SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background.--In November 2024, the Commission determined that an
industry in the United States was materially injured by reason of
imports of aluminum lithographic printing plates from China and Japan
that were sold in the United States at less than fair value and
subsidized by the government of China. Aluminum Lithographic Printing
Plates from China and Japan, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-694 and 731-TA-1641-1642
(Final), USITC Pub. No. 5559 (Nov. 2024). Respondents Fujifilm North
America Corporation, Fujifilm Corporation, and Fujifilm Printing Plate
(China) Co. Ltd. contested the Commission's determinations before the
U.S. Court of International Trade (``CIT''). The CIT remanded for the
Commission to reconsider ``whether {Fujifilm Manufacturing USA, Inc.
(``Fujifilm Greenwood''){time} is a related party,'' discussing ``the
four factors in 19 U.S.C. 1677(4)(B)(ii),'' and whether ``appropriate
circumstances exist to exclude Fujifilm Greenwood from the domestic
industry,'' addressing ``how the instant facts are an `appropriate'
case for excluding a related party in light of the example provided in
the legislative history . . . .'' Fujifilm N. Am. Corp. v. United
States, Court No. 24-00251, Slip Op. 26-17 (Ct. Int'l Trade Feb. 18,
2026).

persons listed on the Commission Secretary's service list) and also

as appropriate, by the administrative protective order issued in the

parties to the remand proceedings, and the Secretary will maintain a

administrative protective order during the remand proceedings.

record. The Commission will permit the parties to file comments
concerning how the Commission could best comply with the Court's remand
