SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.— On December 19,
2014, the DSB of the WTO adopted its
recommendations and rulings in the
dispute entitled United States—
Countervailing Measures on Certain
Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat Products
from India (DS436). On January 16,
2015, the United States informed the
DSB of the U.S. intention to comply
with its WTO obligations in this
dispute. On November 6, 2015, the
Commission received a request from
USTR for a consistency determination
under section 129(a)(4) of the URAA
that would render the Commission’s
action in connection with its
countervailing duty investigation
regarding hot-rolled steel imports from
India not inconsistent with the DSB
recommendations and rulings in United
States—Countervailing Measures on
Certain Hot-Rolled Carbon Steel Flat
Products from India (DS436). (This
proceeding involves the Commission’s
affirmative determination in the
countervailing duty investigation
regarding hot-rolled steel imports from
India in Inv. Nos. 701–TA–404–408 and
731–TA–899–904 and 906–908 (Final),

USITC Pub. 3446 (Aug. 2001) and
USITC Pub. 3468 (Nov. 2001).) This
request follows from the Commission’s
affirmative advisory report on October
23, 2015 in response to USTR’s request,
under section 129(a)(1) of the URAA,
that Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930
permitted the Commission to take steps
in connection with its countervailing
duty investigation regarding imports of
hot-rolled steel products from India in
Investigation No. 701–TA–405 that
would render its action in that
proceeding not inconsistent with the
DSB recommendations and rulings in
DS436. The Commission must issue its
consistency determination within 120
days of the section 129(a)(4) request, or
by March 7, 2016.
Participation in this proceeding and
public service list.—Those persons who
were interested parties participating in
the original countervailing duty
investigation regarding imports of hotrolled steel products from India (i.e.,
persons listed on the Commission
Secretary’s service list for Inv. No. 701–
TA–405 (Final)), in addition to the
Government of India, may participate in
this proceeding. If an interested party is
a successor firm to an interested party
that participated in the original
countervailing duty investigation
regarding imports of hot-rolled steel
products from India, please so indicate
and describe the relationship. Interested
parties, as described above, wishing to
participate in this proceeding as parties
must file an entry of appearance with
the Secretary to the Commission, as

Commission’s rules, no later than

maintain a public service list containing
the names and addresses of all persons,
or their representatives, who are parties
to the investigation.
Limited disclosure of business
proprietary information (BPI) under an
administrative protective order (APO)
and BPI service list.—Pursuant to
section 207.7(a) of the Commission’s
rules, the Secretary will make BPI
regarding this proceeding available to
authorized applicants under the APO
issued in this proceeding, provided that
the application is made no later than
December 15, 2015. Authorized
applicants must represent interested
parties, as defined by 19 U.S.C. 1677(9),
who are parties to this proceeding. A
separate service list will be maintained
by the Secretary for those parties
authorized to receive BPI under the
APO.
Limitations on the scope of this
proceeding.—This proceeding is being
conducted in order for the Commission
to make a determination that would

render its determination in the
countervailing duty investigation
regarding imports of hot-rolled steel
products from India, in Inv. No. 701–
TA–405, not inconsistent with the DSB
recommendations and rulings in DS436.
Thus, this proceeding only involves
issues related to the DSB
recommendations and rulings and does
not involve issues that were not in

Countervailing Measures. The DSB
recommendations and rulings in this
regard are set out in paragraphs 4.587 to

these findings is set out in paragraph
5.1(h)(i) of the report. Any material in
the interested parties’ written comments
that addresses any issue beyond those
set forth in these paragraphs will be
disregarded.
Staff report.—The supplemental staff
report in this proceeding will be placed
in the nonpublic record on December
21, 2015, and a public version will be
issued thereafter.

Commission’s rules. The Commission’s
Handbook on E-Filing, available on the
Commission’s Web site at https://
edis.usitc.gov, elaborates upon the
Commission’s rules with respect to
electronic filing.
Additional written submissions to the
Commission, including requests
pursuant to section 201.12 of the
Commission’s rules, will not be
accepted unless good cause is shown for
accepting such submissions, or unless
the submission is pursuant to a specific
request by a Commissioner or
Commission staff.
In accordance with sections 201.16(c)
and 207.3 of the Commission’s rules,
each document filed by a party to this
proceeding must be served on all other

permitted the Commission to take steps in connection with its
countervailing duty investigation regarding imports of hot-rolled steel
products from India in Investigation No. 701-TA-405 that would render
its action in that proceeding not inconsistent with the DSB

request, or by March 7, 2016.

Government of India, may participate in this proceeding. If an
interested party is a successor firm to an interested party that

Limitations on the scope of this proceeding.--This proceeding is
being conducted in order for the Commission to make a determination
that would render its determination in the countervailing duty
investigation regarding imports of hot-rolled steel products from
India, in Inv. No. 701-TA-405, not inconsistent with the DSB
recommendations and rulings in DS436. Thus, this proceeding only
involves issues related to the DSB recommendations and rulings and does
not involve issues that were not in dispute in DS436 or on which the
United States was found in conformity with its obligations under the
WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures. The DSB
recommendations and rulings in this regard are set out in paragraphs
4.587 to 4.600 of the Appellate Body report (WT/DS436/AB/R) (https://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dispu_e/cases_e/ds436_e.htm); its
conclusions based on these findings is set out in paragraph 5.1(h)(i)
of the report. Any material in the interested parties' written comments
that addresses any issue beyond those set forth in these paragraphs
will be disregarded.
Staff report.--The supplemental staff report in this proceeding
will be placed in the nonpublic record on December 21, 2015, and a
public version will be issued thereafter.
Written submissions.--Each party who is an interested party may
submit one set of written comments to the Commission. Written comments
will be limited to no more than fifty (50) double-spaced and single-
sided pages of textual material. The deadline for filing written
comments is January 8, 2016. All written submissions must conform with
the provisions of section 201.8 of the Commission's rules; any
submissions that contain BPI must also conform with the requirements of
sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The
Commission's Handbook on E-Filing, available on the Commission's Web
site at https://edis.usitc.gov, elaborates upon the Commission's rules
with respect to electronic filing.
Additional written submissions to the Commission, including
requests pursuant to section 201.12 of the Commission's rules, will not
be accepted unless good cause is shown for accepting such submissions,
or unless the submission is pursuant to a specific request by a
Commissioner or Commission staff.
In accordance with sections 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the Commission's
rules, each document filed by a party to this proceeding must be served
on all other parties to this proceeding (as identified by either the
public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be
timely filed. The Secretary will not
