[Federal Register Volume 83, Number 60 (Wednesday, March 28, 2018)] [Notices] [Pages 13252-13254] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2018-06144] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE International Trade Administration [A-412-826] Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod From the United Kingdom: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Final Affirmative 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 the United Kingdom is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV). In addition, we determine that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of the subject merchandise. The period of investigation is January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2016. DATES: Applicable March 28, 2018. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alice Maldonado, AD/CVD Operations, Office II, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4682. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On October 31, 2017, Commerce published the Preliminary Determination of sales at LTFV of wire rod from the United Kingdom.\1\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from the United Kingdom: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, 82 FR 50394 (October 31, 2017) (Preliminary Determination). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 the United Kingdom,'' 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 the United Kingdom. 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 13253]] 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 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 British Steel Limited (British Steel) informed Commerce prior to verification that it was withdrawing from participation as a mandatory respondent in this investigation.\6\ Accordingly, Commerce was unable to conduct verification under section 782(i)(1) of the Act. Moreover, Commerce determines that British Steel, by refusing to allow Commerce to verify its questionnaire responses, did not cooperate to the best of its ability in this investigation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \6\ See British Steel's Letter, ``Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from the United Kingdom: British Steel's Withdrawal from Participation as a Mandatory Respondent in the Antidumping Investigation,'' dated November 1, 2017 (British Steel Withdrawal Letter). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adverse Facts Available In the Preliminary Determination, because mandatory respondent Longs Steel UK Limited (Longs Steel) failed to respond to Commerce's questionnaire, we applied adverse facts available (AFA) to this respondent, in accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.308. Commerce received no comments regarding its preliminary application of an AFA dumping margin to Longs Steel. For the final determination, Commerce has not altered its analysis or its decision to apply AFA to Longs Steel. Additionally, due to British Steel's withdrawal from participation in this investigation prior to verification, we determine that British Steel's data cannot serve as a reliable basis for reaching a determination in this investigation because that data could not be verified. We further determine that British Steel significantly impeded the investigation and did not act to the best of its ability to comply with our requests for information. Therefore, we also find it appropriate to apply an AFA dumping margin to British Steel. For further discussion, see 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. Pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, if the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for all exporters and producers individually examined are zero, de minimis or determined based entirely under section 776 of the Act, Commerce may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated dumping margin for all other producers or exporters. This includes averaging the weighted- average dumping margins for the individually investigated respondents. As noted above, British Steel and Longs Steel are the sole mandatory respondents in this proceeding, and the margins for both companies are determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. Consequently, consistent with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, we are using the margin determined for British Steel and Longs Steel as the ``all-others'' rate. This rate is 147.63 percent. Final Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances For the Preliminary Determination, Commerce found that critical circumstances exist with respect to imports of wire rod from British Steel, Longs Steel, and companies covered by the ``all others'' rate.\7\ We made no changes to our critical circumstances preliminary determination. For further discussion, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum at ``Critical Circumstances.'' Thus, pursuant to section 735(a)(3) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.206, we find that critical circumstances exist with respect to subject merchandise produced or exported by British Steel, Longs Steel, and ``all others.'' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \7\ See Preliminary Determination, and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum, at 23-24. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Determination Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Estimated weighted- Exporter/producer average dumping margin (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ British Steel Limited................................... 147.63 Longs Steel UK Limited.................................. 147.63 All-Others.............................................. 147.63 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disclosure We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation For entries made by British Steel, Longs Steel, and companies covered by the ``all others'' rate, in accordance with section 735(c)(4)(B) of the Act, because we continue to find that critical circumstances exist, we will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of wire rod from the United Kingdom which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 2, 2017, which is 90 days prior to the date of publication of the preliminary determination of this investigation in the Federal Register. 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. 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 [[Page 13254]] 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 the United Kingdom, 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 administrative protective order (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.
