SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective December 19, 2025, the Commission
established a general schedule for the conduct of the final phase of
its investigations on steel concrete reinforcing bar (or ``rebar'')
from Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam (90 FR 61166, December 30,
2025) following a preliminary determination by the U.S. Department of
Commerce (``Commerce'') that imports of rebar from Algeria were being
sold in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'').
Commerce's preliminary determinations with respect to rebar from
Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam alleged to be sold in the United States at
less than fair value and with respect to rebar alleged to be subsidized
by the Governments of Algeria, Egypt, and Vietnam were pending at that
time. Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's
investigations and of a public hearing 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 on December 30, 2025
(90 FR 61166). All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted
to participate.
On March 6, 2026, Commerce published in the Federal Register its
final affirmative antidumping determination with respect to rebar from
Algeria (91 FR 11035, March 6, 2026). On March 27, 2026, Commerce
published in the Federal Register its final affirmative countervailing
duty determination with respect to rebar from Algeria (91 FR 14808,
March 27, 2026). The Commission subsequently issued its final
determinations that an industry in the United States was materially
injured by reason of imports of rebar from Algeria that were found by
Commerce to be sold in the United States at LTFV (91 FR 21510, April
22, 2026). Because the Office of the United States Trade Representative
advised the Commission of its determination that Algeria is not a
Subsidies Agreement country (90 FR 34334, July 21, 2025), the
Commission closed its countervailing duty investigation in connection
with rebar from Algeria (91 FR 29504, May 20, 2026).
On July 30, 2026, Commerce published in the Federal Register its
final affirmative countervailing duty determinations with respect to
imports of rebar from Egypt (91 FR 48068) and Vietnam (91 FR 48074) and
its final LTFV determinations with respect to imports of rebar from
Bulgaria (91 FR 48084), Egypt (91 FR 48066), and Vietnam (91 FR 48063).
Accordingly, the Commission currently is issuing a supplemental
schedule for the final phase of its investigations on imports of rebar
from Bulgaria, Egypt, and Vietnam.
This supplemental schedule is as follows: the deadline for filing
supplemental party comments on Commerce's final antidumping/
countervailing duty determinations is 5:15 p.m. on August 12, 2026.
Supplemental party comments may address only Commerce's final
determinations regarding imports of rebar from Bulgaria, Egypt, and
Vietnam. These supplemental final comments may not contain new factual
information and may not exceed five (5) pages in length. The
supplemental staff report in the final phase of this proceeding will be
placed in the nonpublic record on August 19, 2026, and a public version
will be issued thereafter.
For further information concerning this proceeding see the
Commission's notice cited above and the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part
207, subparts A and C (19 CFR part 207).
Additional written submissions to the Commission, including
requests pursuant to section 201.12 of the Commission's rules, shall
not be accepted unless good cause is shown for accepting such
submissions, or unless the submission is pursuant to a specific request
by a Commissioner or Commission staff.
In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's
rules, each document filed by a party to the proceeding must be served
on all other parties to the proceeding (as identified by either the
public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be
timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing
without a certificate of service.
Please note the Secretary's Office will accept only electronic
filings during 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 proceeding is being conducted under authority of
title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant
to section 207.21 of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
