    The carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod antidumping

the same date and have the same scope. See Notice of Initiation of

section 705(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay 
Round Agreements Act (``the Act''), we are aligning the final 
determinations in these investigations with the earliest final 
determination in the concurrent antidumping duty investigations of

alignment, in accordance with section 705(d) of the Act. This notice is 
published in accordance with section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
