Brass Rod From Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa, and South

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 an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of brass rod from Brazil, India, Mexico, South
Africa, and South Korea, provided for in subheadings 7407.21.15,
7407.21.30, 7407.21.70, and 7407.21.90 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States
at less than fair value (``LTFV''), and imports of the subject
merchandise from South Korea that have been found by Commerce to be
subsidized by the government of South Korea.<SUP>2 3</SUP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Background
The Commission instituted these investigations effective April 27,
2023, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and
Commerce by American Brass Rod Fair Trade Coalition, Washington,
District of Columbia; Mueller Brass Co., Port Huron, Michigan; and
Wieland Chase LLC, Montpelier, Ohio. The Commission scheduled the final
phase of the investigations following notification of a preliminary
determination by Commerce that imports of brass rod from India were
subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1671b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing 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
[[Page 49194]]
notice in the Federal Register of October 5, 2023 (88 FR 6922). The
Commission conducted its hearing on December 12, 2023. All persons who
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not
align its countervailing duty investigation with its antidumping duty
investigation regarding India, and reached an earlier final
countervailing duty determination. On February 1, 2024, the Commission
issued a final affirmative determination in its countervailing duty
investigation of brass rod from India (89 FR 8440, February 7, 2024).
Following notification of final determinations by Commerce that imports
of brass rod from Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea
were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)) and imports of brass rod from South Korea were
being subsidized by the government of South Korea within the meaning of
section 705(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(a)), notice of the
supplemental scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's
antidumping duty investigations regarding brass rod from Brazil, India,
Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea and countervailing duty
investigation regarding brass rod from South Korea 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 May 1, 2024 (89 FR 35236).
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. 705(b)
and Sec. 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C.
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these
investigations on June 5, 2024. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5513 (June 2024), entitled Brass Rod
from Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea:
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-688 and 731-TA-1612-1613 and 1615-1617
(Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: June 5, 2024.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
