INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation No. 731-TA-1526 (Final)]
Silicon Metal From Malaysia; Determination
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigation, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of silicon metal, provided for in subheadings
2804.69.10 and 2804.69.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, from Malaysia, that have been found by the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States
at less than fair value (``LTFV'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted the investigations effective June 30,
2020, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and
Commerce by Globe Specialty Metal, Inc., Beverly, Ohio and Mississippi
Silicon, LLC, Burnsville, Mississippi. The final phase of the
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of silicon metal
from Kazakhstan were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and that imports of silicon metal from
Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland were being sold at LTFV within the
meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's investigations and of
a public hearing to be held in connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register on December 30, 2020 (85 FR 86578). In
light of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its hearing through
written testimony and video conference on February 22, 2021. All
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce: (i)
Postponed the final determination for its antidumping duty
investigation regarding Silicon Metal from Malaysia; and (ii) reached
earlier final antidumping and countervailing duty determinations
concerning Silicon Metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, and
Kazakhstan. On April 12, 2021, the Commission issued final affirmative
determinations in its antidumping and countervailing duty
investigations of Silicon Metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland,
and Kazakhstan (86 FR 20197, April 16, 2021). Following notification of
a final determination by Commerce that imports of Silicon Metal from
Malaysia were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a)
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)),\2\ notice of the supplemental
scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's antidumping duty
investigation with respect to Malaysia was given by posting copies of
the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade
Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal
Register on June 30, 2021 (86 FR 34786).
