[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-534-537 and 731-TA-1274-1278 (Final)]


Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products From China, India, 
Italy, Korea, and Taiwan; 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 an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of certain corrosion-resistant steel products from 
China, India, Italy, Korea, and Taiwan, provided for in subheadings 
7210.30.00, 7210.41.00, 7210.49.00, 7210.61.00, 7210.69.00, 7210.70.60, 
7210.90.10, 7210.90.60, 7210.90.90, 7212.20.00, 7212.30.10, 7212.30.30, 
7212.30.50, 7212.40.10, 7212.40.50, 7212.50.00, 7212.60.00, 7215.90.10, 
7215.90.30, 7215.90.50, 7217.20.15, 7217.30.15, 7217.90.10, 7217.90.50, 
7225.91.00, 7225.92.00, 7226.99.01, 7228.60.60, 7228.60.80, and 
7229.90.10 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that 
have been found by the Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold 
in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV''), and that have 
been found by Commerce to be subsidized by the governments of China, 
India, Italy, and Korea.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative. The 
Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's affirmative 
critical circumstances determinations are not likely to undermine 
seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing duty orders on 
certain corrosion-resistant steel products from China, Italy, and 
Korea and the antidumping duty orders on certain corrosion-resistant 
steel products from China, Italy, Korea, and Taiwan.

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), instituted these 
investigations effective June 3, 2015, following receipt of petitions 
filed with the Commission and Commerce by United States Steel Corp. 
(Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), Nucor Corp. (Charlotte, North Carolina), 
Steel Dynamics Inc. (Fort Wayne, Indiana), California Steel Industries 
(Fontana, California), ArcelorMittal USA LLC (Chicago, Illinois), and 
AK Steel Corp. (West Chester, Ohio). The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of certain 
corrosion-resistant steel products from China, India, Italy, and Korea 
were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of certain corrosion-resistant steel 
products from China, India, Italy, Korea, and Taiwan were dumped within 
the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). 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 February 12, 2016 (81 FR 7585), as 
revised on May 9, 2016 (81 FR 28104). The hearing was held in 
Washington, DC, on May 26, 2016, and all persons who requested the 
opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on July 15, 2016. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 4620 (July 2016), entitled Certain 
Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from China, India, Italy, Korea, and 
Taiwan: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-534-537 and 731-TA-1274-1278 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
