Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate From Austria, Belgium, 
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan

Determination

    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 carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from 
Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, 
provided for in subheadings 7208.40.30, 7208.51.00, 7208.52.00, 
7211.13.00, 7211.14.00, 7225.40.11, 7225.40.30, 7226.20.00, and 
7226.91.50 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 imports of 
the subject merchandise subsidized by the government of 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\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty 
order on Austria, Belgium or Italy.

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted these investigations effective April 8, 2016, 
following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by ArcelorMittal USA LLC (Chicago, Illinois), Nucor Corporation 
(Charlotte, North Carolina), and SSAB Enterprises, LLC (Lisle, 
Illinois). The Commission scheduled the final phase of the 
investigations following notification of preliminary determinations by 
Commerce that imports of carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate 
from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan 
were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 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 of 
October 12, 2016 (81 FR 70440). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on November 30, 2016, and all persons who requested the opportunity 
were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on May 18, 2017. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4691 (May 2017), 
entitled Carbon and Alloy Cut-to-Length Plate from Austria, Belgium, 
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan: Investigation Nos. 
701-TA-561 and 731-TA-1317-1318, 1321-1325, and 1327 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.
     Issued: May 18, 2017.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
