SUMMARY:
1 For purposes of these investigations, the
Department of Commerce has defined the subject

these investigations may be viewed on
the Commission’s electronic docket
(EDIS) at https://edis.usitc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.—The final phase of
these investigations is being scheduled
as a result of affirmative preliminary
determinations by the Department of
Commerce that imports of steel concrete
reinforcing bar from Mexico and Turkey
are being sold in the United States at
less than fair value within the meaning
of section 733 of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673b). Although the Department of
Commerce has preliminarily determined
that countervailable subsidies are not
being provided to producers and
exporters of steel concrete reinforcing
bar from Turkey, for purposes of
efficiency the Commission hereby
waives rule 207.21(b) 2 so that the final
phase of the investigations may proceed
concurrently in the event that
Commerce makes a final affirmative
determination with respect to such
imports.
The investigations were requested in
a petition filed on September 4, 2013, by
the Rebar Trade Action Coalition and its
individual members: Nucor
Corporation, Charlotte, NC; Gerdau
Ameristeel U.S. Inc., Tampa, FL;
Commercial Metals Company, Irving,
TX; Cascade Steel Rolling Mills, Inc.,
McMinnville, OR; and Byer Steel
Corporation, Cincinnati, OH.
Participation in the investigations and
public service list.—Persons, including
industrial users of the subject
merchandise and, if the merchandise is
sold at the retail level, representative
consumer organizations, wishing to
participate in the final phase of these
investigations as parties must file an
entry of appearance with the Secretary
to the Commission, as provided in
section 201.11 of the Commission’s
rules, no later than 21 days prior to the
hearing date specified in this notice. A
party that filed a notice of appearance
during the preliminary phase of the
investigations need not file an
additional notice of appearance during
this final phase. The Secretary will
maintain a public service list containing
2 Section 207.21(b) of the Commission’s rules
provides that, where the Department of Commerce
has issued a negative preliminary determination,
the Commission will publish a Final Phase Notice
of Scheduling upon receipt of an affirmative final
determination from Commerce.
