INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation No. 731-TA-725 (Final)]


Manganese Sulfate from the People's Republic of China

Determination

    On the basis of the record 1 developed in the subject 
investigation, the Commission unanimously determines, pursuant to 
section 735(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1673d(b)) (the 
Act), that an industry in the United States is not materially injured 
or threatened with material injury, and the establishment of an 
industry in the United States is not materially retarded, by reason of 
imports from the People's Republic of China (China) of manganese 
sulfate, provided for in subheading 2833.29.50 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).2

    \1\ The record is defined in sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR Sec. 207.2(f)).
    \2\  The product covered by this investigation is manganese 
sulfate, including manganese sulfate monohydrate 
(MnSO4 x H2O) and any other forms, whether or not 
hydrated, without regard to form, shape, or size, the addition of 
other elements, the presence of other elements as impurities, and/or 
the method of manufacture.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background

    The Commission instituted this investigation effective May 11, 
1995, following a preliminary determination by the Department of 
Commerce that imports of manganese sulfate from China were being sold 
at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
Sec. 1673b(b)). The petition in this investigation was filed on 
November 30, 1994, prior to the effective date of the Uruguay Round 
Agreements Act. Thus, this investigation was subject to the substantive 
and procedural rules of the Tariff Act of 1930 as it existed prior to 
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.3 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 
May 24, 1995 (60 F.R. 27555). The hearing was held in Washington, DC, 
on October 3, 1995, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.

    \3\ See P.L. 103-465, approved December 8, 1994, 108 Stat. 4809, 
at Sec. 291.
