The Commission’s determinations were appealed to the U.S. Court of International Trade (‘‘Court’’). On December 24, 2002, the Court remanded the Commission’s determinations on the grounds that the Commission did not apply the correct ‘‘likely’’ standard; that the Commission failed to specifically discuss each of the four factors outline in 19 U.S.C 1675a(a)(2)(A)–(D); and that the Commission failed to discuss whether the likely volume of imports of subject merchandise would be significant in absolute terms or relative to U.S. production and consumption, pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675a(a)a92). Nippon Steel Crop., et al. v United States, Slip Op 02– 153 (December 24, 2002). On first remand, the Commission again found that revocation of the countervailing duty order on GOES from Italy, and the antidumping duty orders on GOES from Italy and Japan would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.

This notice provides a summary of investigations of breaches in proceedings under Title VII, section 421 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, and section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, completed during calendar year 2004.
