INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-695-698 and 731-TA-1643-1657 (Preliminary)]
Aluminum Extrusions From China, Colombia, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea,
Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam
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 aluminum
extrusions from China, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Italy,
Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab
Emirates and Vietnam provided for in subheadings 7604.10.10,
7604.10.30, 7604.10.50, 7604.21.00, 7604.29.10, 7604.29.30, 7604.29.50,
7608.10.00, 7608.20.00, 7609.00.00, 7610.10.00, and 7610.90.00 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'') and to be
subsidized by the governments of China, Indonesia, and Mexico. The
Commission also determines that there is a reasonable indication that
an industry in the United States is threatened with material injury by
reason of imports of aluminum extrusions from Turkey that are alleged
to be subsidized by the government of Turkey.\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\ 88 FR 74421 and 88 FR 74433 (October 31, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission further finds that imports of aluminum extrusions
from the Dominican Republic that are allegedly sold in the United
States at LTFV are negligible pursuant to section 771(24) of the Act,
and its investigation with regard to imports from the Dominican
Republic is thereby terminated pursuant to section 733(a)(1) of the
Act.
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
[[Page 82914]]
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.

Indonesia, Mexico, and Turkey and LTFV imports of aluminum extrusions
from China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, India, Indonesia,
