Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Five‑Year Review of Steel Duties
The U.S. International Trade Commission instituted five‑year reviews on November 3, 2025, to decide whether revoking the countervailing duty order on forged steel fittings from India and the antidumping orders on forged steel fittings from India and South Korea would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the U.S. domestic industry. The original Order Date for these measures is December 11, 2020; interested parties may submit information to the Commission to inform that decision.
Opportunity To Participate and Comment
Persons and organizations (including industrial users and consumer organizations) may participate in these reviews by filing an entry of appearance and submitting the information requested. To be assured of consideration, responses must be filed by December 31, 2025 (by 5:15 p.m.), and comments on the adequacy of responses may be filed by February 10, 2026; filings must be made electronically through the Commission's EDIS system.
Data Requests and Reporting Burden
The Commission requests detailed 2024 data from U.S. producers, importers, and foreign producers/exporters—quantities in short tons and values in U.S. dollars—and lists of producers, importers, and purchasers. The public reporting burden is estimated to average 15 hours per response; the OMB control number is 3117 0016 with expiration date June 30, 2026.
