Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of steel concrete reinforcing bar from Taiwan, 
provided for in subheadings 7213.10, 7214.20, and 7228.30 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'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

1673d(b)), instituted this investigation effective September 20, 2016,

permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
