INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-576-577 (Final)]


Cold-Drawn Mechanical Tubing from China and India

Determinations

    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 cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China and India, 
provided for in subheadings 7304.31.30, 7304.31.60, 7304.51.10, 
7304.51.50, 7306.30.50, and 7306.50.50 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the Department 
of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be subsidized by the governments of China 
and India.\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\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing duty 
order on cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China.

Ohio; Michigan Seamless Tube, LLC, South Lyon, Michigan; PTC Alliance 
Corp., Wexford, Pennsylvania; Webco Industries, Inc., Sand Springs, 
Oklahoma; and Zekelman Industries, Inc., Farrell, Pennsylvania. The 
final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission 
following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that 
imports of cold-drawn mechanical tubing from China and India were 
subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1671b(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 
October 5, 2017 (82 FR 46522). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on December 6, 2017, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 705(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on January 24, 2018. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4755 (January 
2018), entitled Cold-Drawn Mechanical Tubing from China and India: 
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-576-577 (Final).
