Background

    On May 1, 2015, the Department initiated a sunset review of the 
Order \1\ pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the ``Act'') and 19 CFR 351.218(c).\2\ On May 15, 2015, the 
Department received a timely notification of intent to participate from 
Insteel Wire Products Company and Sumiden Wire Products Corporation 
(collectively, ``Domestic Parties'' or ``Petitioners''), filed in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i). On June 1, 2015, the 
Department received a substantive response from Petitioners, timely 
filed in accordance with 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).\3\ The Department did

not receive a substantive response from the Government of China 
(``GOC'') or company respondent interested parties.

People's Republic of China: Notice of Amended Final Affirmative

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) and section 751(c)(3)(B) 
of the Act, when there are inadequate responses from respondent 
interested parties, the Department will conduct an expedited sunset

the Federal Registerof the notice of initiation, issue final results of 
review based on the facts available. The Department did not receive a 
substantive response from the GOC or any PRC producers or exporters. 
Accordingly, we conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the 
Order.

Scope of the Order

    The scope of the Order is PC strand. Imports of merchandise 
included within the scope of this Order are currently classifiable 
under subheadings 7312.10.3010 and 7312.10.3012 of the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The Issues and Decision 
Memorandum (``IDM''), which is hereby adopted by this notice, provides 
a full description of the scope of the Order.\4\

expedited sunset review and the corresponding recommendations in this 
public memorandum which is on file electronically via the Enforcement
