[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-682 and 731-TA-1592-1593 (Preliminary)]

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 certain
freight rail couplers and parts thereof from China and Mexico, provided
for in subheadings 8607.30.10 and 7326.90.86 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'') and to be subsidized
by the government of China.\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 64440 and 87 FR 64444 (October 25, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Sec. 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. Sec. 703(b) or 733(b)
of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations
under Sec. Sec. 705(a) or 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 and countervailing duty 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 September 28, 2022, McConway & Torley LLC, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, and the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber,
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers
International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC 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
subsidized imports of freight rail couplers from China and LTFV imports
of freight rail couplers from China and Mexico. Accordingly, effective
September 28, 2022, the Commission instituted countervailing duty
investigation no. 701-TA-682 and antidumping duty investigation nos.
731-TA-1592-1593 (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 October 5, 2022 (87 FR 60413). The
Commission conducted its conference on October 19, 2022. All persons
who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
completed and filed its determinations in these investigations on
November 14, 2022. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5387 (November 2022), entitled Certain Freight Rail
Couplers and Parts Thereof: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-682 and 731-TA-
1592-1593 (Preliminary).
