    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject

(``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 
China, 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'') and subsidized 
by the government of China.

    \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 a preliminary determination by 
Commerce that imports of carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate 
from China 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 investigation 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 March 13, 2017. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4675 (March 2017), 
entitled Carbon and Alloy Cut-to-Length Plate From China: Investigation 
Nos. 701-TA-560 and 731-TA-1320 (Final).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: March 13, 2017.
