4For purposes of these investigations, the term

‘‘stainless steel bar’’ includes articles of stainless

steel in straight lengths that have been either hotrolled, forged, turned, cold-drawn, cold-rolled or

otherwise cold-finished, or ground, having a

uniform solid cross section along their whole length

in the shape of circles, segments of circles, ovals,

rectangles (including squares), triangles, hexagons,

octagons, or other convex polygons. Stainless steel

bar includes cold-finished stainless steel bars that

are turned or ground in straight lengths, whether

produced from hot-rolled bar or from straightened

and cut rod or wire, and reinforcing bars that have

indentations, ribs, grooves, or other deformations

produced during the rolling process.

Except as specified above, the term does not

include stainless steel semi-finished products, cut

length flat-rolled products (i.e., cut length rolled

products which if less than 4.75 mm in thickness

have a width measuring at least 10 times the

thickness, or if 4.75 mm or more in thickness

having a width which exceeds 150 mm and

measures at least twice the thickness), products that

have been cut from stainless steel sheet, strip, or

plate, wire (i.e., cold-formed products in coils, of

any uniform solid cross section along their whole

length, which do not conform to the definition of

flat-rolled products), and angles, shapes and

sections.

[Investigations Nos. 701–TA–413

(Preliminary)]

Stainless Steel Bar From France,

Germany, Italy, Korea, Taiwan, and the

United Kingdom

Determinations

On the basis of the record 1 developed

in the subject investigations, the United

States International Trade Commission

determines,2 pursuant to section 733(a)

of the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Act),3 that

there is a reasonable indication that an

industry in the United States is

materially injured by reason of imports

of stainless steel bar 4 from France,

Germany, Italy, Korea, Taiwan, and the

United Kingdom that are alleged to be

sold in the United States at less than fair

value (LTFV).5

The Commission also determines,6

pursuant to section 703(a) of the Act,7

that there is a reasonable indication that

an industry in the United States is

materially injured by reason of imports

of stainless steel bar from Italy that are

alleged to be subsidized by the

Government of Italy.8

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 affirmative preliminary

determinations in the investigation

under sections 703(b) and 733(b) of the

Act, or, if the preliminary

determinations are negative, upon

notice of affirmative final

determinations in those investigations

under sections 705(a) and 735(a) of the

Act. Parties that filed entries of

appearance in the preliminary phase of

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 37 / Friday, February 23, 2001 / Notices 11315

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

The Commission instituted these

investigations effective December 28,

2000, following receipt of a petition

filed with the Commission and the

Department of Commerce by Carpenter

Technology Corp. (Wyomissing, PA);

Crucible Specialty Metals (Syracuse,

NY); Electralloy Corp. (Oil City, PA);

Empire Specialty Steel, Inc. (Dunkirk,

NY); Slater Steels Corp., Specialty

Alloys Division (Fort Wayne, IN); and

the United Steelworkers of America,

AFL–CIO/CLC (Pittsburgh, PA), alleging

that an industry in the United States is

materially injured and threatened with

material injury by reason of imports of

stainless steel bar from France,

Germany, Italy, Korea, Taiwan, and the

United Kingdom, that are alleged to be

sold in the United States at LTFV, and

by reason of imports of stainless steel

bar from Italy that are alleged to be

subsidized by the Government of Italy.

Accordingly, effective December 28,

2000, the Commission instituted

countervailing duty investigation No.

701–TA–413 (Preliminary) and

antidumping investigations Nos. 731–

TA–913–918 (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 January 4, 2001 (66

FR 807). The conference was held in

Washington, DC, on January 18, 2001,

and all persons who requested the

opportunity were permitted to appear in

person or by counsel.

The Commission transmitted its

determinations in these investigations to

the Secretary of Commerce on February

12, 2001. The views of the Commission

are contained in USITC Publication

Background

As requested by the USTR, the

Commission will provide information

on U.S. market conditions, including

domestic demand, domestic supply, and

domestic production for men’s and

boys’ worsted wool suits, suit-type

jackets, and trousers; worsted wool

fabric and yarn used in the manufacture

of such clothing; and wool fibers used

in the manufacture of such fabrics and

yarn. Also as requested by the USTR,

the Commission will provide, to the

extent possible, data on:

(1) Increases or decreases in sales and

production of the subject domesticallyproduced worsted wool fabrics;

(2) Increases or decreases in domestic

production and consumption of the

subject apparel items;

(3) The ability of domestic producers

of the subject worsted wool fabrics to

meet the needs of domestic

manufacturers of the subject apparel

items in terms of quantity and ability to

meet market demands for the apparel

items;

(4) Sales of the subject worsted wool

fabrics lost by domestic manufacturers

to imports benefiting from the

temporary duty reductions on certain

worsted wool fabrics under the tariffrate quotas (TRQs) provided for in

headings 9902.51.11 and 9902.51.12 of

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTS);

(5) Loss of sales by domestic

manufacturers of the subject apparel

items related to the inability to purchase

adequate supplies of the subject worsted

wool fabrics on a cost competitive basis;

and

(6) The price per square meter of

imports and domestic sales of the

subject worsted wool fabrics.

The USTR requested that the

Commission submit two ‘‘annual

reports’’ and an ‘‘interim letter’’ under

this investigation. The first annual

report, providing data for 1999, 2000,

and year-to-date 2000–01, was requested

by September 17, 2001, and the second

annual report, providing data for 2001

and year-to-date 2001–02, was requested

by September 16, 2002. In the interim,

the USTR requested that the

Commission provide by letter (interim

letter) the most comprehensive

information available on the factors

described above for the period from

January 1, 1999, to the present. The

Commission was requested to submit

this interim letter to USTR within 45

days after the U.S. Department of

Commerce publishes a notice in the

Federal Register soliciting requests from

U.S. manufacturers of men’s and boys’

worsted wool suits, suit-type jackets,

and trousers to modify the limitations

on the quantity of imports of worsted

wool fabrics under the TRQs provided

for in HTS headings 9902.51.11 and

9902.51.12.USTR requested that the

Commission issue public versions of the

interim letter and the two annual

reports, as soon as possible thereafter,

with any business confidential

information deleted.

In the request letter, the USTR

referred to Title V of the Trade and

Development Act of 2000 (the Act),
