COMMISSION 

[Investigation No. 731–TA–1339 (Final)] 

Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar From 

Taiwan 

Determination 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject investigation, the United 

States International Trade Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) determines, pursuant 

to the Tariff Act of 1930 (‘‘the Act’’), 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of steel concrete reinforcing bar from 

Taiwan, provided for in subheadings 

7213.10, 7214.20, and 7228.30 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States, that have been found by 

the Department of Commerce 

(‘‘Commerce’’) to be sold in the United 

States at less than fair value (‘‘LTFV’’). 

Background 

The Commission, pursuant to section 

735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)), 

instituted this investigation effective 

September 20, 2016, following receipt of 

a petition filed with the Commission 

and Commerce by the Rebar Trade 

Action Coalition and its individual 

members: Bayou Steel Group, LaPlace, 

Louisiana; 2 Byer Steel Group, Inc., 

Cincinnati, Ohio; Commercial Metals 

Company, Irving, Texas; Gerdau 

Ameristeel U.S. Inc., Tampa, Florida; 

Nucor Corporation, Charlotte, North 

Carolina; and Steel Dynamics, Inc., 

Pittsboro, Indiana. The final phase of 

the investigation was scheduled by the 

Commission following notification of a 

preliminary determination by 

Commerce that imports of rebar from 

Taiwan were sold at LTFV within the 

meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 

1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of 

the final phase of the Commission’s 

investigation 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 March 

15, 2017 (82 FR 13854). The hearing was 

held in Washington, DC, on May 18, 

2017, and all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission made this 

determination pursuant to section 

735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). 

It completed and filed its determination 

in this investigation on September 11, 

2017. The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 4724 

(September 2017), entitled Steel 

Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Taiwan: 

Investigation No. 731–TA–1339 (Final). 

By order of the Commission.
