INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-752 and 731-TA-1730 (Preliminary)]
Active Anode Material From China
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 the establishment of
an industry in the United States is materially retarded by reason of
imports of active anode material from China, provided for in
subheadings 2504.10.50 and 3801.10.50 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 alleged to be subsidized by the
government of China.<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)).
\2\ 90 FR 3788 and 90 FR 3792 (January 15, 2025).
\3\ Commissioner Rhonda K. Schmidtlein did not participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commencement of Final Phase Investigations
Pursuant to Sec. 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 section 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 section 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 Sec. 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.

the members of which are Anovion
[[Page 9164]]
Technologies LLC, Sanborn, New York; Syrah Technologies LLC
(``Syrah''), Vidalia, Louisiana; NOVONIX Anode Materials LLC,
Chattanooga, Tennessee; Epsilon Advanced Materials Pty. Ltd., Leland,
North Carolina; and SKI US, Inc., Marietta, 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 active anode material from China and
LTFV imports of active anode material from China. Accordingly,
effective December 18, 2024, the Commission instituted countervailing
duty investigation No. 701-TA-752 and antidumping duty investigation
No. 731-TA-1730 (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 December 26, 2024 (89 FR 105100). The
Commission conducted its conference on January 8, 2025. All persons who
requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections
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
February 3, 2025. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
Publication 5585 (February 2025), entitled Active Anode Material from
China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-752 and 731-TA-1730 (Preliminary).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: February 3, 2025.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
