On November 6, 2006, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated a changed circumstances review of the antidumping duty order on imports of carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod products from Canada to determine whether Ivaco Rolling Mills 2004 L.P. is the successor-in-interest to Ivaco Rolling Mills L.P., and whether Sivaco Ontario, a division of Sivaco Wire Group 2004 L.P., is the successor-in-interest to Ivaco Inc.
In the preliminary results dated December 14, 2006, the DOC determined that Ivaco Rolling Mills 2004 L.P. is the successor-in-interest to Ivaco Rolling Mills L.P., and that Sivaco Ontario is the successor-in-interest to Ivaco Inc. Upon receiving no comment on the preliminary results, the DOC has determined not to make any changes to its preliminary results. Accordingly, Ivaco Rolling Mills 2004 L.P. and Sivaco Ontario (collectively "Ivaco") will receive the same antidumping duty treatment with respect to carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod products from Canada as Ivaco Rolling Mills L.P. and Ivaco Inc.
