interested parties.

As a result, pursuant

to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19

CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), Commerce

conducted an expedited (120-day)

sunset review of the Order.

Scope of the Order

The product covered by the Order is

PC strand, produced from wire of non-

stainless, non-galvanized steel, which is

suitable for use in prestressed concrete

(both pretensioned and post-tensioned)

applications. The product definition

encompasses covered and uncovered

strand and all types, grades, and

diameters of PC strand. PC strand is

normally sold in the United States in

sizes ranging from 0.25 inches to 0.70

inches in diameter. PC strand made

from galvanized wire is only excluded

from the scope if the zinc and/or zinc

oxide coating meets or exceeds the 0.40

oz./ft

standard set forth in ASTM–A–

475. Imports of the subject merchandise

are currently classifiable under

subheadings 7312.10.3010 and

7312.10.3012 of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

Although the HTSUS subheadings are

provided for convenience and customs

purposes, the written description of the

scope of this order is dispositive.

Analysis of Commerce Received

All issues raised in this review,

including the likelihood of continuation

or recurrence of dumping in the event

of revocation and the magnitude of the

margins likely to prevail if the order

were revoked, are addressed in the

accompanying Issues and Decision

Memorandum. A list of topics discussed

in the Issues and Decision

Memorandum is included as an

appendix to this notice. 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 http://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete

version of the Issues and Decision

Memorandum can be accessed directly

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.

The signed and the electronic version of

the Issues and Decision Memorandum

are identical in content.

Final Results of Sunset Review

Pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and

752(c)(1) and (3) of the Act, Commerce

determines that revocation of the

antidumping duty order on PC strand

from China would likely lead to

continuation or recurrence of dumping

at the following weighted-average

margins and that the margins of

dumping likely to prevail would be

weighted-average margins of up to

193.55 percent.
