At the request of Carpenter Technology Corp., Empire Specialty Steel and the United Steel Workers of America, the US Department of Trade is conducting an administrative review of the anti-dumping duty order on stainless steel wire rod from Korea. The period of review is 1 September 1999 to 31 August 2000. The petitioners requested an administrative review of Changwon Specialty Steel Co. Ltd and Dongbang Specialty Steel Co. Ltd. As a result of information received, the Department finds that POSCO and Changwon are affiliated with Dongbang through a supplier relationship and are, therefore, being treated as a single entity and calculates a single margin for them. Based upon analysis, the Department has preliminarily determined that dumping margins exist.
