INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1378-1379 (Preliminary)]


Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber From Korea and Taiwan; 
Determination

    On the basis of the record \1\ 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 low melt 
polyester staple fiber from Korea and Taiwan, provided for in 
subheading 5503.20 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Pursuant to section 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 section 207.21 of the Commission's 
rules, upon notice from the Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of 
affirmative preliminary determinations in the investigations under 
section 733(b) of the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are 
negative, upon notice of an affirmative final determinations in those 
investigations under section 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 June 27, 2017, Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, America, Livingston, 
New Jersey 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 LTFV imports of low melt 
polyester staple fiber from Korea and Taiwan. Accordingly, on June 27, 
2017, the Commission, pursuant to section 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673b(a)), instituted antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1378-
1379 (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 July 3, 2017 (82 FR 30907). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on July 18, 2017, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to section 733(a) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on August 11, 2017. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4720 (August 2017), 
entitled Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber from Korea and Taiwan: 
Investigation Nos. 1378-1379 (Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: August 11, 2017.
