INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-689 and 731-TA-1618 (Preliminary)]


Non-Refillable Steel Cylinders From 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 there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of non-
refillable steel cylinders (``NRSC'') from India, provided for in 
subheading 7311.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized by the government of 
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)).

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 Sec. Sec.  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 Sec. Sec.  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

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 April 27, 2023, Worthington Industries, Columbus, Ohio, 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 NRSC from India and LTFV 
imports of NRSC from India. Accordingly, effective April 27, 2023, the 
Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-689 
and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1618 (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 May 3, 2023 (88 FR 27920). The 
Commission conducted its conference on May 18, 2023. All persons who 
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
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 June 
12, 2023. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 5437 (June 2023), entitled Non-Refillable Steel Cylinders 
from India: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-689 and 731-TA-1618 
(Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: June 12, 2023.
