SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 27, 2024, Commerce published in the
Federal Register
the final determination in the circumvention inquiry for the AD order on PC strand Mexico.[]
In the
Final Determination,
we inadvertently omitted the “Liquidation of Entries” section announcing our intent to order the liquidation of entries of merchandise subject to the AD order on PC strand from Mexico that entered during the prior administrative review period for the AD order on PC strand from Mexico. Specifically, Commerce did not receive a request to conduct an administrative review for the AD order on PC strand from Mexico for the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023,[]
thus entries of subject merchandise during this period were automatically liquidated pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(c). However, following the
Preliminary Determination,
Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash deposits and suspend the liquidation of entries of merchandise covered by the inquiry that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after July 31, 2023, until specific instructions for liquidation were issued.[]
Correction
In the
Federal Register
of September 27, 2024, in FR Doc 2024-22113, on page 79253, in the third column, correct the text by adding the following section below the “Final Circumvention Determination” section:
Liquidation of Entries
For all entries of merchandise subject to the AD order on PC strand from Mexico, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or before December 31, 2023, Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate those entries at the applicable AD rates for those entries.[]
Commerce intends to issue liquidation instructions to CBP no earlier than 41 days after the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register
. If a timely notice of intent to contest this final determination is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (
i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 781(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226(g)(2).
Dated: October 23, 2024.
