Background
[Investigation No. 337–TA–1057]
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-tolength 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
