INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1505-1507, 1510-1511, 1513, and 1515 
(Final)]


Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand From Indonesia, Italy, 
Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine

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 prestressed concrete steel wire strand (``PC 
strand'') from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, 
Tunisia, and Ukraine, provided for in subheading 7312.10.30 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found 
by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') 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\ 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 antidumping duty 
order on Indonesia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective April 16, 
2020, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Insteel Wire Products Company, Mount Airy, North Carolina, 
Sumiden Wire Products Corporation, Dickson, Tennessee, and Wire Mesh 
Corporation, Houston, Texas with regard to imports of PC strand from 15 
countries. The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the 
Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by 
Commerce that imports of PC strand from Turkey were subsidized within 
the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that 
imports of PC strand from Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, Netherlands, 
Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates were being 
sold at LTFV 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 of 
October 8, 2020 (85 FR 63576). In light of the restrictions on access 
to the Commission building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission 
conducted its hearing through written testimony and video conference on 
December 10, 2020. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
    The investigations became staggered when Commerce: (i) Postponed 
the final determinations for its antidumping duty investigations 
regarding PC strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, 
Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine; and (ii) reached earlier final antidumping 
and countervailing duty determinations concerning PC strand from 
Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Turkey, 
and the United Arab Emirates. On January 25, 2021, the Commission 
issued final affirmative determinations in its antidumping and 
countervailing duty investigations of PC strand from Argentina, 
Colombia, Egypt, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Turkey, and the 
United Arab Emirates (86 FR 7564, January 29, 2021). Following 
notification of final determinations by Commerce that imports of PC 
strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, 
and Ukraine were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 
735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)),\3\ notice of the supplemental 
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's antidumping duty 
investigations with respect to Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South 
Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine 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 April 21, 2021 (86 FR 20711).
