To provide that certain wire rods shall not be subject to any antidumping duty or countervailing duty order.

contain by weight .06 to .10 percent carbon, 1.40 percent to 1.60 percent manganese, and .80 percent to 1.00 percent silicon;

are used to produce metal inert gas (mig) welding wire (also referred to as gas metal arc welding wire) meeting the American Welding Society ER 70S–6 classification; and

are provided for in subheading 7227.20.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States.

The electric arc furnace process with a minimum 90 percent virgin iron unit charge (using direct reduced iron or a combination of direct reduced iron and pig iron) in order to achieve the following residual maximums: phosphorous .020 percent; sulphur .015 percent; nitrogen .009 percent; copper .06 percent; nickel .10 percent; chromium .06 percent; molybdenum .02 percent; tin .01 percent; vanadium .01 percent; calcium .001 percent; mercury 10ppm (except that processing must preclude mercury (Hg.) contamination); aluminum .01 percent; and a total sulphur, phosphorous and nitrogen level of .034 percent, if the wire rods are cooled on a stelmore conveyer with covers to achieve retarded cooling.

Steel from a basic oxygen furnace which duplicates the maximum residual element levels and mechanical requirements set forth in subparagraph (A), which are achieved by using a 90 percent virgin iron unit charge.
