INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-716-719 and 731-TA-1683-1687 (Preliminary)]
Epoxy Resins From China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and
Thailand; 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 epoxy
resins from South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, provided for in
subheading 3907.30.00 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 alleged to be subsidized by the governments
of South Korea and Taiwan.\2\ 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 epoxy resins
from China and India, provided for in subheading 3907.30.00 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be
sold in the United States at LTFV and alleged to be subsidized by the
governments of China and India.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
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 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. 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 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. 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 April 3, 2024, the U.S. Epoxy Resin Producers Ad Hoc Coalition,
which is composed of Olin Corp., Clayton, Missouri and Westlake Corp.,
Houston, 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 subsidized imports of
epoxy resins from China, India, South Korea, and Taiwan and LTFV
imports of epoxy resins from China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and
Thailand. Accordingly, effective April 3, 2024, the Commission
instituted countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-716-719 and
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1683-1687 (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 9, 2024 (89 FR 24860). The
Commission conducted its conference on April 24, 2024. 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 May
20, 2024. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5510 (May 2024), entitled Epoxy Resins from China, India,
South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-716-719
and 731-TA-1683-1687 (Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
