[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1575-1577 (Preliminary)]
Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber From Czechia, Italy, and Russia

(``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 emulsion
styrene-butadiene rubber from Czechia, Italy, and Russia, provided for
in subheading 4002.19.00 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\ \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Effective November 15, 2021, Lion Elastomers LLC, Port Neches,
Texas filed petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that
an industry in the United States is materially injured or threatened
with material injury by reason of LTFV imports of emulsion styrene-
butadiene rubber from Czechia, Italy, and Russia. Accordingly,
effective November 15, 2021, the Commission instituted antidumping duty
investigation Nos. 731-TA-1575-1577 (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 November 22, 2021 (86 FR 66335). 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 December 30, 2021. The views
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5274 (January
2022), entitled Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber from Czechia, Italy,
and Russia: Investigation Nos. 731 TA 1575-1577 (Preliminary).
Issued: December 30, 2021.
