INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-611 and 731-TA-1428 (Preliminary)]


Aluminum Wire and Cable From China

Determinations

    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 aluminum 
wire and cable from China that are alleged to be sold in the United 
States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized by the 
government of China.\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 52811 and 83 FR 52805 (October 18, 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 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

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 aluminum wire and cable from China. 
Accordingly, effective September 21, 2018, the Commission, pursuant to 
sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 
1673b(a)), instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-611 
and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1428 (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 27, 2018 (83 FR 48864). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on October 12, 2018, 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 
November 5, 2018. The views of the Commission are contained in USITC 
Publication 4843 (November 2018), entitled Aluminum Wire and Cable from 
China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-611 and 731-TA-1428 (Preliminary).
