INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1186-1187 (Second Review)]


Certain Stilbenic Optical Brightening Agents From China and 
Taiwan

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject five-year 
reviews, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that revocation of the antidumping duty orders on certain 
stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan would be 
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an 
industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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 previously instituted these second five-year reviews 
on October 2, 2022 (87 FR 59827), but subsequently terminated the 
reviews on January 13, 2023 (88 FR 2374) following Commerce's final 
results of sunset reviews and revocation of the orders on certain 
stilbenic optical brightening agents from China and Taiwan (87 FR 
80162, December 29, 2022). Following an appeal by domestic producer 
Archroma U.S., Inc., the U.S. Court of International Trade directed 
Commerce and the Commission to undertake reviews of the orders. See 
Archroma U.S., Inc. v. U.S. Dep't of Commerce, et al., 703 F. Supp. 3d 
1396, 1403-04 (Ct. Int'l Trade 2024). The Commission reinstituted these 
reviews on July 1, 2024 (89 FR 54525) and determined on October 7, 2024 
that it would conduct expedited reviews (89 FR 88303, November 7, 
2024).
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 751(c) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these reviews on February 21, 2025. The views of the 
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5591 (February 2025), 
entitled Certain Stilbenic Optical Brightening Agents from China and 
Taiwan: Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1186-1187 (Second Review).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: February 21, 2025.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
