Background
On April 26, 2024, Magotteaux Inc., Franklin, Tennessee, 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 HCCIGM from India and
LTFV imports of HCCIGM from India. Accordingly, effective April 26, 2024, the Commission
instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-726 and antidumping duty investigation
No. 731-TA-1694 (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 May 2, 2024 (89 FR 35860). The Commission conducted its conference
on May 17, 2024. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to §§ 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 June 10, 2024. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC
