The Commerce Department erred by finding that the South Korean government's provision of electricity for less than adequate remuneration conferred a non-measurable benefit in a countervailing duty review, U.S. steel company Nucor Corp. argued in a July 8 complaint at the Court of International Trade. During the review, Nucor took issue with the evidentiary flaws with the cost data that Commerce used, telling the agency that it was illegal to say that the data reflected market-based costs. The suit mirrors the language in a separate case brought by Nucor over a different CVD review (Nucor Corporation v. United States, CIT #22-00171).

The U.S. government argues its free speech matters more than citizens’ free speech, said Louisiana and Missouri Thursday at the U.S. District Court for Western Louisiana. “The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected this argument,” said the states, citing 2017’s Matal v. Tam. The Biden administration urged the court last week not to grant expedited discovery on seeking a preliminary injunction in case 3:22-cv-01213-TAD-KDM, where the two states claim the administration colluded with social media platforms to censor and suppress truthful information (see 2207050042). Courts often grant expedited discovery in cases challenging a government action’s constitutionality, responded the states. “The Government cites no authority to the contrary.”
