INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-512 and 731-TA-1248 (Final)]


Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod From China; 
Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to sections 705(b) and 735(b) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)) and (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)) 
(``the Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially 
injured by reason of imports of carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod 
from China, provided for in subheadings 7213.91, 7213.99, 7227.20, and 
7227.90 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that 
have been found by the Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be to 
be subsidized by the government of China, and 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\ Additionally, the Commission finds that: (1) Imports subject 
to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances determination are 
not likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the 
countervailing duty order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod 
from China, and (2) imports subject to Commerce's affirmative 
critical circumstances determination are not likely to undermine 
seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty order on 
carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from China.

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective January 
31, 2014, following receipt of a petition filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by ArcelorMittal USA LLC, Chicago, Illinois; Charter Steel, 
Saukville, Wisconsin; Evraz Pueblo, Pueblo, Colorado; Gerdau Ameristeel 
US Inc., Tampa, Florida; Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., 
Dallas, Texas; and Nucor Corporation, Charlotte, North Carolina. The 
final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission 
following notification of a preliminary determination by Commerce that 
imports of carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from China were 
subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1671b(b)) and dumped 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 
September 23, 2014 (79 FR 56827). The hearing was held in Washington, 
DC, on November 12, 2014, and all persons who requested the opportunity 
were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission completed and filed its determination in these 
investigations on January 2, 2015. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 4509 (January 2015), entitled Carbon and 
Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-512 
and 731-TA-1248 (Final).

    Issued: January 2, 2015.
    By order of the Commission.
