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

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

<a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>), for comment.

Background

    On July 15, 2026, Bristol Pipe and Tube, Inc., Bristol, Tennessee, 
Felker Brothers Corporation, Marshfield, Wisconsin, and Primus Pipe and 
Tube, Inc., Wildwood, Florida 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 welded stainless steel line and pressure pipe from India and 
Turkey and LTFV imports of welded stainless steel line and pressure 
pipe from India, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. Accordingly, 
effective July 15, 2026, the Commission instituted countervailing and 
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-800-801 and 731-TA-1796-1798 
(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 July 20, 2026 (91 FR 45285). The 
Commission conducted its conference on August 5, 2026. 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 
August 31, 2026. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 5789 (August 2026), entitled Welded Stainless Steel Line 
and Pressure Pipe from India, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates: 
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-800-801 and 731-TA-1796-1798 (Preliminary).
