INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1567-1569 (Preliminary)]
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber From France, Korea, and Mexico
Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber from France, Korea, and Mexico, provided
for in subheading 4002.51.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less
than fair value (``LTFV'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 86 FR 40192 (July 27, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commencement of Final Phase Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided
in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary
determinations in the investigations under Sec. 733(b) of the Act, or,
if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon notice of
affirmative final determinations in those investigations under Sec.
735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries of appearance in the
preliminary phase of the investigations need not enter a separate
appearance for the final phase of the investigations. Industrial users,
and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold at the retail
level, representative consumer organizations have the right to appear
as parties in Commission antidumping investigations. The Secretary will
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the
investigations.
Background
On June 30, 2021, Zeon Chemicals L.P. and Zeon GP, LLC
(collectively ``Zeon''), Louisville, Kentucky, filed petitions with the
Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry in the United States
is materially injured and threatened by further material injury by
reason of LTFV imports of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber from France,
Korea, and Mexico. Accordingly, effective June 30, 2021, the Commission
instituted antidumping duty investigations Nos. 731-TA-1567-1569
(Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference 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 of July 7, 2021 (86 FR 35825). In light
of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its conference through
written testimony and video conference. All persons who requested the
opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. 733(a)
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)). It completed and filed its
determinations in these investigations on August 16, 2021. The views of
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5227 (August 2021),
entitled Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR) from France, Korea, and
Mexico: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1567-1569 (Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: August 16, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
