duty (AD) order on prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand)

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by the inquiry that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for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from Mexico, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or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).
