Abstract
The Commission invites comments from the public on whether changed circumstances exist sufficient to warrant the institution of a review pursuant to section 751(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 regarding the Commission's affirmative determination in investigation No. 731-TA- 860 (Final). The purpose of the proposed review would be to determine whether revocation of the existing antidumping duty order on imports of tin- and chromium-coated steel sheet from Japan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background.--In August 2000, the Commission
determined that an industry in the United States was materially injured
by reason of imports of tin- and chromium-coated steel sheet from Japan
found by the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) to be sold in the
United States at less than fair value (65 FR 50005, August 16, 2000).
Effective August 28, 2000, Commerce issued an antidumping duty order
(65 FR 52067).
Following the first five[hyphen]year reviews by Commerce and the
Commission, effective July 21, 2006, Commerce issued a continuation of
the antidumping duty order on imports of tin[hyphen] and
chromium[hyphen]coated steel sheet from Japan (71 FR 41422). Following
the second five[hyphen]year reviews by Commerce and the Commission,
effective June 12, 2012, Commerce issued a continuation of the
antidumping duty order on imports of tin[hyphen] and
chromium[hyphen]coated steel sheet from Japan (77 FR 34938). Following
the third five[hyphen]year reviews by Commerce and the Commission,
effective July 11, 2018, Commerce issued a continuation of the
[[Page 65249]]
antidumping duty order on imports of tin[hyphen] and
chromium[hyphen]coated steel sheet from Japan (83 FR 32074).
On August 5, 2022, the Commission received a request to review its
affirmative determination in investigation No. 731-TA-860 (Final)
pursuant to section 751(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(b)). The request
was filed by the Can Manufacturers Institute, Silgan Containers LLC,
Sonoco Product Company, Trivium Packaging USA Inc., Crown Holdings
Inc., and Nippon Steel Corporation (collectively, the ``Requestors'').
The Requestors argue that there have been recent and significant
changes in the tin- and chromium-coated steel sheet industries in the
United States and Japan that warrant a changed circumstance review. The
Requestors allege that a reduction in domestic production capacity of
tin- and chromium-coated steel sheet has resulted in supply shortages,
which they argue ``will only worsen as more domestic supply is taken
off line by the end of 2023'' with the complete closure of USS-POSCO
Industries, a major source of tin- and chromium-coated steel sheet to
West Coast companies which supply the agricultural industry in
California. In addition, the Requestors allege that the largest
producers of tin- and chromium-coated steel sheet in Japan have reduced
their capacity and currently have only limited ability to increase
their exports.
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 tin- and chromium-coated
steel sheet industries in the United States and Japan, are sufficient
to warrant institution of a review.
Written submissions.--Comments must be filed with the Secretary to
the Commission by December 15, 2022. All written submissions must
conform with the provisions of Sec. 201.8 of the Commission's rules;
any submissions that contain business proprietary information must also
conform with the requirements of Sec. Sec. 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of
the Commission's rules. The Commission has not included a process for
access to business proprietary information pursuant to an
administrative protective order during the pre-institution comment
period in this proceeding (See 56 FR 11918, 11922 (March 21, 1991)). In
the event that the Commission finds sufficient changed circumstances to
warrant institution of a review investigation following the comment
period, access to business proprietary information under an
administrative protective order will be available at that time. The
Commission's Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the
Commission's website at <a href="https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf">https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf</a>, elaborates upon the Commission's
procedures with respect to filings.
Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic
filings at this time. Filings must be made through the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>).
No in-person paper-based filings or paper copies of any electronic
filings will be accepted until further notice.
Authority: This notice is published pursuant to section 207.45 of
the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: October 21, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
