INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1675-1678 (Preliminary)]
Dioctyl Terephthalate (DOTP) From Malaysia, Poland, Taiwan, and
Turkey; 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 dioctyl
terephthalate (``DOTP'') from Malaysia, Poland, Taiwan, and Turkey,
provided for in subheadings 2917.39.20, 2917.39.70, and 3812.20.10 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\ 89 FR 29285, April 22, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. Any other party
may file an entry of appearance for the final phase of the
investigations after publication of the final phase notice of
scheduling. 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. As provided in
section 207.20 of the Commission's rules, the Director of the Office of
Investigations will circulate draft questionnaires for the final phase
of the investigations to parties to the investigations, placing copies
on the Commission's Electronic Document Information System (EDIS,
<a href="https://edis.usitc.gov">https://edis.usitc.gov</a>), for comment.
Background
On March 26, 2024, Eastman Chemical Company, Kingsport, Tennessee,
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 DOTP from Malaysia,
Poland,

Taiwan, and Turkey. Accordingly, effective March 26, 2024, the
Commission instituted antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1675-
1678 (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 April 1, 2024 (89 FR 22450). The
Commission conducted its conference on April 16, 2024. 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 May 10, 2024. The views of
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5505 (May 2024),
entitled Dioctyl Terephthalate from Malaysia, Poland, Taiwan, and
Turkey: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1675-1678 (Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
