International Trade Administration September 11, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

As a result of determinations by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (ITC) that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from the People's Republic of China (China) and revocation of the AD order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from Taiwan would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies, as applicable, and material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time, Commerce is publishing a notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders.

The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on wooden bedroom furniture (WBF) from the People's Republic of China (China) (the Order) for the period of review (POR) January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, based on the timely withdrawal of all requests for review.

The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that Jindal SAW Ltd., the sole company for which a review was requested, made no shipments of certain oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from India during the period of review (POR) from September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019.

In this final rule, U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is modifying its regulations pertaining to the Steel Import Monitoring and Analysis (SIMA) system to require steel import license applicants to identify the country where the steel used in the manufacture of the imported steel product was melted and poured (the country of melt and pour); clarify how certain import data collected from the licenses will be aggregated and reported on the public SIMA monitor; harmonize the scope of steel products subject to the SIMA licensing requirement with the scope of steel products subject to Section 232 tariffs; extend the SIMA system indefinitely by eliminating the regulatory provision concerning the duration of the SIMA system; and codify eligibility for use of the low-value license for certain steel entries up to $5,000. In addition, Commerce is making corresponding changes to the public SIMA monitor that do not require regulatory modifications and amending the steel import license application to include a new field for the country of melt and pour. Finally, Commerce is modernizing the SIMA system, including both the online license application platform and the public SIMA monitor.
