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 §§?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.
