SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 24, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
AD orders on steel wire rod from Belarus, Russia, and the UAE.\1\ On
March 14, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD
orders on steel wire rod from South Africa and Ukraine.\2\ Finally, on
May 21, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD orders
on steel wire rod from Italy, Korea, Spain, Turkey, and the United
Kingdom (collectively, Orders).\3\ On December 1, 2022, the ITC
instituted,\4\ and Commerce initiated,\5\ the first sunset reviews of
these Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). As a result of its reviews, Commerce determined that
revocation of these Orders would be likely to lead to continuation or
recurrence of dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude
of the margins and net subsidy rates likely to prevail should the
Orders be revoked.\6\

of bismuth, 0.08 percent or more of sulfur, more than 0.04 percent of

revocation of the Orders would likely lead to a continuation or a
recurrence of dumping and material injury to an industry in the United
States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(a),
Commerce hereby orders the continuation of the Orders. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping duty cash
deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for all imports of
subject merchandise.
The effective date of the continuation of the Orders will be August
2, 2023.\8\ Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
