SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—In April 2021, the 

Commission determined that an 

industry in the United States was 

materially by reason of imports of 

SSLPP from Czechia that were sold in 

the United States at less than fair value. 

Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel 

Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe from 

Czech Republic (Czechia), Inv. No. 731– 

TA–1529 (Final), USITC Pub. No. 5183 

(April 2021). In August 2021, the 

Commission determined that an 

industry in the United States was 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of SSLPP from Korea, Russia, and 

Ukraine that were sold in the United 

States at less than fair value and 

subsidized by the governments of Russia 

and Ukraine. Seamless Carbon and 

Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure 

Pipe from Korea, Russia, and Ukraine, 

Inv. Nos. 701–TA–654–655 and 731– 

TA–1530–1532 (Final), USITC Pub. No. 

5222 (August 2021). Respondent, PAO 

TMK, contested the Commission’s 

determination regarding Russia before 

the U.S. Court of International Trade 

(‘‘CIT’’). The CIT remanded the 

Commission’s determination for the 

agency to reconsider its calculation of 

in-scope imports from Germany and 

Mexico by addressing (1) the Customs 

data for Germany and Mexico in light of 

the Commission’s determination that 

only Company A imported in-scope 

imports from Germany and only 

Company B imported in-scope imports 

from Mexico, and (2) evidence proffered 

by TMK that claims Company C 

imported in-scope imports from 

Germany, contrary to the Commission’s 

decision that Company A was the only 

importer of in-scope imports from 

Germany. PAO TMK v. United States, 

Slip Op. 23–150 (Ct. Int’l Trade, Oct. 12, 

2023). 

Participation in the remand 

proceedings.—Only those persons who 

were interested parties that participated 

in the investigations (i.e., persons listed 

on the Commission Secretary’s service 

list) and also parties to the appeal may 

participate in the remand proceedings. 

Such persons need not file any 

additional appearances with the 

Commission to participate in the 

remand proceedings, unless they are 

adding new individuals to the list of 

persons entitled to receive business 

proprietary information (‘‘BPI’’) under 

administrative protective order. BPI 

referred to during the remand 

proceedings will be governed, as 

appropriate, by the administrative 

protective order issued in the 

investigations. The Secretary will 

maintain a service list containing the 

names and addresses of all persons or 

their representatives who are parties to 

the remand proceedings, and the 

Secretary will maintain a separate list of 

those authorized to receive BPI under 

the administrative protective order 

during the remand proceedings. 

Written submissions.—The 

Commission is not reopening the record 

and will not accept the submission of 

new factual information for the record. 

The Commission will permit the parties 

to file comments concerning how the 

Commission could best comply with the 

court’s remand instructions. 

The comments must be based solely 

on the information in the Commission’s 

record. The Commission will reject 

submissions containing additional 

factual information or arguments 

pertaining to issues other than those on 

which the court has remanded this 

matter. The deadline for filing 

comments is December 1, 2023. 

Comments must be limited to no more 

than fifteen (15) double-spaced and 

single-sided pages of textual material, 

inclusive of attachments and exhibits. 

Parties are advised to consult with the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure, part 201, subparts A through 

E (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, 

subpart A (19 CFR part 207) for 

provisions of general applicability 

concerning written submissions to the 

Commission. All written submissions 

must conform to the provisions of 

section 201.8 of the Commission’s rules; 

any submissions that contain BPI must 

also conform with the requirements of 

sections 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the 

Commission’s rules. Please note the 

Secretary’s Office will accept only 

electronic filings at this time. Filings 

must be made through the 

Commission’s Electronic Document 

Information System (EDIS, https:// 

edis.usitc.gov). No in-person paperbased filings or paper copies of any 

electronic filings will be accepted until 

further notice. The Commission’s 

Handbook on E-Filing, available on the 

Commission’s website at http:// 

edis.usitc.gov, elaborates upon the 

Commission’s rules with respect to 

electronic filing. 

Additional written submissions to the 

Commission, including requests 

pursuant to section 201.12 of the 

Commission’s rules, will not be 

accepted unless good cause is shown for 

accepting such submissions or unless 

the submission is pursuant to a specific 

request by a Commissioner or 

Commission staff. 

In accordance with sections 201.16(c) 

and 207.3 of the Commission’s rules, 

each document filed by a party to the 

investigation must be served on all other 

parties to the investigation (as identified 

by either the public or BPI service list), 

and a certificate of service must be 

timely filed. The Secretary will not 

accept a document for filing without a 

certificate of service.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The information requested by the 

questionnaire is for use by the 

Commission in connection with 

Investigation No. 332–598, Greenhouse 

Gas Emissions Intensities of the U.S. 

Steel and Aluminum Industries at the 

Product Level, instituted under the 

authority of section 332(g) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1332(g)). This 

investigation and report were requested 

by the United States Trade 

Representative (USTR) on June 5, 2023. 

This investigation was initiated on July 

5, 2023, and the notice of investigation 

was published in the Federal Register 

on July 10, 2023 (88 FR 43633). The 

Commission will deliver its report to 

USTR by January 28, 2025. 

As stated in the notice of 

investigation, the USTR requested that 

the Commission’s report include 

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 

intensities of covered steel and 

aluminum products produced in the 

United States. Such information is not 

available in the requested specificity 

from governmental or other public 

sources. The Commission indicated in 

its notice of investigation that it will 

need to obtain much of such data and 

information through a survey. The 

survey will assist the Commission in 

developing, as requested, GHG 

emissions intensities which reflect 

scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 

associated with production of covered 

steel and aluminum products produced 

at facilities in the United States, as well 

as certain scope 3 GHG emissions 

associated with the upstream 

intermediate inputs into these products. 

Summary of Proposal: The 

Commission intends to submit the 

following draft information collection 

plan to OMB and invites public 

comment. 

(1) Number of forms submitted: 2. 

(2) Title of forms: Greenhouse Gas 

(GHG) Emissions Intensity 

Questionnaire, Company-level and 

Facility-level. 

(3) Type of request: New. 

(4) Frequency of use: Industry 

questionnaire, single data gathering in 

two-step collection, scheduled for 2024. 

(5) Description of respondents: U.S. 

companies and facilities that produce 

covered steel and aluminum products. 

(6) Estimated number of respondents: 

1,000 companies and 2,500 facilities. 

(7) Estimated total number of hours to 

complete the questionnaire per 

respondent: 1 hour per company, 25 

hours per facility. 

(8) Information obtained from the 

questionnaire will be treated as 

confidential business information by the 

Commission and not disclosed in a 

manner that would reveal the individual 

operations of a business. 

Method of Collection: The proposed 

collection is a two-step data collection. 

First, identified steel and aluminum 

companies will be sent a letter and/or 

email with a link and individual 

questionnaire token for accessing the 

online questionnaire’s section 1.1. This 

step involves the company providing 

information (including contact 

information) on the facilities it owns 

that produce covered steel and/or 

aluminum products. Once submitted by 

the company, each facility identified 

will receive a questionnaire token and 

link to complete the remainder of the 

questionnaire applicable to that facility. 

Respondents will be able to download a 

PDF version of the questionnaire to see 

all questions in their entirety, but this 

PDF will not be accepted as a 

submission. 

Request for Comments: Comments are 

invited on (1) the elements of the draft 

questionnaire; (2) whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary; 

(3) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed 

information collection (4) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(5) ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

The draft questionnaire and other 

supplementary documents may be 

downloaded from the USITC website at 

https://www.usitc.gov/saemissions. 

Any comments on the draft 

questionnaire should be sent via email 

at sa.emissions@usitc.gov. Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and included in the 

request for OMB approval of this 

information collection; they will also 

become a matter of public record. As 

such, proprietary or confidential 

business information should not be 

submitted as part of comments on the 

draft questionnaire. 

By order of the Commission. 

Issued: November 2, 2023.
