Abstract
The Commission invites comments from the public on whether changed circumstances exist sufficient to warrant the institution of a review pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act) regarding the Commission's affirmative determination in investigation No. 731-TA-1296 (Final). The purpose of the proposed review is to determine whether revocation of the existing antidumping duty order on imports of hot- rolled steel flat products from Turkey is likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The Commission further requests comments concerning the degree to which such a proceeding can be conducted in conjunction with the pending five-year review of the antidumping duty order on the same subject merchandise.

SUMMARY: The Commission invites comments from the public on whether

(Final). The purpose of the proposed review is to determine whether
revocation of the existing antidumping duty order on imports of hot-
rolled steel flat products from Turkey is likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of material injury. The Commission further
requests comments concerning the degree to which such a proceeding can
be conducted in conjunction with the pending five-year review of the
antidumping duty order on the same subject merchandise.
DATES: December 2, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--In September 2016, the Commission determined that a
U.S. industry was materially injured by reason of imports of hot-rolled
steel flat products from Turkey found by the U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) to be sold in the United States at less than fair
value (81 FR 66996, Sept. 29, 2016).
On September 10, 2021, the Commission received a request to review
its affirmative determination in investigation No. 731-TA-1296 (Final)
pursuant to section 751(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(b)). The request,
filed by Eregli Demir ve Celik Fabrikalari T.A.S. (Erdemir), alleges
there have been significant changed circumstances since the issuance of
the Commission's 2016 determination. Specifically, Erdemir alleges that
Commerce's recalculation of Colakoglu's antidumping duty margin to zero
percent and its exclusion from the antidumping duty order as a result
of judicial review constitute significantly changed circumstances from
those in existence at the time of the original investigation because
the facts underlying the Commission's negligibility determination
completely changed. According to Erdemir, the exclusion of Colakoglu
from the antidumping duty order places this case in pari materia with
the injury case in the countervailing duty investigation and provides a
compelling basis to find that imports from Turkey subject to the
antidumping duty investigation are negligible.
Written comments requested.--Pursuant to section 207.45(b) of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, the Commission requests
comments concerning whether the alleged changed circumstances, brought
about by the aforementioned changes in the imports of hot-rolled steel
flat products from Turkey subject to an antidumping duty order, are
sufficient to warrant institution of a review.
The Commission further requests comments concerning the degree to
which any changed circumstances proceeding concerning hot-rolled steel
flat products from Turkey can be conducted in conjunction with the
five-year review of the antidumping duty order on the same subject
merchandise that Commerce has initiated and the Commission has
instituted on September 1, 2021 (86 FR 49057). If the Commission
initiates a changed circumstances review, the review is likely to be
conducted on an overlapping basis with the five-year review concerning
hot-rolled steel flat products from Turkey. Therefore, commenters are
encouraged to address the nature of the respective inquiries, the data
and other information necessary for the Commission's evaluation, and
procedural considerations for the effective conduct of the reviews.
Written submissions.--Comments must be filed with the Secretary to
the Commission by no later than 30 days after publication of this
notice or by [XXX]. All written submissions must conform with the
provisions of Sec. 201.8 of the Commission's rules; any submissions
that contain BPI must also conform with the requirements of Sec. Sec.
201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's
