Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided 
in Sec.  207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under sections 703(b) or 733(b) of 
the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon 
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations 
under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries 
of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations need not 
enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the investigations. 
Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold 
at the retail level, representative consumer organizations have the 
right to appear as parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing 
duty investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list 
containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their 
representatives, who are parties to the investigations.

Background

    On January 18, 2023, Cleveland-Cliffs, Cleveland, Ohio, and United 
Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied 
Industrial and Service Workers International Union (``United 
Steelworkers'' or ``USW''), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, filed petitions 
with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured or threatened with material injury 
by reason of subsidized imports of tin mill products from China and 
LTFV imports of tin mill products from Canada, China, Germany, 
Netherlands, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and United Kingdom. 
Accordingly, effective January 18, 2023, the Commission instituted 
countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-685 and antidumping duty 
investigation Nos. 731-TA-1599-1606 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference 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 January 24, 2023 (88 FR 4206). The 
Commission conducted its conference on February 8, 2023. All persons 
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections 
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It 
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on March 
6, 2023. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 
5413 (March 2023), entitled Tin Mill Products from Canada, China,
