Commerce by Insteel Industries Inc., Mount Airy, North Carolina; Mid-
South Wire Company, Nashville, Tennessee; National Wire LLC, Conroe, 
Texas; Oklahoma Steel & Wire Co., Madill, Oklahoma; and Wire Mesh

Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of 
December 16, 2020 (85 FR 81487). In light of the restrictions on access 
to the Commission building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission 
conducted its hearing through written testimony and video conference on 
February 12, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
    The Commission made this determination pursuant to Sec.  705(b) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)). It completed and filed its determination 
in this investigation on April 5, 2021. The views of the Commission are
