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
