Scope of the measure

The product covered by this investigation is wire rod from Algeria. For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the appendix to this notice. Scope Comments No interested party commented on the scope of the investigation as it appeared in the Preliminary Determination. Therefore, we made no changes to the scope of the investigation from that published in the Preliminary Determination. See Preliminary Determination, 91 FR at 42178. Methodology Commerce conducted this investigation in accordance with section 701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). For each of the subsidy programs found to be countervailable, Commerce determines that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial contribution by an ``authority'' that gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, and that the subsidy is specific. In making this final determination, Commerce relied on facts available, including with an adverse inference, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E) of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of the Act regarding specificity. See Preliminary Determination PDM at the section ``Use of Facts Otherwise Available and Application of Adverse Inferences.'' Verification Because the sole respondent, SPA Algerian Qatar Steel, did not participate in this investigation and because the Government of Algeria did not provide information Commerce requested, Commerce did not conduct a verification in this investigation. See Preliminary Determination, 91 FR at 42178. All-Others Rate Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act provide that Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for companies not individually examined. Pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act, if the individual estimated countervailable subsidy rates established for all exporters and producers individually examined are zero, de minimis, or determined based entirely on section 776 of the Act, Commerce may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated subsidy rate for all other producers or exporters. In this investigation, Commerce has determined the estimated subsidy rate for the individually examined respondent under section 776 of the Act. This is the only rate available in this proceeding for deriving the all- others rate. Consequently, pursuant to sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A)(ii) of the Act, Commerce established the all-others rate by applying the countervailable subsidy rate assigned to the non- responsive company listed below. For a full description of the methodology underlying Commerce's analysis, see the Preliminary Determination. Id., 91 FR at 42178-42179. Final Determination and Estimated Countervailable Subsidy Rates Commerce determines that the following estimated countervailable subsidy rates exist: Subsidy rate Company (percent ad valorem) SPA Algerian Qatar Steel * 73.33 All Others 73.33 * Rate is based on facts available with adverse inferences. Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations performed in a final determination within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the final determination in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because the program rates assigned in the Preliminary Determination are unchanged, there are no new calculations to disclose. Countervailing Duty Order No material injury determination is necessary in this countervailing duty investigation, pursuant to section 701(c)(1) of the Act, because the United States Trade Representative has determined that Algeria is not a ``Subsidies Agreement country'' within the meaning of section 701(b) of the Act. Therefore, in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this CVD order. See Status of Algeria Under the Tariff Act of 1930, as Amended, 90 FR 34334 (July 21, 2025). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation of wire rod from Algeria, as described in Appendix I to this notice, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties on each entry of subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates above. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce also intends, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, to instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the amounts as indicated above. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated customs duties on the subject merchandise, a cash deposit for each entry of subject merchandise equal to the subsidy rates listed above. The all-others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate.
