selected for individual examination, Deacero S.A.P.I de C.V.
(Deacero). We received case briefs from Deacero and Nucor Corporation
(Nucor, or the petitioner).\2\ Subsequently, we received a rebuttal
brief from Deacero.\3\ A complete summary of the events that occurred
since publication of the Preliminary Results is found in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.\4\ Commerce conducted this review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

The merchandise subject to the Order is wire rod, in coils, of
approximately round cross section, 5.00 mm or more, but less than 19.00
mm, in solid cross-sectional diameter.
A full description of the scope of the Order is contained in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties to
this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. The
issues are identified in the appendix to this notice. The Issues and
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
on the internet at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received from parties, we
have made certain revisions to the margin calculation for Deacero.\6\
For detailed information, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Respondent Not Selected for Individual Examination
Commerce did not select Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V. (Ternium) for
individual examination. Further, Ternium was not the subject of a
withdrawal of request for review; did not request to participate as a
voluntary respondent; did not submit a claim of no shipments; and was
not otherwise collapsed with a mandatory respondent. Therefore, Ternium
remains a respondent not selected for individual examination. As
explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we have assigned to
Ternium the weighted-average dumping margin calculated for Deacero.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period October 1, 2019, through September 30,
2020:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producers/exporters dumping
margins
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deacero S.A.P.I de C.V...................................... 4.64
Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V.................................. 4.64
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this
proceeding within five days after publication of these final results in
the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this review.
For Deacero, Commerce has calculated importer-specific antidumping
duty assessment rates by aggregating the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales of each importer and dividing each of
these amounts by the total entered value associated with those sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),
we will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to antidumping duties
any entries for which the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or
de minimis. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced
by Deacero for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries
at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction. For the companies not
selected for individual examination, we will instruct CBP to apply an
assessment rate to all entries produced and/or exported by those
companies equal to the dumping margin indicated above. Commerce intends
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 41 days after the date of
publication of these final results of review.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See 19 CFR 351.356.8(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)
of the Act: (1) For producers or exporters covered in this
administrative review, the cash deposit rates will be the rates
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for
producers or exporters not covered in this administrative review but
covered in a prior segment
[[Page 13707]]
of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the
original investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most recent period for the
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 20.11 percent, the
all-others rate established in the investigation.\8\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Order, 67 FR at 65947.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: March 3, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
