INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1319, 1326, and 1328 (Final)]


Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate From Brazil, South 
Africa, and Turkey

Determination

    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 materially injured by 
reason of imports of carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from 
Brazil, South Africa, and Turkey, provided for in subheadings 
7208.40.30, 7208.51.00, 7208.52.00, 7211.13.00, 7211.14.00, 7225.40.11, 
7225.40.30, 7226.20.00, and 7226.91.50 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the Department 
of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV''). The Commission also finds that imports subject 
to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances determinations are not 
likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping 
duty orders on carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Brazil 
and Turkey.

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

Background

    The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)), instituted these investigations effective April 8, 2016, 
following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce 
by ArcelorMittal USA LLC (Chicago, Illinois), Nucor Corporation 
(Charlotte, North Carolina), and SSAB Enterprises, LLC (Lisle, 
Illinois). The Commission scheduled the final phase of the 
investigations following notification of preliminary determinations by 
Commerce that imports of cut-to-length plate from Brazil, South Africa, 
and Turkey were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 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 of 
October 12, 2016 (81 FR 70440). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on November 30, 2016, and all persons who requested the opportunity 
were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    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 January 19, 2017. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4664 (February 
2017), entitled Carbon and Alloy Steel Cut-to-Length Plate from Brazil, 
South Africa, and Turkey: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1319, 1326, and 
1328 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: January 19, 2017.
Katherine M. Hiner,
Acting Supervisory Attorney.
