determines, pursuant to section 733(a)
[[Page 33394]]
of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1673b(a)), that there is a
reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of imports from Canada, India, Japan,
Korea, Spain, and Taiwan of stainless steel round wire, provided for in
subheading 7223.00.10 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).

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 section 207.21 of the Commission's rules upon notice from the
Department of Commerce (Commerce) of an affirmative preliminary
determination in the investigations under section 733(b) of the Act,
or, if the preliminary determination is negative, upon notice of an
affirmative final determination in the investigations under section
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 antidumping and countervailing duty
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 March 27, 1998, a petition was filed with the Commission and
Commerce by ACS Industries, Inc., Woonsocket, RI; Al Tech Specialty
Steel Corp., Dunkirk, NY; Branford Wire & Manufacturing Co., Mountain
Home, NC; Carpenter Technology Corp., Reading, PA; Handy & Harman
Specialty Wire Group, Cockeysville, MD; Industrial Alloys, Inc.,
Pomona, CA; Loos & Co., Inc., Pomfret, CT; Sandvik Steel Co., Clarks
Summit, PA; Sumiden Wire Products Corp., Dickson, TN; and Techalloy
Co., Inc., Mahwah, NJ, alleging that an industry in the United States
is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of
LTFV imports of stainless steel round wire from Canada, India, Japan,
Korea, Spain, and Taiwan. Accordingly, effective March 27, 1998, the
Commission instituted antidumping investigations Nos. 731-TA-781
through 786 (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 April 6, 1998 (63 FR 16827). The
conference was held in Washington, DC, on April 17, 1998, and all
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in
person or by counsel.
The Commission transmitted its determination in these
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on June 5, 1998. The views
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3111 (June 1998),
entitled ``Stainless Steel Round Wire from Canada, India, Japan, Korea,
Spain, and Taiwan: Investigations Nos. 731-TA-781 through 786
(Preliminary).''
By order of the Commission.
Issued: June 11, 1998.
