SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 1, 2012, the Department published a notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order on wire rod from Mexico for the period of review, October 1, 
2011, through September 30, 2012.\1\ On October 31, 2012, Nucor 
Corporation (``Nucor'') requested that the Department conduct a review 
of Deacero S.A. de C.V. (``Deacero''), Ternium S.A, (including Ternium 
Mexico S.A. de C.V. and Hylsa S.A. de C.C.) (collectively ``Ternium''), 
and ArcelorMittal Las Truchas, S.A. de C.V. and its affiliate, 
ArcelorMittal International America LLC (collectively ``AMLT''), or any 
of their affiliates.\2\ On December 3, 2012, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.221(c)(1)(i), the Department initiated an administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on wire rod from Mexico covering Deacero, 
Ternium, and AMLT.\3\ On December 18, 2012, Nucor withdrew its request

Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that 
requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of 
publication of the notice initiating the review. Nucor withdrew its 
request for review within the 90-day deadline. No other interested 
party requested an administrative review of Deacero, Ternium, and AMLT, 
or any other entity. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(1), we are rescinding this review in its entirety.

Assessment

    The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(``CBP'') to assess antidumping duties on all entries of wire rod from 
Mexico at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping 
duties required at the time of entry or withdrawal from warehouse for 
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department 
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after the date of publication of this notice of rescission of 
administrative review.
