[[Page 36773]]

of Commerce (``Commerce'') that imports of seamless carbon and alloy 
steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from Korea and Russia were 
being subsidized by the governments of Korea and Russia and imports of 
seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from 
Czechia were being sold in the United States at less than fair value 
(``LTFV'').\2\ 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 
December 31, 2020, (85 FR 86946). 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 March 4, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity 
were permitted to appear in person or by counsel.

    The Commission subsequently issued its final determination that an 
industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of 
imports of seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure 
pipe from Czechia that Commerce had determined were sold at LTFV in the 
United States.\3\ On July 2, 2021, Commerce issued its final 
affirmative determinations that imports of seamless carbon and alloy 
steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine 
were being sold at LTFV in the United States and subsidized by the 
governments of Korea and Russia.\4\ Accordingly, the Commission 
currently is issuing a supplemental schedule for its antidumping and 
countervailing duty investigations on imports of seamless carbon and 
alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from Korea, Russia, and 
Ukraine.
