INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1353 and 1356 (Final)]


Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod From South Africa and 
Ukraine

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 carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from South 
Africa and Ukraine, provided for in subheadings 7213.91.30, 7213.91.45, 
7213.91.60, 7213.99.00, 7227.20.00, and 7227.90.60 of the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the 
Department of Commerce

[[Page 9750]]

(``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than fair value 
(``LTFV'').\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 of wire rod subject 
to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances determination are 
not likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the 
antidumping duty order on South Africa.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted these investigations effective March 28, 2017, 
following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by Charter Steel, Saukville, Wisconsin; Gerdau Ameristeel US Inc., 
Tampa, Florida; Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., Peoria, 
Illinois; and Nucor Corporation, Charlotte, North Carolina. The 
Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigations following 
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of 
carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from South Africa and Ukraine 
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 
September 20, 2017 (82 FR 44001). The hearing was held in Washington, 
DC, on November 16, 2017 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 March 1, 2018. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4766, March 2018, 
entitled Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from South Africa and 
Ukraine: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1353 and 1356 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: March 1, 2018.
