INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-710-711 and 731-TA-1673-1674 (Preliminary)]
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (``2,4-D'') From China and India
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 2,4-
Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (``2,4-D'') from China and India, provided
for in subheading 2918.99.20 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 imports of the subject merchandise from
China and India that are alleged to be subsidized by the governments of
China and India.\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 34200 and 34205 (April 30, 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 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 March 14, 2024, Corteva Agriscience LLC (Indianapolis, Indiana)
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 2,4-D from China and
India and LTFV imports of 2,4-D from China and India. Accordingly,
effective March 14, 2024, the Commission instituted countervailing duty
investigation Nos. 701-TA-710-711 and antidumping duty investigation
Nos. 731-TA-1673-1674 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference to be held in
[[Page 45924]]
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 on
March 20, 2024 (89 FR 19876). The Commission conducted its conference
on April 4, 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 5511 (May 2024), entitled 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid
(``2,4-D'') from China and India: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-710-711 and
