SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—In August 2000, the 

Commission determined that a U.S. 

industry was materially injured by 

reason of imports of tin- and chromiumcoated steel sheet (‘‘TCCSS’’) from Japan 

found by the U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) to be sold in the 

United States at less than fair value. Tinand Chromium-Coated Steel Sheet from 

Japan, Inv. No. 731–TA–860 (Final), 

USITC Pub. 3337 (August 2000). The 

Commission’s affirmative determination 

was the subject of several appeals and 

three remand proceedings. Ultimately, 

in accordance with the Federal Circuit’s 

mandate, the U.S. Court of International 

Trade (CIT) affirmed the Commission’s 

second remand determination and thus 

reinstated the Commission’s affirmative 

material injury determination. See 

Nippon Steel Corporation, et al. v. 

United States, 31 CIT 1588, 433 F. Supp. 

2d 1336 (Ct. Int’l Trade 2007). 

In the first, second, and third full fiveyear reviews, the Commission found 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on TCCSS from Japan would be 

likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of material injury to an 

industry in the United States within a 

reasonably foreseeable time. Tin- and 

Chromium-Coated Steel Sheet from 

Japan, Inv. No. 731–TA–860 (Review), 

USITC Pub. 3860 (June 2006); Tin- and 

Chromium-Coated Steel Sheet from 

Japan, Inv. No. 731–TA–860 (Second 

Review), USITC Pub. 4325 (May 2012); 

Tin- and Chromium-Coated Steel Sheet 

from Japan, Inv. No. 731–TA–860 

(Third Review), USITC Pub. 4795 (June 

2018). 

On August 5, 2022, a request for a 

changed circumstances review of the 

Commission’s affirmative determination 

regarding TCCSS from Japan was filed 

by the Can Manufacturers Institute 

(‘‘CMI’’), Silgan Containers, LLC 

(‘‘Silgan’’), Sonoco Product Company 

(‘‘Sonoco’’), Trivium Packaging USA 

Inc. (‘‘Trivium’’), Crown Holdings, Inc. 

(‘‘Crown’’), and Nippon Steel 

Corporation (‘‘NSC’’) (collectively, 

‘‘CMI’’). CMI’s request alleges that there 

have been significant changed 

circumstances since the Commission’s 

affirmative determination in the third 

five-year review. Specifically, CMI 

claims that there has been a dramatic 

reduction in the domestic industry’s 

production capacity for TCCSS since 

2018. CMI further contends that subject 

producers in Japan have reduced their 

TCCSS capacity since the last reviews 

and no longer possess excess capacity. 

On October 28, 2022, the Commission 

published a Federal Register notice 

inviting comments from the public on 

whether changed circumstances exist 

sufficient to warrant the institution of a 

changed circumstances review (87 FR 

65248, Oct. 28, 2022). Comments in 

response to this notice were filed on 

December 15, 2022. The Commission 

received separate submissions opposing 

the institution of a changed 

circumstances review filed on behalf of 

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. and U.S. Steel 

Corporation. The Commission also 

received separate submissions in favor 

of instituting a changed circumstances 

review on behalf of The Consumer 

Brands Association (‘‘CBA’’), the Steel 

Tinplate Against Tariffs Coalition 

(‘‘STAT’’), and U.S. Representative 

Claudia Tenney. U.S. Representatives 

Salud Carbajal, Jim Costa, Mark 

DeSaulnier, and John Garamendi filed 

joint comments in support of initiating 

a changed circumstances review. 

On January 15, 2023, the Commission 

voted unanimously to waive its 45-day 

rule for determining whether to institute 

a changed circumstances review. 

On June 1, 2023, Commerce initiated, 

and the Commission instituted, the 

fourth five-year sunset review of the 

antidumping duty order on TCCSS from 

Japan. 88 FR 35832; 88 FR 35920. On 

September 5, 2023, the Commission 

voted unanimously to conduct a full 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on TCCSS from Japan. 88 FR 64464 

(Sept. 19, 2023). 

On September 19, 2023, the 

Commission determined not to institute 

a changed circumstances review of the 

antidumping duty order on TCCSS from 

Japan. The Commission found that 

conducting a changed circumstances 

review was unwarranted because it 

would be duplicative of the pending full 

five-year review. See Eveready Battery 

Co. Inc., v. United States, 77 F. Supp. 

2d 1327, 1334 (Ct. Int’l Trade, Nov. 23, 

1999) (finding that a request for a 

changed circumstances review was 

rendered moot by the Commission’s 

institution of a full five-year review); see 

also Diamond Sawblades and Parts 

Thereof from China, 79 FR 35568–69 

(June 23, 2014) (denying request for 

changed circumstances review because 

it would be duplicative of the ongoing 

full five-year review). 

Authority: This notice is published
