SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 9, 2020, Commerce published the AD and CVD orders on steel
threaded rod from China in the Federal Register.\1\ On October 15,
2024, Commerce published its initiation and preliminary results of the
CCRs of the Orders \2\ in the Federal Register, in which Commerce found
that changed circumstances warranted revocation of the Orders in part
with respect to certain wheel studs. Commerce provided interested
parties with the opportunity to comment and request a public hearing
regarding the Preliminary Results. Commerce did not receive any
comments or a request for a hearing from interested parties.

Orders, 85 FR 19927 (April 9, 2020) (CVD Order) (collectively
Orders).

Threaded Rod and Countervailing Duty Order on Carbon and Alloy Steel
Threaded Rod from the People's Republic of China: Initiation and
Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Reviews and Intent to
Revoke the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders, in Part, and
Preliminary Intent to Rescind Scope Inquiry, 89 FR 82972 (October
15, 2024) (Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of CCRs and Revocation of the Orders, in Part
We conducted these CCRs based on a request from Logistical Resource
Development Inc. (LRD), an importer of merchandise subject to these
CCRs. LRD requested that Commerce retroactively revoke the Orders, in
part, pursuant to section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.216(b) with respect to certain wheels
studs.\3\ Because no party submitted comments opposing the Preliminary
Results of these CCRs, and the record contains no other information or
evidence that calls into question the Preliminary Results, Commerce
determines, pursuant to sections 751(d)(1) and 782(h) of the Act, and
19 CFR 351.222(g), that there are changed circumstances that warrant
revocation of the Orders, in part, with respect to certain wheel studs
subject to LRD's request. Consequently, there is no decision memorandum
accompanying this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See LRD's Letter, ``Request for an Expedited Changed
Circumstances Review to Amend the Scope of the Order,'' dated August
23, 2024 (CCR Request).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Specifically, because producers accounting for substantially all
the production of the domestic like product to which the Orders pertain
have not expressed interest in maintaining the relief provided by the
Orders with respect to certain wheel studs, as described below,
Commerce is revoking the Orders, in part, with respect to certain wheel

The revised scope of the AD Order and the CVD Order is below.
Scope of the AD Order
The scope of the AD order covers alloy and certain carbon steel
threaded rod. Alloy and certain carbon steel threaded rod are certain
threaded rod, bar, or studs, of carbon or alloy steel, having a solid,
circular cross section of any diameter, in any straight length. Alloy
and certain carbon steel threaded rod are normally drawn, cold rolled,
threaded, and straightened, or it may be hot-rolled. In addition, the
alloy and certain carbon steel threaded rod, bar, or studs subject to
this order are non-headed and threaded along greater than 25 percent of
their total actual length. A variety of finishes or coatings, such as
plain oil finish as a temporary rust protectant, zinc coating (i.e.,
galvanized, whether by electroplating or hot-dipping), paint, and other
similar finishes and coatings, may be applied to the merchandise.
Alloy steel threaded rod is normally produced to American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM) specifications A193 B7/B7m, A193 B16,

Application of the Final Results of Review
LRD requested that Commerce apply the final results of these CCRs
retroactively, effective January 1, 2022.\4\ Section 751(d)(3) of the
Act provides that Commerce determines the date of application of the
revocation of an order.\5\ In the Preliminary Results, we stated our
intent ``to apply the partial revocation to unliquidated entries of
merchandise subject to the CCRs that were entered or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, as of January 1, 2022,'' and invited
comments.\6\ As explained above, we received no comments opposing the
intended retroactive application of the partial revocation. Therefore,
Commerce is applying the partial revocation to unliquidated entries of
merchandise subject to the CCRs that were entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, on or after January 1, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See CCR Request at 1.
\5\ See section 751(d)(3) of the Act (``determination under this
section to revoke an order or finding or terminate a suspended
investigation shall apply with respect to unliquidated entries of
the subject merchandise which are entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date determined by the
administering authority.'').
\6\ See Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 82974.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
Because we determine there are changed circumstances that warrant
the revocation of the Orders, in part, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping or countervailing duties, and
to refund any estimated antidumping and countervailing duties deposited
on all unliquidated entries of the merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 1, 2022, that are
covered by the revocation of the Orders, in part.
Commerce intends to issue instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of these final results of CCRs in
the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of
International Trade, the 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).
Rescission of the Scope Inquiry
In the Preliminary Results, we stated our intent to rescind the
concurrent scope inquiry of the Orders on steel threaded rod from China
with respect to the same wheel studs for which we are revoking the
Orders in part and invited comments.\7\ We received no comments from
interested parties. Because we are revoking the Orders in part with
respect
[[Page 91680]]
to the same wheel studs that are subject to the concurrent scope
inquiry, the concurrent scope inquiry is moot. Therefore, we are
rescinding the concurrent scope inquiry in accordance with 19 CFR
351.225(f)(6).
