INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1422-1423 (Preliminary)]


Strontium Chromate From Austria and France

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 strontium 
chromate from Austria and France provided for in subheadings 2841.50.91 
and 3212.90.00 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'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 83 FR 49543 (October 2, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    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 U.S. 
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 
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 September 5, 2018, WPC Technologies, Oak Creek, Wisconsin, filed 
a petition with the Commission

and Commerce, alleging that an industry in the United States is 
materially injured by reason of LTFV imports of strontium chromate from 
Austria and France. Accordingly, effective September 5, 2018, the 
Commission, pursuant to section 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)), 
instituted antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1422-1423 
(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 September 12, 2018 (82 FR 46189). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on September 26, 2018, 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 October 22, 2018. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 4836 (October 
2018), entitled Strontium Chromate from Austria and France: 
Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1422-1423 (Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.
