SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On March 14, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
AD order on wire rod from Ukraine.\1\ On March 1, 2024, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an
administrative review of the Order.\2\ On April 1, 2024, Commercial
Metals Company and Nucor Corporation (collectively, the petitioners)
submitted a timely request that Commerce conduct an administrative
review of the Order.\3\ On May 8, 2024, Commerce published in the
Federal Register its notice of initiation of an administrative review
of the Order, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).\4\

South Africa and Ukraine: Antidumping Duty Orders, 83 FR 11175
(March 14, 2018) (Order).
\2\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity To Request Administrative
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 89 FR 15157 (March 1,

Review,'' dated April 1, 2024.

Administrative Reviews, 89 FR 38867 (May 8, 2024) (Initiation
Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This review covers subject merchandise exported and/or produced by
the following six companies: (1) ArcelorMittal Steel Kryvyi Rih; (2)
Public Joint Stock Company Yenakiieve Iron and Steel Works; (3) PrJSC
Electrometallurgical Works Dneprospetsstal; (4) PJSC Dneprovsky Iron &
Steel Integrated Works; (5) Metinvest Holding LLC; and (6) Variant Agro
Build Ltd.\5\ On May 10, 2024, we placed on the record U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) data for entries of wire rod from Ukraine
during the POR, showing no reviewable POR entries for any company
listed in the Initiation Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Id., 89 FR 38871.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 6, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of
its intent to rescind the instant review because there were no
reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise by any of the
companies subject to this review during the POR, and we invited
interested partes to comment.\6\ We did not receive any comments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review,''
dated November 6, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no
reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which
liquidation is suspended.\7\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD
assessment rate calculated for the review period.\8\ Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD
assessment rate
[[Page 99834]]
calculated for the review period.\9\ As noted above, there were no
entries of subject merchandise for the companies subject to this review
during the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of
subject merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this
administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

to-Length Plate from the Federal Republic of Germany: Recission of
Antidumping Administrative Review; 2020-2021, 88 FR 4154 (January

\8\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of wire rod from Ukraine. Antidumping duties shall
be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated
antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this rescission
notice in the Federal Register.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
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 the return or destruction
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO
is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: December 5, 2024.
