FACT SHEET
Final Affirmative Determinations: Stainless Steel Angle from
Japan, Korea, and Spain
(March 19, 2001)
Background:
At noon on March 19, 2001, the Department of Commerce (DOC) announced
the preliminary determinations in the above-referenced antidumping
duty (AD) investigations.
These cases were included in a petition filed on August 18, 2000,
against stainless steel angle from Japan, Korea, and Spain. Since
we have no participating respondents in these cases, we issued
the preliminary determinations early on January 8, 2001. No parties
have submitted comments on the preliminary determinations. Therefore,
our final determinations remain unchanged from the preliminary
determinations.
Petitioners:
The petition in these investigations was filed by Slater Steels
Corporation (Speciality Alloys Division) and the United Steelworkers
of America, AFL-CIO/CLC.
Product Description:
The merchandise subject to these investigations is stainless
steel angle from Japan, Korea, and Spain. The technical language
describing the scope of these investigations is in the final determinations
notice which will be published in the Federal Register.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY
FROM: Timothy J. Hauser,
Acting Under Secretary for International Trade
SUBJECT: Antidumping Duty
Investigations of Stainless Steel Angle from Japan, Korea, and
Spain
At noon on March 19, 2001, the Department
of Commerce announced the results of the final determinations
in the antidumping duty (AD) investigations of stainless steel
angle (SSA) from Japan, Korea, and Spain. This decision was made
by the Department on March 16, 2001. For the SSA case on Japan,
the AD margins ranged from 70.48 to 114.51 percent. For the SSA
case on Korea, the AD margins ranged from 40.21 to 99.56 percent.
For the SSA case on Spain, the AD margins ranged from 24.32 to
61.45 percent. Because none of the selected producers/exporters
of the subject merchandise in each case decided to participate
in these investigations, these final determinations were based
upon the use of "adverse facts available" as required by the law
(section 776 of the Statute).
