**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
On February 1, 2008, the Department published the notice of initiation of the second sunset review of the antidumping duty order on rebar from Turkey pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act. *See Initiation of Five-year (“Sunset”) Reviews* , 73 FR 6128 (Feb. 1, 2008). The Department received the Notice of Intent to Participate from Nucor Corporation, CMC Steel Group, and Gerdau Ameristeel, Inc. (collectively “the domestic interested parties”), within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i) (Sunset Regulations). The domestic interested parties claimed interested party status under section 771(9)(C) of the Act, as manufacturers of a domestic-like product in the United States.
We received complete substantive responses from the domestic interested parties within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i). We received no responses from respondent interested parties with respect to the order covered by this sunset review. As a result, pursuant to section 751(c)(4)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2), the Department conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of this order.
**Scope of the Order**
The product covered by this order is all stock deformed steel concrete reinforcing bars sold in straight lengths and coils. This includes all hot-rolled deformed rebar rolled from billet steel, rail steel, axle steel, or low-alloy steel. It excludes (i) plain round rebar, (ii) rebar that a processor has further worked or fabricated, and (iii) all coated rebar. Deformed rebar is currently classifiable under subheadings 7213.10.000 and 7214.20.000 of the *Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States* (HTSUS). The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes. The written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive.
**Analysis of Comments Received**
All issues raised in this review are addressed in the “Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Expedited Sunset Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bars from Turkey; Final Results” (Decision Memo) from Stephen J. Claeys, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, to David M. Spooner, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, dated *DATE* 2008, which is hereby adopted by this notice. The issues discussed in the Decision Memo include the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and the magnitude of the margins likely to prevail if the order were to be revoked.

**Final Results of Review**
We determine that revocation of the antidumping duty order on rebar from Turkey would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the following weighted-average percentage margins:
| Manufacturers/Exporters/Producers | Weighted Average Margin (percent) |
| --- | --- |
| Colakoglu Metalurji A.S. | Revoked |
| Ekinciler Demir Celik A.S. | 18.68 |
