INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-562 and 731-TA-1329 (Preliminary)]


Ammonium Sulfate From China; Determinations

    On the basis of the record 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 an industry in the United States 
is materially injured by reason of imports of ammonium sulfate from 
China, provided for in subheading 3102.21.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be subsidized by the 
government of China and sold in the United States at less than fair 
value (``LTFV'').

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 Department of Commerce 
(``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary determinations in the 
investigations under sections 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 sections 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. 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.

Background

    On May 25, 2016, Pasadena Commodities International Nitrogen, LLC, 
Pasadena, Texas, filed a petition 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 and LTFV 
imports of certain ammonium sulfate from China. Accordingly, effective 
May 25, 2016, the Commission, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 733(a) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)), instituted 
countervailing duty investigation No. 701 TA 562 and antidumping duty 
investigation No. 731-TA-1329 (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 June 1, 2016 (81 FR 35055). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on June 15, 2016, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    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 July 
11, 2016. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 4624 (July 2016), entitled Ammonium Sulfate from China: 
Investigation Nos. 701 TA-562 and 731-TA-1329 (Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 11, 2016.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
