INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation No. 731-TA-1586 (Final)]
Sodium Nitrite From Russia
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 sodium nitrite from Russia, provided for in
subheading 2834.10.10 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States, 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'').\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\ 87 FR 55781 (September 12, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted this investigation effective January 13,
2022, following receipt of antidumping and countervailing duty
petitions filed with the Commission and Commerce by Chemtrade Chemicals
US LLC, Parsippany, New Jersey. The Commission established a general
schedule for the conduct of the final phase of its investigations of
sodium nitrite from India and Russia following publication of a
preliminary determination by Commerce that imports of sodium nitrite
were subsidized by the government of Russia. 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 of April 20, 2022 (87 FR 23567). 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 June 21, 2022. All persons who requested the opportunity
were permitted to participate.
The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not
align its countervailing duty investigation on Russia with either of
the corresponding antidumping duty investigations; did not postpone the
final determination of its antidumping duty investigation on Russia;
and aligned its countervailing duty investigation on sodium nitrite
from India with its postponed antidumping duty investigation regarding
India. On August 15, 2022, the Commission issued a final affirmative
determination in its countervailing duty investigation of sodium
nitrite from Russia (87 FR 51141, August 19, 2022). Following
publication of a final determination by Commerce that imports of sodium
nitrite from Russia were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of
section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)), notice of the
supplemental scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's
antidumping duty investigation on Russia 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 September 23, 2022 (87 FR 58136).
The Commission made this determination pursuant to Sec. 735(b) of
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determination
in this investigation on October 27, 2022. The views of the Commission
are contained in USITC Publication 5379 (October 2022), entitled Sodium
Nitrite from Russia: Investigation No. 731-TA-1586 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: October 28, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
