INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigations Nos. 701-TA-433 (Preliminary) and 731-TA-1029 
(Preliminary)]


Allura Red Coloring From India

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(Commission) determines, pursuant to section 703(a) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a)) (the Act), that there is no reasonable 
indication that an industry in the United States is materially injured 
or threatened with material injury, or that the establishment of an 
industry in the United States is materially retarded, by reason of 
imports from India of allura red coloring, provided for in subheading 
3204.12.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that 
are alleged to be subsidized by the Government of India. The Commission 
also determines, pursuant to section 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 
1673b(a)), that there is no reasonable indication that an industry in 
the United States is materially injured or threatened with material 
injury, or that the establishment of an industry in the United States 
is materially retarded, by reason of the subject imports from India 
that are also alleged to be sold in the United States at less than fair 
value (LTFV).

Background

    On March 4, 2003, a petition was filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Sensient Technologies Corporation, Milwaukee, WI, alleging 
that an industry in the United States is materially injured or 
threatened with material injury by reason of subsidized and LTFV 
imports of allura red coloring from India. Accordingly, effective March 
4, 2003, the Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation 
No. 701-TA-433 (Preliminary) and antidumping duty investigation No. 
731-TA-1029 (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 March 11, 2003 (68 FR 11579). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on March 25, 2003, and all 
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in 
person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these 
investigations to the Secretary of Commerce on April 18, 2003. The 
views of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3595 (April 
2003), entitled Allura Red Coloring from India: Investigations Nos. 
701-TA-433 (Preliminary) and 731-TA-1029 (Preliminary).
