2020-27592. Non-Oriented Electrical Steel From China, Germany, Japan, Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan

Determination

On the basis of the record ^[1] developed in the subject five-year reviews, the United States International Trade Commission (“Commission”) determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (“the Act”), that revocation of the countervailing duty orders on non-oriented electrical steel from China and Taiwan and the antidumping duty orders on non-oriented electrical steel from China, Germany, Japan, Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.

Background

The Commission instituted these reviews on November 1, 2019 (84 FR 58743) and determined on February 4, 2020 that it would conduct full reviews (85 FR 8325, February 13, 2020). Notice of the scheduling of the Commission's reviews 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 June 2, 2020 (85 FR 33711).
