[Federal Register Volume 83, Number 60 (Wednesday, March 28, 2018)] [Notices] [Pages 13249-13251] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2018-06136] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-489-831] Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod From Turkey: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce. SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that carbon and alloy steel wire rod (wire rod) from Turkey is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value during the period of investigation (POI) is January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016. DATES: Applicable March 28, 2018. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ryan Mullen or Ian Hamilton, AD/CVD Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-5260 and (202) 482-4798, respectively. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On October 31, 2017, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register.\1\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Turkey: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, and Preliminary Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances, 82 FR 50377 (October 31, 2017) (Preliminary Determination) and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commerce exercised its discretion to toll all deadlines affected by the closure of the Federal Government from January 20 through 22, 2018. If the new deadline falls on a non-business day, in accordance with Commerce's practice, the deadline will become the next business day. The revised deadline for the final determination of this investigation is now March 19, 2018.\2\ A summary of the events that occurred since Commerce published the Preliminary Determination, as well as a full discussion of the issues raised by parties for this final determination, may be found in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice.\3\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ See Memorandum for The Record from Christian Marsh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the Federal Government'', dated January 23, 2018. All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding have been extended by 3 days. \3\ See Memorandum, ``Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Affirmative Determination in the Less-Than-Fair-Value Investigation of Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Turkey,'' dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scope of the Investigation The scope of the investigation covers wire rod from Turkey. For a complete description of the scope of the investigation, see Appendix I. Scope Comments During the course of this investigation, Commerce received numerous scope comments from interested parties. Prior to the Preliminary Determination, Commerce issued a Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum to address these comments and made no changes to the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Initiation Notice.\4\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ For discussion of these comments, see Memorandum, ``Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Belarus, Italy, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, South Africa, Spain, the Republic of Turkey, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom: Scope Comments Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Determination'' (Preliminary Scope Decision Memorandum), dated August 7, 2017. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In September 2017, we received scope case and rebuttal briefs. On November 20, 2017, we issued the Final Scope Decision Memorandum in response to the comments received.\5\ We did not change the scope of this investigation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ For discussion of these comments, see Memorandum, ``Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Belarus, Italy, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, South Africa, Spain, the Republic of Turkey, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom: Final Scope Memorandum'' (Final Scope Decision Memorandum), dated November 20, 2017. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice as Appendix II. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty [[Page 13250]] Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov, and it is available to all parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B-8024 of the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. The signed and electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Verification As provided in section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, (the Act) in November 2017 and February 2018, we conducted verification of the sales and cost information submitted by Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S. (Habas) and Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim Sanayi A.S. (Icdas) for use in our final determination. We used standard verification procedures, including an examination of relevant accounting and production records, and original source documents provided by Habas and Icdas.\6\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ For discussion of our verification findings, see the following memoranda: Memorandum, ``Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Turkey: Verification of Habas Sinai Ve Tibbi Gazlar Istih,'' dated February 14, 2018; Memorandum, ``Verification of Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim A.S., in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Turkey,'' dated February 14, 2018; Memorandum, ``Verification of Habas Sinai Ve Tibbi Gazlar Istih, in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Turkey,'' dated February 12, 2018; Memorandum, ``Verification of Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim A.S., in the Antidumping Duty Investigation of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Turkey,'' dated February 12, 2018. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes Since the Preliminary Determination Based on our analysis of the comments received and our findings at verification, we made certain changes to the margin calculations for Habas and Icdas. For a discussion of these changes, see the ``Margin Calculations'' section of the Issues and Decision Memorandum. All-Others Rate Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated all- others rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated excluding any zero or de minimis margins, and margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Therefore, for purposes of determining the ``all-others'' rate and pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we are using the dumping margins calculated for Habas and Icdas, as referenced in the ``Final Determination'' section below. In this investigation, Commerce calculated estimated weighted- average dumping margins for Habas and Icdas that are not zero, de minimis or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Commerce calculated the all-others rate using a simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents.\7\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ With two respondents under examination, Commerce normally calculates (A) a weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents; and (C) a weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents using each company's publicly-ranged U.S. sale quantities for the merchandise under consideration. Commerce then compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters. See Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 (September 1, 2010). For a complete analysis of the data, please see the All-Others' Rate Calculation Memorandum, dated concurrently with this notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances For the Preliminary Determination, Commerce found that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of wire rod from Habas, Icdas, and all-other exporters/producers covered by the ``all others'' rate.\8\ We did not modify our critical circumstances findings for the final determination. Thus, pursuant to section 735(a)(3) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.206(h)(1)-(2), we continue to find that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to subject merchandise produced or exported by Habas, Icdas, and ``all others.'' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ See Preliminary Determination, 82 FR at 50377, and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum, at 18-21. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Determination The final weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weighted- Cash deposit average rate adjusted Exporter/manufacturer dumping for subsidy margins offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal 4.74 0.87 Endustrisi............................. Icdas Celik Enerji Tersane ve Ulasim 7.94 4.15 Sanayi A.S............................. All Others.............................. 6.34 2.51 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclosure We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the date of public announcement of this notice to parties in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of wire rod from Turkey, as described in Appendix I of this notice, which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after October 31, 2017, the date of publication of the preliminary determination of this investigation in the Federal Register. Commerce normally adjusts cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties by the amount of export subsidies countervailed in a companion countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding, when CVD provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly, where Commerce made an affirmative determination for countervailable export subsidies, Commerce offset the estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the appropriate CVD rate. The adjusted cash deposit rate may be found in the Final Determination section above. Further, Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the estimated amount by which the normal value exceeds the U.S. price as shown above. [[Page 13251]] International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, we will notify the ITC of the final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. Because the final determination in this proceeding is affirmative, in accordance with section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports of wire rod from Turkey no later than 45 days after our final determination. If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such injury does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of liquidation. Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders (APO) This notice serves as a 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 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation. This determination and this notice are issued and published pursuant to sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act. Dated: March 19, 2018.
