The International Trade Administration has issued an affirmative final determination that certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate (CTL plate) products with 0.0008 percent or more boron, by weight, regardless of the producer, exporter or importer, are circumventing the antidumping duty order on CTL plate from China (A-570-849).

Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., lambasted FCC transparency after the agency refused to show him the allotment optimization model (AOM) used by the commission to predict various possible outcomes of voluntary incentive auctions (CD June 21 p13). In an Aug. 3 letter, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski told Dingell that disclosing the model would harm the agency’s process and the marketplace. The refusal is “deeply troubling from a number of perspectives,” Dingell replied in a letter Tuesday. “One wonders if perhaps Members of Congress would have an easier time getting information from the Commission by filing Freedom of Information Act requests."
