Background
The Commission instituted the antidumping and countervailing duty
investigations effective July 8, 2020, following receipt of petitions
filed with the Commission and Commerce by Vallourec Star, LP, Houston,
Texas. The Commission established a general schedule for the conduct of
the final phase of its investigations on SSLP pipe from the Czech
Republic (``Czechia''), Korea, Russia, and Ukraine following
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of
SSLP pipe from Korea and Russia were subsidized within the meaning of
section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of SSLP pipe
from Czechia were sold at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of
the Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on
December 31, 2020 (85 FR 86946). 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
March 4, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted
to participate.
The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not
postpone its preliminary determination in the antidumping duty
investigation with respect to Czechia (85 FR 83059, December 21, 2020).
On April 19, 2021, the Commission issued a final affirmative
determination in its antidumping duty investigation of SSLP pipe from
Czechia (86 FR 21763). Following notification of final determinations
by Commerce that imports of SSLP pipe from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine
were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), and subsidized by the governments of Korea and
Russia within the meaning of section 705(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1671d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of
the Commission's antidumping and countervailing duty investigations was
given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary,
U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing
the notice in the Federal Register of July 13, 2021 (86 FR 36772).
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C.
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these
investigations on August 16, 2021. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5222 (August 2021), entitled Seamless
Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, And Pressure Pipe from Korea,
Russia, and Ukraine: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-654-655 and 731-TA-1530-
1532 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: August 16, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
