[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-673-677 and 731-TA-1580-1583 (Preliminary)]
Steel Nails From India, Oman, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Turkey
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 steel nails
from India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Turkey, provided for in
subheadings 7317.00.55, 7317.00.65, and 7317.00.75 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 imports of
the subject merchandise from India, Oman, Thailand, and Turkey that are
alleged to be subsidized by the governments of India, Oman, Thailand,
and Turkey. The Commission further determines that an industry in the
United States is threatened with material injury by reason of imports
of steel nails from Sri Lanka that are alleged to be subsidized by the
government of Sri Lanka.\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)).

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 December 30, 2021, Mid Continent Nail Corporation, Popular

alleging that an industry in the United States is materially injured or
threatened with material injury by reason of subsidized imports of
steel nails from India, Oman, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Turkey and LTFV
imports of steel nails from India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Turkey.
Accordingly, effective December 30, 2021, the Commission instituted
countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-673-677 and antidumping
duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1580-1583 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference to be held in

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
February 14, 2022. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5283 (February 20), entitled Steel Nails from India, Oman,
