E6-3718. Structural Steel Beams From Japan and Korea

Determinations

On the basis of the record ^[1] developed in the subject five-year reviews, the United States International Trade Commission (Commission) determines, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)) (the Act), that revocation of the antidumping order on structural steel beams from Japan and revocation of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on structural steel beams from Korea would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.^[2]
