INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-1269 (Final)]


Silicomanganese From Australia

Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigation, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is not materially injured 
or threatened with material injury, and the establishment of an 
industry in the United States is not materially retarded, by reason of 
imports of silicomanganese from Australia, provided for in subheading 
7202.30.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that 
have been found by the Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold 
in the United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in section 207.2(f) of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Commission and Commerce by Felman Production LLC, Letart, West

imports of silicomanganese from Australia were being sold at LTFV
