INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1580, 1582, and 1583 (Final)]


Steel Nails From India, Thailand, and Turkey

Determinations

    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 not materially injured 
or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of steel nails 
from India, Thailand, and Turkey, provided for in subheadings 
7317.00.55, 7317.00.65, and 7317.00.75 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States 
at less than fair value (``LTFV'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 87 FR 78929, December 23, 2022; 87 FR 78935, December 23, 
2022; and 87 FR 78937, December 23, 2022. Commerce also published 
notice in the Federal Register of a negative final antidumping duty 
determination in connection with the investigation concerning steel 
nails from Sri Lanka (87 FR 78933, December 23, 2022). Accordingly, 
effective December 23, 2022, the Commission terminated its 
antidumping duty investigation concerning steel nails from Sri Lanka 
(88 FR 1291, January 9, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective December 
30, 2021, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc., Poplar Bluff, Missouri. 
The Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigations 
following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that 
imports of steel nails from India, Oman, Sri Lanka, and Turkey were 
being subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1671b(b)).\3\ 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 
June 21, 2022 (87 FR 36882). 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 
August 17, 2022. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ While Commerce preliminarily determined that countervailable 
subsidies were not being provided to producers and exporters of 
steel nails from Thailand, the Commission continued its 
investigative activities pursuant to Commission rule 207.21(c). 
Determinations by Commerce with respect to sales at less-than-fair-
value value of imports of steel nails from India, Sri Lanka, 
Thailand, and Turkey were pending at that time and subsequently 
published in the Federal Register on August 4, 2022 (87 FR 47719, 87 
FR 47701, 87 FR 47708, and 87 FR 47699).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not 
align its countervailing duty investigations with its antidumping duty 
investigations and reached earlier final countervailing duty 
determinations. On October 6, 2022, the Commission issued final 
negative determinations in its countervailing duty investigations of 
steel nails from India, Oman, Sri Lanka, and Turkey (87 FR 61631, 
October 12, 2022). Following notification of final determinations by 
Commerce that imports of steel nails from India, Thailand, and Turkey 
were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act 
(19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the 
final phase of the Commission's antidumping 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 scheduling of the final phase of 
Commission's antidumping duty investigations (88 FR 2373, January 13, 
2023).
    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 February 6, 2023. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5404 (February 
2023), entitled Steel Nails from India, Thailand, and Turkey: 
Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1580, 1582, and 1583 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: February 6, 2023.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
