INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-702 (Final)]


Ferrovanadium and Nitrided Vanadium From Russia

Determination

    On the basis of the record 1 developed in the subject 
investigation, the Commission determines, pursuant to section 735(b) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)) (the Act), that an industry 
in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports from 
Russia of ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium, provided for in 
subheadings 2850.00.2000, 7202.92.0000, 7202.99.5040, 8112.40.3000, and 
8112.40.6000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, 
that have been found by the Department of Commerce 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)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective December 30, 
1995, following a preliminary determination by the Department of 
Commerce that imports of ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium from 
Russia were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)).2 Notice of the institution of the 
Commission's investigation and of a public hearing 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 
January 19, 1995 (60 FR 3873). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on May 23, 1995, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.

    \2\ The petition in this investigation was filed prior to the 
effective date of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (``URAA''). This 
investigation, thus, remains subject to the substantive and 
procedural rules of the pre-existing law. See P.L. 103-465, approved 
Dec. 8, 1994, 108 Stat. 4809, at section 291.

    The Commission transmitted its determination in this investigation
