provided for in subheading 2933.69.50 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.<SUP>2 3</SUP>

indication that an industry in the United States is threatened with
material injury by reason of imports of hexamine from China,
Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia that are alleged to be sold in the

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 September 30, 2024, Bakelite Synthetics (Atlanta, Georgia) 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 hexamine from China and India
and LTFV imports of hexamine from China, Germany, India, and Saudi
Arabia. Accordingly, effective September 30, 2024, the Commission
instituted countervailing duty investigation Nos. 701-TA-737-738 and
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1712-1715 (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 on October 4, 2024 (89 FR 80929). The
Commission conducted its conference on October 21, 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
November 14, 2024. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5563 (November 2024), entitled Hexamine
(Hexamethylenetetramine) from China, Germany, India, and Saudi Arabia:
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-737-738 and 731-TA-1712-1715 (Preliminary).
