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. Any other party may file an entry of appearance for the
final phase of the investigations after publication of the final phase
notice of scheduling. 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. As provided in section 207.20 of the Commission's
rules, the Director of the Office of Investigations will circulate
draft questionnaires for the final phase of the investigations to
parties to the investigations, placing copies on the Commission's
Electronic Document Information System (EDIS, <a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>),
for comment.
Background
On September 5, 2024, Steel Dynamics, Inc., Fort Wayne, Indiana;
Nucor Corporation, Charlotte, North Carolina; United States Steel
Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; the United Steel, Paper and
Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service
Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC, Washington, DC; and
Wheeling-Nippon Steel, Follansbee, West Virginia 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 corrosion-resistant steel products from
Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Vietnam and LTFV imports of corrosion-
resistant steel products from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico,
Netherlands, South Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and
Vietnam. Accordingly, effective September 5, 2024, the Commission
instituted countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-733-736 and
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1702-1711 (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 September 11, 2024 (89 FR 73721). The
Commission conducted its conference on September 26, 2024. 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
October 21, 2024. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5558 (October 2024), entitled Corrosion-Resistant Steel
Products from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, South
Africa, Taiwan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam:
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-733-736 and 731-TA-1702-1711 (Preliminary).
