South Korea
Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of oil country
tubular goods from Argentina, Mexico, Russia, and South Korea, provided
for in subheadings 7304.29, 7305.20, and 7306.29 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in
the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and to be
subsidized by the governments of Russia and South Korea.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 86 FR 60205 and 86 FR 60210 (November 1, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commencement of Final Phase Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided
in Sec. 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary
determinations in the investigations under Sec. Sec. 703(b) or 733(b)
of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations
under Sec. Sec. 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed
entries of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations
need not enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the
investigations. Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under
investigation is sold at the retail level, representative consumer
organizations have the right to appear as parties in Commission
antidumping and countervailing duty investigations. The Secretary will
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
investigations.
Background
On October 6, 2021, Borusan Mannesmann Pipe U.S., Inc., Baytown,
Texas; PTC Liberty Tubulars LLC, Liberty, Texas; U.S. Steel Tubular
Products, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Welded Tube USA, Inc.,
Lackawanna, New York; and the United States Steel, Paper and Forestry,
Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers
International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, filed
petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry
in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material
injury by reason of subsidized imports of oil country tubular goods
from Russia and South Korea and LTFV imports of oil country tubular
goods from Argentina, Mexico, and Russia. Accordingly, effective
October 6, 2021, the Commission instituted countervailing duty
investigation Nos. 701-TA-671-672 and antidumping duty investigation
Nos. 731-TA-1571-1573 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference 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 of October 13, 2021 (86 FR 56983). In
light of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its conference through
written testimony and video conference on October 27, 2021. All persons
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on
November 22, 2021. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5248 (November 2021), entitled Oil Country Tubular Goods
from Argentina, Mexico, Russia, and South Korea: Investigation Nos.
701-TA-671-672 and 731-TA-1571-1573 (Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: November 22, 2021.
