investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of wire rod 
from Belarus, Italy, Korea, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, 
Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, and United Kingdom, provided for in 
subheadings 7213.91.30, 7213.91.45, 7213.99.00, 7227.20.00, and 
7227.90.60 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that 
are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than fair value 
(``LTFV'') and imports of wire rod that are alleged to be subsidized by 
the government of Turkey.\2\ The Commission also determines that an 
industry in the United States is threatened with material injury by 
reason of imports of wire rod that are alleged to be subsidized by the 
government of Italy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided 
in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under sections 703(b) or 733(b) of 
the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon 
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations 
under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries 
of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations need not 
enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the investigations. 
Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold 
at the retail level, representative consumer organizations have the 
right to appear as parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing 
duty investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list 
containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their 
representatives, who are parties to the investigations.

    On March 28, 2017, Charter Steel, Saukville, Wisconsin; Gerdau 
Ameristeel US Inc., Tampa, Florida; Keystone Consolidated Industries, 
Inc., Peoria, Illinois; and Nucor Corporation, Charlotte, North

that an industry in the United States is materially injured or 
threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV and subsidized 
imports of wire rod from Italy and Turkey and LTFV imports of wire rod 
from Belarus, Italy, Korea, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, 
Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, and United Kingdom. Accordingly,

and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)), instituted 
countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-573-574 and antidumping 
duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1349-1358 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of April 3, 2017 (82 FR 16232). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on April 18, 2017, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
