INTERNATIONAL TRADE
COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 731–TA–1319, 1326, and
1328 (Final)]
Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length
Plate From Brazil, South Africa, and
Turkey
jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Determination
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 alloy steel cut-to-length
plate from Brazil, South Africa, and
Turkey, provided for in subheadings
7208.40.30, 7208.51.00, 7208.52.00,
7211.13.00, 7211.14.00, 7225.40.11,
7225.40.30, 7226.20.00, and 7226.91.50
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States, that have been found
by the Department of Commerce
(‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in the United
States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’).
The Commission also finds that imports
subject to Commerce’s affirmative
critical circumstances determinations
are not likely to undermine seriously
the remedial effect of the antidumping
duty orders on carbon and alloy steel
cut-to-length plate from Brazil and
Turkey.
Background
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 cut-to-length plate from
Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey 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 January 19, 2017. The views of the
Commission are contained in USITC

entitled Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-toLength Plate from Brazil, South Africa,

Magellan to pay a civil penalty of $2
million. The consent decree also
requires Magellan to complete
injunctive relief across its 11,000-mile
pipeline system, including: (1)
Completing an ongoing spill cleanup
effort in Nebraska, (2) instituting an
enhanced annual training program for
its third-party damage prevention staff,
(3) updating and enhancing company
information resources concerning
selective seam corrosion, (4) updating

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Consent Decree Under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act
On December 22, 2016, the
Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Consent Decree with the United States
District Court for the District of Rhode
Island in the lawsuit entitled United
States v. ACS Industries, Inc. et al., Civil
Action No. 1:16–cv–00665–S–LDA.
The proposed Consent Decree
(‘‘Decree’’) relates to the Second
Operable Unit (‘‘OU2’’) of the Peterson/
Puritan, Inc. Superfund Site located in
Lincoln and Cumberland, Rhode Island.
There are 91 Settling Defendants. Under
the proposed Consent Decree, the 22
Settling Performing Defendants agree to
perform the remedy selected by the
E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM

Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’) for OU2, pay EPA’s interim
response costs (response costs incurred
from September 30, 2015 to the date the
Consent Decree is approved by the
Court), and pay future oversight costs of
both EPA and the State of Rhode Island.
The 69 Settling De Minimis Defendants
agree to pay a total of approximately
$8.5 million to fund performance of
work at OU2. The Settling De Minimis
Federal Agencies (United States Postal
Service, the United States Department of
Veterans Affairs, the United States
Department of Defense, and the United
States Department of the Treasury
(IRS)), are paying an additional
$975,000 to fund performance of the
work at OU2 to resolve alleged
contribution liability at OU2. The
Statement of Work, included as
Appendix K to the Decree, provides the
framework for implementation of the
cleanup plan as set forth in the Record
of Decision (‘‘ROD’’) signed by the
Regional Administrator for Region 1 of
EPA on September 8, 2015. Among
other things, the selected remedy calls
for the construction of a multi-layer
impermeable cap over the J.M. Mills
Landfill and the Nunes Parcel. The
Remedial Design, Remedial Action, and
Operations and Maintenance at OU2 are
estimated to cost approximately $40.3
million. Over the past decade, EPA has
recovered about $8.4 million from
potentially responsible parties at OU2
that have filed for bankruptcy. EPA will
make these funds available to the
Settling Performing Defendants to
partially fund the work. The settlement
will not recover EPA’s past costs related
to OU2, which are about $3.4 million.
The United States has provided all of
the Settling Defendants with a covenant
not to sue under Sections 106 and
107(a) of Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (‘‘CERCLA’’), and Section 7003 of
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (‘‘RCRA’’), relating to OU2. The
covenant provided to the Settling
Performing Defendants has a reopener
for new information and unknown
conditions. The covenant provided to
the Settling De Minimis Defendants does
not have a reopener for new information
or unknown conditions. EPA has agreed
not to take administrative action against
the Settling De Minimis Federal
agencies pursuant to Sections 106 and
107(a) of CERCLA, and Section 7003 of
RCRA, relating to OU2.
The State of Rhode Island has filed a
complaint related to this matter in State
of Rhode Island v. ACS Industries, Inc.,
Civil Action No. 1:17–cv–00024, and is
a party to the settlement.
