INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-646 and 731-TA-1502-1504, 1508-1509, 1512, 
1514, and 1516] (Final)]


Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand From Argentina, Colombia, 
Egypt, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Arab 
Emirates

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 Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, 
Taiwan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, 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''), and to be subsidized by the government of Turkey.\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 determinations are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty 
orders on PC strand from Colombia, Egypt, Netherlands, and Turkey.

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. The final phase of the investigations was 
scheduled by the Commission following notification of a 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 on 
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 Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on January 25, 2021. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5153 (January 2021), entitled 
Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand from Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, 
Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan,
