INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigations Nos. 731-TA-1082 and 1083 (Preliminary)]


Chlorinated Isocyanurates From China and Spain

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(Commission) determines, pursuant to section 733(a) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)) (the Act), that there is a reasonable 
indication that an industry in the United States is materially injured 
by reason of imports from China and Spain of chlorinated isocyanurates, 
provided for in subheading 2933.69.60 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to Sec.  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 Sec.  207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the 
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 the 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 May 14, 2004, a petition was filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Clearon Corp., Fort Lee, NJ, and Occidental Chemical Corp., 
Dallas, TX, alleging that an industry in the United States is 
materially injured by reason of LTFV imports of chlorinated 
isocyanurates from China and Spain. Accordingly, effective May 14, 
2004, the Commission instituted antidumping duty investigations Nos. 
731-TA-1082 and 1083 (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 May 21, 2004 (69 FR 29328). The 
conference was held in Washington, DC, on June 4, 2004, 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 June 28, 2004. The views 
of the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 3705 (July 2004), 
entitled Chlorinated Isocyanurates from China and Spain: Investigations 
Nos. 731-TA-1082 and 1083 (Preliminary).

    Issued: June 29, 2004.

    By order of the Commission.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
