handle is hein.gao/gaobabaum0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLL-R GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Administration Of The Steel Trigger Price Mechanism The steel trigger price mechanism was estab- lished to speed up antidumping investiga- tions. If imports were priced below preestablished trigger prices, the Treasury Department, which originally administered the program with the Customs Service, and later the De- partment of Commerce, could initiate anti- dumping investigations without prior indus- try complaint. In operating the program: --Customs may have overlooked a large volume of potential dumping, based on criteria it and the Treasury used. However, tonnage criteria to identify potential dumping were established only for some product categories and were not directly related to potential injury to the domestic steel industry. --Treasury may not have exercised suf- ficient care in handling Customs rec- ommendations and investigations. The program was suspended in March 1980 when U.S. Steel filed major antidumping peti- tions. GAO recommends ways Commerce can improve the program if it is resumed. 112860 S/& tD STq'J ID-80-15 1cern- T1 JULY 23, 1980
