INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-586 and 731-TA-1384 (Final)]


Stainless Steel Flanges From India

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 stainless steel flanges from India that have been 
found by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in 
the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV''), and to be 
subsidized by the government of India.\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 determinations are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping and 
countervailing duty orders on stainless steel flanges from India.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective August 16, 
2017, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by the Coalition of American Flange Producers on behalf of 
itself and its individual members, Core Pipe Products, Inc., Carol 
Stream, Illinois, and Maass Flange Corporation, Houston, Texas. 
Effective January 23, 2018, the Commission established a general 
schedule for the conduct of the final phase of its investigations on 
stainless steel flanges, following notification of preliminary 
determinations by Commerce \3\ that imports of stainless steel flanges 
from China and India were being subsidized within the meaning of 
section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(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 February 7, 2018 (83 FR 5459). The 
hearing was held in Washington, DC, on April 10, 2018, and all persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in person or by 
counsel. The Commission subsequently issued its final affirmative 
determinations regarding subsidized imports of stainless steel flanges 
from China on May 29, 2018 (83 FR 25714, June 4, 2018) and regarding 
dumped imports of stainless steel flanges from China on July 25, 2018 
(83 FR 36622, July 30, 2018). Following notification of final 
determinations by Commerce that imports of stainless steel flanges from 
India were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)),\4\ and subsidized by the government of 
India within the meaning of section 705(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1671d(a)),\5\ notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase 
of the Commission's antidumping and countervailing duty investigations 
with respect to India 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 
September 6, 2018 (83 FR 45278).
