INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-539 and 731-TA-1280-1282 (Preliminary)]


Heavy Walled Rectangular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes From 
Korea, Mexico, and Turkey; Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of heavy 
walled rectangular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Korea, 
Mexico, and Turkey, provided for in subheadings 7306.61.10 and 
7306.61.30 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that 
are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than fair value 
(``LTFV'') and that are allegedly subsidized by the government of 
Turkey.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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 July 21, 2015, Atlas Tube, a division of JMC Steel Group 
(Chicago, Illinois), Bull Moose Tube Company (Chesterfield, Missouri), 
EXLTUBE (North Kansas City, Missouri), Hannibal Industries, Inc. (Los 
Angeles, California), Independence Tube Corporation (Chicago, 
Illinois), Maruichi American Corporation (Santa Fe Springs, 
California), Searing Industries (Rancho Cucamonga, California), 
Southland Tube (Birmingham, Alabama), and Vest, Inc. (Los Angeles, 
California) filed petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging 
that an industry in the United States is materially injured and 
threatened with material injury by reason of LTFV and subsidized 
imports of heavy walled rectangular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes 
from Korea, Mexico, and Turkey. Accordingly, effective July 21, 2015, 
the Commission, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)), instituted countervailing duty 
investigation No. 701-TA-539 and antidumping duty investigation Nos. 
731-TA-1280-1282 (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 27, 2015 (80 FR 44383). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on August 11, 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 Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It 
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on 
September 4, 2015. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 4563 (September 2015), entitled Heavy Walled Rectangular 
Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes from Korea, Mexico, and Turkey: 
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-539 and 731-TA-1280-1282 (Preliminary).
