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 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 regarding India 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). On June 5, 2024, the Commission issued final
affirmative determinations in its countervailing duty investigation of
brass rod from South Korea and its antidumping duty investigations of
brass rod from Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa, and South Korea (89
FR 49193, June 11, 2024). The investigation schedules became further
staggered when Commerce aligned its countervailing duty investigation
regarding Israel with its antidumping duty investigation regarding
Israel and tolled all deadlines for its antidumping duty investigation
regarding Israel by 90 days.
Following notification of final determinations by Commerce that
imports of brass rod from Israel were being sold at LTFV within the
meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(a)) and were
being subsidized by the government of Israel 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 and countervailing duty investigations regarding brass
rod from Israel 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 August 16, 2024
(89 FR 66738).
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 September 19, 2024. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5545 (September 2024), entitled Brass
Rod from Israel: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-687 and 731-TA-1614 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: September 19, 2024.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
