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 section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under sections 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 sections 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 June 3, 2015, United States Steel Corporation (Pittsburgh, 
Pennsylvania), Nucor Corporation (Charlotte, North Carolina), Steel 
Dynamics Inc. (Fort Wayne, Indiana), California Steel Industries 
(Fontana, California), ArcelorMittal USA LLC (Chicago, Illinois), and 
AK Steel Corporation (West Chester, Ohio) 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 
LTFV and subsidized imports of certain corrosion-resistant steel 
products from China, India, Italy, Korea, and Taiwan. Accordingly, 
effective June 3, 2015, the Commission, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 
733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)), 
instituted countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-534-538 and 
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1274-1278 (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 June 9, 2015 (80 FR 32606). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on June 24, 2015, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
703(a) and 733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 
1673b(a)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on June 20, 2015. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 4547, July 2015 entitled Certain 
Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from China, India, Italy, Korea, and 
Taiwan: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-534-538 and 731-TA-1274-1278
