On August 5, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced in the Federal Register the amended final results pursuant to court decisions relating to its 2005-2006 antidumping (AD) duty administrative review for certain steel concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) from Turkey.
The DOC said that on April 12, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) upheld the final redetermination made by the DOC. In this redetermination, the DOC recalculated the cost of production for rebar produced and sold by Ekinciler Demir ve Celik Sanayi A.S. and Ekinciler Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively, Ekinciler), a Turkish producer/exporter of subject merchandise, to exclude depreciation which the DOC had imputed to an asset reported in Ekinciler books and records.
Accordingly, the DOC has revised a revised weighted-average margin of 0.11 percent for Ekinciler for the period April 1, 2005, through March 31, 2006.
Petitioners in the investigation were Nucor Corporation, Gerdau Ameristeel, Inc., and Commercial Metals Company.
