SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 27, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register 
the final determination in the circumvention inquiry for the AD order 
on PC strand Mexico.\1\ In the Final Determination, we inadvertently 
omitted the ``Liquidation of Entries'' section announcing our intent to 
order the liquidation of entries of merchandise subject to the AD order 
on PC strand from Mexico that entered during the prior administrative 
review period for the AD order on PC strand from Mexico. Specifically, 
Commerce did not receive a request to conduct an administrative review 
for the AD order on PC strand from Mexico for the period from January 
1, 2023, to December 31, 2023,\2\ thus entries of subject merchandise 
during this period were automatically liquidated pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.212(c). However, following the Preliminary Determination, Commerce 
instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash 
deposits and suspend the liquidation of entries of merchandise covered 
by the inquiry that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after July 31, 2023, until specific instructions for 
liquidation were issued.\3\

Correction

    In the Federal Register of September 27, 2024, in FR Doc 2024-
22113, on page 79253, in the third column, correct the text by adding 
the following section below the ``Final Circumvention Determination'' 
section:

Liquidation of Entries

    For all entries of merchandise subject to the AD order on PC strand 
from Mexico, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or 
before December 31, 2023, Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate those entries at the applicable AD 
rates for those entries.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Commerce is not conducting an administrative review of the 
AD order on PC strand from Mexico for the period ending on December 
31, 2023. Therefore, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate all 
entries through the end of the last administrative review period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue liquidation instructions to CBP no 
earlier than 41 days after the date of publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register. If a timely notice of intent to contest this 
final determination is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, 
the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 
entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory 
injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
781(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226(g)(2).

    Dated: October 23, 2024.
