INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigations Nos. 701-TA-355 and 731-TA-659-660 (Review)]


Grain-Oriented Silicon Electrical Steel From Italy and Japan

Determination

    On the basis of the record\1\ developed in the subject five-year 
reviews, the United States International Trade Commission 
determines,\2\ pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1675(c)) (the Act), that revocation of the countervailing duty 
order on imports of grain-oriented silicon electrical steel from Italy 
and revocation of the antidumping duty orders on imports of grain-
oriented silicon electrical steel from Italy and Japan would be likely 
to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry 
in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Bragg and Jennifer A. Hillman dissenting.
