Background

    The Commission instituted the antidumping and countervailing duty 
investigations effective July 8, 2020, following receipt of petitions 
filed with the Commission and Commerce by Vallourec Star, LP, Houston, 
Texas. The Commission established a general schedule for the conduct of 
the final phase of its investigations on SSLP pipe from the Czech 
Republic (``Czechia''), Korea, Russia, and Ukraine following 
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of 
SSLP pipe from Korea and Russia were subsidized within the meaning of 
section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of SSLP pipe 
from Czechia were sold at LTFV within the meaning of 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 on 
December 31, 2020 (85 FR 86946). In light of the restrictions on access 
to the Commission building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission 
conducted its hearing through written testimony and video conference on 
March 4, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted 
to participate.
    The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not 
postpone its preliminary determination in the antidumping duty 
investigation with respect to Czechia (85 FR 83059, December 21, 2020). 
On April 19, 2021, the Commission issued a final affirmative 
determination in its antidumping duty investigation of SSLP pipe from 
Czechia (86 FR 21763). Following notification of final determinations 
by Commerce that imports of SSLP pipe from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine 
were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), and subsidized by the governments of Korea and 
Russia within the meaning of section 705(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1671d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of 
the Commission's antidumping and countervailing duty investigations 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 July 13, 2021 (86 FR 36772).
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on August 16, 2021. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5222 (August 2021), entitled Seamless 
Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, And Pressure Pipe from Korea, 
Russia, and Ukraine: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-654-655 and 731-TA-1530-
1532 (Final).
